Again, this is looking at the players that fit the breakout profile entering the 2020 season. The same profile that fit players coming into the 2019 season, such as, Josh Bell, Max Kepler and Ketel Marte. This is not a list of players I like, although I do like a lot of these guys, it is simply the players that fit the profile. So these players might be worth a pick in your league but it depends on the size of your league. 10 team, 12 team or more, NL only, AL only. The breakout profile can be a little broad but I tried to only pick the guys that truly fit the profile. With that being said, I like some of these guys more than others, so I will list them from guys I like most to guys that would be a bit of a flier. Reasons I like some guys more than others with this profile is that it still comes down to opportunity. Their teams have to give these players an opportunity to breakout. So it also depends on roster construction and the teams tendencies that these players play for. Also, remember, this profile is only for hitting. I do pick pitchers that I like every year but this is not that blog.
NL
David Dahl OF
Rhys Hoskins OF
Jesse Winker OF
Ozzie Albies 2B
Paul Dejong SS
Amed Rosario SS
Dansby Swanson SS
Manuel Margot OF
Scott Kingery OF/3B
Brian Anderson OF
Albert Almora OF
Orlando Arcia SS
AL (Not very many this year)
Matt Olson 1B (Fits the profile best, like Bell this year)
Matt Chapman 3B
Rafael Devers 3B
Obviously some of these guys have been very good so far in their career and some haven’t done much. I would bet on these guys having their best seasons next year, or at the very least, coming close to duplicating their best season in the past.
