Yoan Moncada, 2B, Chicago White Sox

Since Yoan Moncada has been called up to the major leagues, he has faced an abundance of pitchers who limit hard contact, like Corey Kluber, Jake Arrieta, and Jason Vargas. The top prospect has managed a hard-hit rate over 38% over the past two weeks, but the results haven't been there with a .150 BABIP. While he does swing and miss a lot and hasn't yet found his groove at the plate, he hits the ball hard when he does make contact.

Moncada and the Chicago White Sox will face Marco Estrada, Marcus Stroman, and J.A. Happ in what could be some high-leverage spots to play the young infielder in tournaments, as many DFS players like to play pitchers against the White Sox. Moncada is only $2,600 on FanDuel and will come at low ownership until he starts to see results.
