10 Fantasy Baseball Picks Who Could Make or Break Your 2018 Season
Rhys Hoskins, Philadelphia Phillies (OF/1B)
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder/first baseman Rhys Hoskins didn't get called up to the Majors until August 10th, but finished 4th in the NL Rookie of the Year voting after setting a record home run pace to start a career. Hoskins got to 19 homers faster than anyone in baseball history, needing just 212 plate appearances to pile up a 2.0 bWAR and a 2.2 fWAR.
He showed throughout his minor league career that he has power (67 home runs from 2016-17 in AA and AAA) and he's always shown a good approach at the plate (13.5% walk rate in AAA last season). But we've likely already likely seen Hoskins' highest home run blitz that he'll ever have in his career. So, just how good can he be with a full season under his belt in 2018?
