Joey Gallo, OF, Texas Rangers

Price: $3,000

Speaking of pop, Joey Gallo has a huge .281 ISO on a 46.6% hard-hit rate and 52.6% fly-ball rate this season.

That hard-hit rate jumps to 47.3% if we look at just his work against righties, and among hitters with 100-plus batted balls in that split, Gallo ranks 11th in average exit velocity.

His numbers have been especially gaudy at home at Globe Life Park, with his wOBA jumping to a huge .385 with a .343 ISO, giving him uncommon upside for a guy priced this low.
