Los Angeles Angels Bounce Back Candidate: Justin Upton

Nothing seemed to go right for Justin Upton in 2019. The 32-year-old outfielder experienced knee soreness in Spring Training, only to have injuries follow him all season long. After playing in at least 130 games for every season dating back to 2009, Upton appeared in the lineup only 63 times last year. He hit a putrid .215, and for the first time since 2015, failed to hit 30 home runs.

Finally healthy again, Justin Upton is ready for a bounce-back season in 2020. And the projection systems seem to think so, too. Given a good bill of health, multiple projections have him hitting 20+ home runs again, slugging the baseball the way fans are accustom to seeing.
