2020 Fantasy Baseball: First Basemen ADP Analysis
From a distance, the first base player pool looks weaker than expected after considering the jump in home runs in 2019. Three players had over 100 runs and over 100 RBI – Freddie Freeman (.295/113/38/121/6), Pete Alonso (.260/103/53/120/1), and Cody Bellinger (.305/121/47/115/15).
D.J. LeMahieu was a fourth player (.327 with 109 runs, 26 home runs, 102 RBI, and five steals), but I consider him to have the most value when slotted to play second base for a fantasy team.
Last year 16 players with a first base qualification hit 30 home runs or more. Seven players scored over 100 runs, and seven players had over 100 RBI.
