Desmond Lindsay

After showing a lot of promise in a 32-game run in the New York-Penn League in 2016, Lindsay looked quite ordinary in his full-season debut before his season was cut short in late July due to ulnar nerve (elbow) surgery. He continued to walk at an excellent clip (13.1 percent), but his strikeout rate spiked from 19.4 percent to 30.7 percent. That massive spike along with a 60-point drop in BABIP (down to .298) explains how such a promising hitter only managed a .220 average in his age-20 season. Once considered a plus runner, Lindsay has filled out his 5-foot-11, 196-pound frame and managed just four steals on six attempts. He will contribute on the bases going forward, but may struggle to chip in more than 10-to-15 steals over a full season. On the bright side, he still has plus raw power and his all-fields approach is very impressive for a hitter his age. He can be thrown back in leagues where 150-200 prospects are rostered, but should be on watch lists in all dynasty formats.
