Fantasy Baseball BABIP Wonders: Five Guys That Could Improve
Yesterday we checked outย five players with high BABIPs that could regress. Today we look at the flip side of that coin.
Vernon Wells, Los Angeles Angelsย
Heโs never been a high BABIP guy, but his .214 last year was terrible, even for him. He should see improvement there, along with the .214 batting average and .660 OPS. He should come at a nice value considering where heโs being drafted (No. 202ย Mock Draft Central ADP).

Alex Rios, Chicago White Soxย
Just when it looked like he had things figured out again, he went and posted a .237 BABIP, a .227 batting average and a .613 OPS. As long as heโs healthy he should bounce back. If he does, he should alsoย come at a nice value considering where heโs being drafted (No. 215ย Mock Draft Central ADP).
Evan Longoria, Tampa Bay Raysย
In his first three seasons his BABIP didnโt finish below .309, and his batting average .272. Last year though, his BABIP was .239 and his average .244. Heโs too good of a hitter, with too much speed, not to improve in both categories. He wonโt come at a discount, but he should live up to his draft status.
Ian Kinsler, Texas Rangersย
Kinsler is another heavy-hitter with speed that sported aย subpar BABIP (.243) last year. When things are going good, his BABIP is north of .300. He seems to alternate every year between the good and bad marks. If he canย bounce backย there, his .255 batting average should climb closer to his .275 career mark.
Logan Morrison, Miami Marlinsย
His BABIP fell 86 points last year to .265, and subsequently his average fell 36 points to .247. He made a nice jump in power to 23 HRs, but his average, run production (54 runs) and lack of steals (two SBs) make him a modest value pick at (No. 155ย Mock Draft Central ADP).
