BATTERS: 2019 Sleepers

This column will help you target batters who may be undervalued heading into draft day and have the potential to take a significant step forward in 2019. In many leagues, they can be considered breakout targets.

Let's try to find the most appealing breakout targets by looking at highly-skilled bats who earned modest value in 2018.

This same exercise last year pointed owners to guys like Matt Chapman (3B, OAK), Ozzie Albies (2B, ATL), and José Martínez (1B/RF, STL).

Here is a list of the most skilled bats who generated between $5 and $15 last season:
