Ryan Zimmerman, 1B, Washington Nationals

Price: $2,800

Like Duvall, Ryan Zimmerman's 2018 production has been plagued by a low BABIP. He has a .309 career average and finished 2017 with a .335 BABIP. But to open 2018, he has only managed a mark of only .200. That comes despite his 44.3% hard-hit rate sitting well ahead of his career average (35.6%) and his 16.5% soft-hit rate not being far off from his average (14.7%).

Even righty-versus-righty matchups (like he draws against Nova tonight) don't usually slow him down much, and in 2017, he cracked right-handed pitchers for a .375 wOBA and .252 isolated slugging (ISO) on a 39.5% hard-hit rate.

Don't let his slow start to the year scare you off from his big upside.
