Brayan Rocchio

After appearing in 23 MLB games in 2023, Rocchio got more extended run with Cleveland in 2024 as the team's primary shortstop. The 23-year-old looked like a glove-first player who offered a little speed on the bases but was mostly inconsistent as a hitter. Rocchio ended up finishing the year with a .614 OPS, eight home runs and 10 stolen bases in 143 games. Looking ahead, he once again projects as the team's top option at short, and on a club that values defense and solid fundamentals, Rocchio should be able to hold onto the job. He has shown flashes of more offensive promise in the minors, so there may also be some room for growth in his game as well. For the time being, Rocchio isn't the most exciting fantasy option, but the playing time should be there and he's worth keeping an eye on if his production starts to trend upward. Read Past Outlooks
