Show Notes
Matt McLain, Cincinnati Reds second baseman, missed the entire 2024 season due to shoulder surgery and a rib injury. Despite promising stats in 2023 (290 avg, 65 runs, 16 HR, 50 RBIs, 14 steals), his 2024 season was marred by strikeout issues (28.9%), poor contact quality, and struggles with RBI opportunities. His late-season slump and road performance were particularly concerning. Power metrics declined, but his fly ball tendency and launch angle suggest potential. McLain added muscle over the winter, aiming to boost power, but improving contact is crucial. Hes currently drafting around pick 198 in fantasy leagues.
