Bo Bichette News
Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette has had a nice turnaround at the plate this month after struggling in April. He opened the year with a .213/.237/.298 slash line and just four extra-base hits (two homers, two doubles) in April. However, in May, he's slashed .271/.319/.494 while tallying seven doubles and four home runs. Given the high expectations this year for the 24-year-old, Bichette's start to the year has been a bit underwhelming. However, fantasy managers have no reason to be concerned. The majority of his underlying stats are right where they were last year, when he was a fantasy stud. With his 83rd percentile average exit velocity (91.1 mph) and his 84th percentile xBA (.289), we expect to see better numbers from Bichette across the board going forward.
Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette went 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout in the final game of the team's three-game series against the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday. Bichette had a big game in the series opener on Monday, going 3-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored. He then singled and stole a base in Game 2 of the series. Overall, Bichette has fared better at the plate in May than in April. He's tallied seven extra-base hits while posting an .808 OPS in May. Last month, he only managed four extra-base hits and had a .535 OPS. Bichette and the Blue Jays are off on Thursday, then the team begins a three-game home series against the Cincinnati Reds on Friday.
Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette went 1-for-4 with a walk and a strikeout in the team's 6-5 loss to the New York Yankees on Tuesday. He has now reached base at least once in eight of nine games in May and he's slashing .306/.359/.500 across the first third of the month. Bichette is slugging just .354 on the year, which is well below his career slugging percentage of .488. However, he has an xSLG of .465, which is only slightly lower than his career .489 xSLG. Additionally, he is currently maintaining a career-high 50.5% hard-hit rate, up from 47.5% last year. While Bichette's .238 batting average and three home runs over 31 games aren't the metrics fantasy managers were hoping to see right now, we expect better days ahead for the 24-year-old.

Bo Bichette's first full season in the Majors couldn't have gone much better. In 159 games, Bichette's fantasy line was .298 avg, 29 HR, 102 RBI, 121 R and 25 SB. Only three other players had 20/20 seasons with 100+ runs and RBI. And none of the others hit over .270. Only Blue Jays teammate Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (123) scored more runs than Bichette so it should come as no surprise that Bichette is currently being drafted in the middle of the first round. Bichette's value does take a slight hit in leagues counting walks or OBP as his 5.8% BB% ranked in the 13th percentile. That's down to how aggressive he is at the plate, with a 57.8% Swing% which ranked tied-third among qualified hitters in 2021. It certainly didn't do him any harm considering his performance and the league leader in Swing% was Salvador Perez who was tied for the MLB lead in homers with 48. Bichette was a blue-chip prospect and given 2021 was his first full season, there's reason to believe he can improve in 2022. A repeat of 2021 will provide draft day value and if he does take a further step forward, he's got the potential to be the fantasy MVP in 2022.
