Los Angeles Angels second baseman David Fletcher will try and extend his hit streak to six games Tuesday against the Royals. Fletcher has begun to hit the ball with more consistency and is 17-for-48 (.354) over his last 15 games with 10 runs scored. Fletcher will never be mistaken for a power hitter but is 7-for-18 (.388) during his current five-game hitting streak. The Angels have pegged veteran Justin Upton as their leadoff hitter of the moment but his current hot streak could benefit Fletcher's run-scoring ability from the bottom of the order. Fletcher lacks value, however, across standard fantasy formats.
Los Angeles Angels second baseman David Fletcher will try and raise his offensive game heading into the month of June. Fletcher has been bounced from the leadoff spot and posted a .626 OPS in the month of May. The versatile infielder is hitting a surprising .372 with runners in scoring position but is slugging only .302 for the season overall. Fletcher has fared a bit better from the ninth spot in the lineup, .279 through 49 at-bats, but currently is not capable of helping fantasy rosters at this time.
Los Angeles Angels second baseman David Fletcher will try and get his season going when the team opens up a series with the Rangers beginning Tuesday. Fletcher has three hits in his last two games but has been hobbled recently by a hip injury. The versatile infielder is known for hitting for a high average atop the Angels lineup but is currently slashing an unappetizing .254/.281/.288 through 177 at-bats. Fletcher has limited fantasy value at this time.

David Fletcher is everyone's favorite old-school, contact hitter. In last year's shortened season, we saw him hit a career-best .319 with an .801 OPS. Fletcher doesn't worry about putting the ball in the air or even making solid contact. He puts the ball in play and lets volume be his friend. He was in the 98th percentile in K-rate and 100th percentile in whiff rate. Through three career seasons, Fletcher's 31.5% line-drive percentage is 5.8 points better than average. There are no secrets here. Unfortunately, this type of performance simply doesn't translate to useful fantasy production. Fletcher's absolute peak - which probably looks like 2020 stretched out over a full campaign - makes him a one-category fantasy asset and nothing else. His ceiling is incredibly low because he possesses no power and little to no speed production. A bad luck BABIP season makes him unusable. For his career, Fletcher has barreled up three total pitches. His hard-hit percentage was in the bottom one percent this past season. His baserunning runs above average have been in the negative each of the past two seasons. Instead of feeling like a safe place to turn in the back of drafts, he should be treated like a one-category commodity, a la Jon Berti or Manuel Margot. That has value, especially for lineups lacking expected batting average, but it places Fletcher's 202 ADP on the pricey end.
