Ian Happ News
Chicago Cubs Ian Happ had an impressive performance at the plate Friday, going 3-for-5 in a 6-2 win over Minnesota. The 28-year-old outfielder has been finding his groove recently, maintaining a batting average of .357 across his last seven games. Looking at his overall season stats, Happ has been a consistent offensive contributor. He boasts a solid batting average of .321, four home runs, 18 RBI, and four stolen bases in the 36 games he has played thus far.
Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Washington Nationals. The switch-hitting outfielder will get a routine rest day here. It's a well deserved off day considering he's only sat out twice this season. Nelson Velazquez will cover left field and bat eighth against lefty MacKenzie Gore on Monday. Velazquez has been solid in his few at-bats this season, but probably not enough of a sample size to trust him in fantasy formats.
Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ is getting the day off on Sunday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 28-year-old is off to a rock-solid start this season, slashing .307/.418/.507 with two home runs, 13 RBI, and four stolen bases over 75 at-bats. Patrick Wisdom is filling in at left field on Sunday as the Cubbies look to split the four-game series with Los Angeles.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ had arguably his best full offensive season in 2022. He set a career-high with a .271 batting average, hit 17 bombs, stole nine bases, and had 72 runs and RBI. Many of Happ's metrics weren't pretty, but he still hit the ball with force consistently (65th percentile average exit velocity), and his 6.5% barrel rate almost has to progress towards his career rate of 10.3%. Ground balls have been a problem for a while, but he still hit 54 homers over 363 games from 2020-2022 while running a ground ball rate above 47%. Surpassing 20 homers should be easy next year. Fantasy managers shouldn't be drafting Happ for his batting average, considering his .249 career mark and .239 xBA from this season. However, he made significant strides in his plate discipline, posting a whiff rate under 30% for the first time (27.2%) and was more aggressive in the zone (71.7% zone swing rate), leading to his lowest strikeout rate as a big-leaguer, 23.2%. Further, with the shift ban coming into place next year, he can crack the .250 mark, as Happ's pulled grounders 57.6% of the time over his six seasons. And although the 28-year-old's never swiped more than nine bases, the former top prospect's an above-average runner (66th percentile sprint speed), so he shouldn't be a zero in that category. There's little to show that Happ can't reach his Steamer projections: .246, 23 HRs, 77 runs, 80 RBI, and nine steals across 149 games. It's worth his 158 ADP, and he should provide more than Hunter Renfroe, who's going eight picks earlier.
