JJ Bleday News
Miami Marlins outfielder JJ Bleday had the biggest swing in Tuesday's 6-4 victory over the New York Mets, a two-run home run that looked more like a lazy fly ball until it landed over the right field fence. Bleday also singled and walked in five plate appearances. The rookie has yet to find his stride at the plate, with just a .618 OPS in his first 216 plate appearances, but with five homers and four steals on the year, he still has potential to grow into an excellent all-around fantasy option over the next few seasons.
Miami Marlins outfielder JJ Bleday isn't in the team's starting lineup on Tuesday for a matchup with the Tampa Bay Rays and left-handed starter Shane McClanahan. Bleday made his Major League debut earlier this year for Miami and is batting .200 with a .313 on-base percentage, four home runs, and three stolen bases in 128 plate appearances so far this season. Peyton Burdick is hitting eighth and starting in center field instead against the Rays. The 25-year-old is batting .157 with a .253 on-base percentage, two home runs, and a stolen base in 79 plate appearances this season. Fantasy managers are probably best off looking elsewhere for streaming options given the matchup with McLanahan.
Miami Marlins outfield prospect JJ Bleday has been off to a slow start for Triple-A Jacksonville in 2022. The Marlins first-round pick in 2019, Bleday is now hitless over his last 12 at-bats and has hit a weak .222 batting average with six home runs, 16 RBI, 32 strikeouts and 24 walks. Bleday showed up to spring training having gained 20 pounds in the offseason and it has certainly helped in his power game, but he has struggled outside of that thus far. The former Vanderbilt standout has risen through the Marlins farm system and other than the strikeouts, managers shouldn't be too concerned with plenty of time for him to get adjusted to Triple-A pitching. As long as Bleday could start to lower his strikeout rate and make more contact at the plate, it wouldn't be a surprise to see him get a chance for the Marlins in 2022. For now, he is a name to monitor in redraft leagues and a player to roster in dynasty leagues.
