4 Fantasy Baseball Breakout Hitters: Elite Bats Or Fake Outs? (Week 15) | Fantasy News

Week 15 of fantasy baseball brings a spotlight on four hitters making waves: Trevor Story, Jo Adell, Otto Lopez, and Ceddanne Rafaela. Story is experiencing a resurgence after a shaky start, driving significant production for the Boston Red Sox with a .915 OPS since June. However, concerns linger about his drop in walk rates and strikeout inconsistencies, casting doubt on the sustainability of his current form.

Jo Adell has been on fire for the Los Angeles Angels, mirroring Mike Trout's explosive production since returning from injury. With improved plate discipline and a potential for 35 home runs this season, Adell is a prime candidate for fantasy managers looking to bolster their lineups. Otto Lopez of the Miami Marlins has shown promise, hitting for a respectable OPS while making strides in reducing strikeouts. His ability to sustain this growth could position him as a valuable asset. Finally, Ceddanne Rafaela has quietly become a significant player for the Red Sox, contributing across multiple categories, but also shows potential for regression that could impact his fantasy viability.

Which of the four players is the most likely to sustain their performance?What strategies should managers use to capitalize on these players?How does player performance affect team dynamics for fantasy managers?What are the future prospects for these four hitters?
