It's a relatively rare feat to witness a player finish in the top-two overall on the Razzball player rater as well as in NL MVP voting two consecutive seasons, then follow up such elite fantasy production with a 99th percentile exit velocity, 98th percentile hard hit rate and 88th percentile xwOBA in the third year to follow. That's two years of high-end, top-two fantasy production followed by sexy batted ball metrics in the third year. What's even rarer is to see a player with that exact profile currently possessing an ADP of 12th overall in drafts entering the 2021 season. Impossible, you say? Well, so is the story of Christian Yelich. And although we all know those batted ball metrics don't tell the full story of Yelich's 2020, we can at least all agree that his current ADP is straight-up bonkers, right? Especially when considering that Yelich's two consecutive seasons in the top two on the Razzball player rater (2018, 2019) represented full seasons, while his disastrous 2020 campaign came in an abbreviated 60-game slate. What is this madness -- and how can you capitalize on it as a fantasy owner this upcoming season?
