FANTASY PROFILE: MATT DOMINGUEZ, 3B, HOUSTON ASTROS
LWOS Ranking: 26, Captain’s Value: $0.73
In theory, you could say that Matt Dominguez could get better as he is only 25. While he has demonstrated the ability to hit 15-20 HR per season, he has yet to prove himself to be a valuable hitter and has not shown any signs that a breakout season is likely.
Despite hitting 16 HR last season, he had a 63 wRC+ and a WAR of -1.7. Dominguez also combined the ability to hit for a low AVG (.215) with a BB% of 4.8% which is very mediocre. In all fairness, he also had a very low BABIP of .244 indicating that his AVG is likely to improve in 2015. With that being said, he will still be lucky if his AVG even breaks .250. His aforementioned lack of plate discipline and low batting average indicate that his ceiling is not very high despite his ability to hit for power.
