Identifying sleeper candidates in fantasy baseball, particularly among hitters around the 300th pick or later, can yield significant value in drafts. This analysis highlights five players who may present opportunities based on their recent performance and potential for increased playing time.

Jordan Walker of the St. Louis Cardinals is a notable selection despite a challenging 2024 season. His impressive metrics from 2023 suggest he could reclaim his status as a valuable asset. Similarly, Christopher Morel of the Tampa Bay Rays faced struggles but has underlying power potential that could lead to a bounce-back year. Joey Ortiz from the Milwaukee Brewers checks off both power and speed boxes but needs to improve his launch angle to maximize his production.

Jarred Kelenic, now with the Atlanta Braves, has a chance to become a strong side platoon option despite inconsistencies. Lastly, Chas McCormick from the Houston Astros offers a discount after an injury-plagued season, with potential for double-digit home runs and stolen bases.
