Washington Nationals shortstop Trea Turner is a late-first round selection in fantasy drafts and for good reason. He can be an all-around elite player, if not for battling injuries in his young career. For the second time in three seasons, Turner missed a chunk of the year with an injury (broken right index finger).
Despite a career-high strikeout rate (19.9) in 2019, his batting average jumped higher after an increase in his CTBA (.380). His walk rate (7.6) was in line with his career average (7.5), and he fell just short of everyone’s lofty expectations in steals, which could have been related to his finger injury.
