Josh Naylor DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Josh Naylor continued his hot stretch of play during Saturday's game against the Washington Nationals. Naylor went deep off right-hander Michael Soroka in the fourth inning, but sadly it wasn't enough as the D-Backs took the 11-7 loss. Naylor finished the game 2-for-4 with a double, home run, and two RBI in the loss. He extended his hitting streak to nine games, which includes four straight multi-hit games. Naylor has been unbelievable at the plate lately and needs to be rostered and started in all fantasy formats.

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Josh Naylor went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer on Monday night against the Pirates, helping to power his team to a 5-0 victory. Naylor's home run came against lefty Andrew Heaney and gives him six on the season to go with his .287 batting average and .348 wOBA. It was his first home run of the year off a southpaw, but he has been thriving against right-handed pitching with a .313 average and .381 wOBA in the split. He isn't quite an elite option at the position, but he can be a solid option at first base in almost all formats since he's in an everyday role with Arizona and has posted fairly strong numbers across the board with the potential to improve as the summer goes on.

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Josh Naylor had a productive evening in his team's 10-6 loss to the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday. Naylor went 2-for-5 with a homer, four RBI, and a stolen base in the loss. The veteran infielder blasted a 413-foot two-run homer in the ninth inning to pull the Diamondbacks to within four runs. Naylor is now hitting .296 with five homers, 21 runs, 27 RBI, and seven steals across 159 at-bats in his first season with Arizona. His blend of power and speed makes him a high-end fantasy first baseman.
