Niko Kavadas DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Los Angeles Angels first base prospect Niko Kavadas has been showcasing an upside for power in the Arizona Fall League. Through 17 games, the Notre Dame product has launched six long balls and five doubles and carried .373/.500/.797 slash line. Across 94 games at the Triple-A level last summer, Kavadas hit 19 home runs and 22 doubles with a .521 SLG. He earned a brief taste of the majors but struggled as he posted an underwhelming .183/.283/.333 line with four home runs and two doubles across a 30 game stint. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his development over the offseason as he could contend for a spot on the Opening Day Roster and provide some upside for power in deeper formats.

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Niko Kavadas went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run to provide the only offense for his team in Thursday's loss versus the Toronto Blue Jays. The rookie, who recently made his big-league debut collected his first big-league hit when he hit the home run in the top of the ninth inning. Kavadas came over at the trade deadline from the Boston Red Sox and has been playing regularly since his debut on August 18. He is only 1-for-15 thus far, but the at-bats are there for the 25-year-old that hit .264 with 19 homers in Triple-A this season. Despite his opportunity, he will need to hit more for fantasy managers to trust him moving forward.
