Tyler Locklear DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Seattle Mariners infield prospect Tyler Locklear has begun to heat up at the plate at Triple-A. On Thursday, Locklear snapped his 15-game power drought. Over his last four games, Locklear has tallied at least one hit in each game and has added one double and a long ball. Prior to this recent surge, Locklear held a .091 AVG over his previous six games. Through the first 33 games of the Triple-A regular season, Locklear has posted a strong .297/.371/.461 slash line with 12 doubles and three home runs. Last summer, the No. 11-ranked prospect in the Seattle system made his MLB debut but appeared in just 16 games during this brief stint. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his production as he could be in the mix for a longer stint during his next appearance in the big leagues.

Seattle Mariners first base prospect Tyler Locklear went 3-for-4 with two home runs and a double on Friday evening. Locklear was recently sent back down to Triple-A after the Mariners acquired Justin Turner at the trade deadline. Locklear struggled through his first look at the major leagues with a .156/.224/.311 line. However, at Triple-A this season, the former second-round selection has posted a .273/.373/.500 line. Locklear is a name to keep an eye on in deeper AL-only formats this summer, as he could earn another look at the major leagues in the stretch run.

The VCU product has gotten two brief stints at the major league level this season and held an overall .156/.224/.311 line with two home runs and one stolen base.

The Seattle Mariners recalled infield prospect Tyler Locklear from Triple-A Tacoma, and he's starting at first base and batting sixth for the M's on Tuesday against the visiting division-rival Los Angeles Angels and right-hander Jose Soriano. Locklear, the club's No. 6 prospect per MLB Pipeline, has an opportunity to carve out regular playing time at the cold corner in Seattle now that Ty France is no longer on the roster. The 23-year-old right-handed hitter went just 6-for-30 (.200) in his first 11 big-league games earlier this year but also had two home runs, a double and three RBI while fanning 12 times. The 6-foot-2, 210-pounder has excellent raw power, making him intriguing in deep-mixed leagues for those in need of some pop down the stretch. Locklear had an .887 OPS at two minor-league levels for the Mariners this year, and they're hoping he'll help boost their offense in the coming weeks and months.

Seattle Mariners first base prospect Tyler Locklear went 3-for-5 with a double, and a triple on Wednesday evening. Since July 1, the former second-round selection has been on a great run with a .355/.436/.710 slash line and two long balls. Locklear made his major league debut in May but only logged 10 games with a .200/.250/.433 line before being sent back down to Triple-A. The VCU product has progressed through the Seattle system very quickly as he opened the season at Double-A and already earned a stint in the majors. The 23-year-old is a name to keep a close eye on in deeper AL-only leagues, as he could be worth adding once he re-joins the major league roster in the second half of the summer.
