MLB All-Star game is fast approaching and there are some obvious choices in the NL West like Nolan Arenado and Cody Bellinger. But there are some sleepers to look at.
It is always fun to see good players developed and succeed. All-Star time is always fun to celebrate the games best players. Some players may get overshadowed by players who are considered stars on their respected teams.
One sleeper to watch would be Joc Pederson of the Dodgers. Pederson has put together a good season, finally meeting expectations. Right now he is in the top ten walks, slugging, home runs and OPS. A big part of the Dodgers success so far. He does get overshadowed by Cody Ballinger.
Another player that could be a sleeper would be Raimel Tapia of the Colorado Rockies. A definite surprise and he has been very reliable offensively and made some good plays on defense. He has .776 OPS and has over 7 triples to help Rockies recent success. A fun player who has a lot of hustler in his play.
Then there is Ketel Marte of the Diamondbacks, a player who really contributes. A career high 14 home runs as a switcher hitter and really knows how to drive in the ball. The Diamondbacks are really enjoying his contributions on the field.
Hunter Renfroe is a good player to look at from the Padres. He has slugged his way off the bench and is playing left field regularly. To become the most offensive player for the Padres while leading all left fielders in OPS. There is a lot to like about him.
All four of these players are deserving of attention, considering what they have done so far. Sleepers are always fun to watch because they are playing better than expected. Here are four players to keep an eye on.
