Fantasy Analysis
Though he hit the same number of home runs as he did in 2008, Pence made subtle progress last year, increasing his walks by 18 and decreasing his strikeouts by 15. The more he closes that gap, the better off he'll be as he enters his prime. Even though his batting average decreased in the second half, making his All-Star appearance an afterthought, he did hit 12 home runs over his final 194 at-bats, showing he might be on the verge of a big breakout. And low and behold, he turns 27 two weeks into the season. Pence is already a serviceable Fantasy outfielder well worth a middle-round pick, but if he can get up to 30 homers and show a little more consistency with his batting average, he could emerge as an Adam Lind-type. If you like your middle-round picks to have a little upside, give Pence a look on Draft Day.
