The players

Josh Jung

A power-hitting third baseman for the Texas Rangers who has struggled with injuries but showed promise in 2023, launching 23 home runs and driving in 70 runs.

Matt Wallner

A Twins outfielder with elite power potential, having managed to hit 22 home runs over 336 at-bats in 2023 with a launch-angle profile that suggests he could reach 30 homers if he stays healthy.

Josh Lowe

The younger brother of Nathaniel Lowe, Josh Lowe had a strong 2023 season for the Rays, hitting .292 with 20 home runs and 32 stolen bases, and a change of scenery to the Angels could help him bounce back from the last two injury-plagued seasons.

Dylan Beavers

A Cardinals outfielder who shows an excellent eye at the plate with a 19% walk rate, and could put up a 20/20 season if he can earn enough playing time to challenge Tyler O'Neill for starts against right-handed pitching.
