27-Year-Old OutfielderOF

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Julks showed hints of a power breakout in half a season at Double-A in 2021 and then full-on broke out in 2022 at Triple-A Sugar Land, slugging 31 home runs and stealing 22 bases to go along with an .854 OPS. However, it wasn't enough to get him added to the 40-man roster over the offseason and Julks went unselected in the Rule 5 Draft. He's 27 and doesn't really have a defensive home, so you can understand why. Still, Julks has displayed a fantasy-friendly skill set in the minors, so he'd be worth keeping and eye on if the Astros give him a shot. Read Past Outlooks
