Ramon Urias

Urias received his first extended run in the majors in 2021 and hit .279/.361/.412 with seven home runs, 38 RBI and one stolen base in 85 games. The 27-year-old doesn't provide much upside with his power or baserunning, which combined with Baltimore's poor lineup severely limits any fantasy potential. Urias should see plenty of playing time to open the season for the Orioles and will likely need to surpass last season's production to be a worthwhile fantasy asset in 2022.

After joining the Orioles in February, Urias spent the majority of the campaign at the alternate training site, though he made his major-league debut and hit his first big-league homer. Urias has a strong contact profile, regularly recording strikeout rates below 20% in the minors. Simultaneously, he struggled to provide much pop and stole only five bases on eight attempts since reaching the upper levels of the minor leagues in 2018. Urias will be nearly 27 years old when the 2021 campaign kicks off, leaving little upside left to squeeze out of his profile. His strongest opportunity to stick in the major leagues comes from his defensive versatility, as he primarily plays at second base but is capable at both shortstop and third base. Given the Orioles' current lack of depth along the infield, that could be enough for him to earn at-bats at the big-league level in 2021.
