| That distance was the longest in baseball last season. Pederson's average distance on his home runs was four feet longer than the slugger second on the list, Giancarlo Stanton. Pederson also hit eight "no doubters," the same amount as Bryce Harper and Yoenis Cespedes. One major concern I do have with Joc is how he finished last season. Pederson hit .230 with 20 home runs in 300 first half at bats, then really struggled down the stretch hitting .178 with six homers in 180 second half at bats. |  rollingstone.com |
If you draft Pederson this year make sure you plan on countering his low batting average with someone later in your drafts who hits for a high average like Matt Holliday, Ben Revere or Kevin Pillar.
