Call them "sleepers," "breakouts," "steals" -- it doesn't matter. All that matters is you find some of these value players in your 2022 fantasy baseball draft.Below is a list of some of Fantasy Alarm's favorite sleepers heading into this season. What's the criteria? Players who are likely going to go after the 15th round in 12-team leagues. Obviously, some of these players could be reaches if you're in a 10-team league or only play with three OFs and no MIs or CIs, but that doesn't mean you should completely ignore these players either. At the very least Melky Cabrera Jersey , they should be on your waiver-wire watchlist if they have hot starts.2022 FANTASY BASEBALL RANKINGS: | | | | | | | | Eduardo Rodrguez, DET, SPNew jersey, new E-Rod, right? Thats the hope among many Tigers' fans and fantasy baseball owners around the world. The Tigers shelled out $77 million over five years to bring Rodriguez in despite pitching to a near 5.00 ERA last season. Look beyond that ERA, however, and youll see Rodriguez was very good in 2021. He faced some very bad luck, as he had a .363 BABIP. Moreover, he notched a 3.43 xFIP and 3.65 SIERA, both over 100 points lower than his aforementioned ERA. Where he excelled was in the strikeout department. He had 185 Ks in 157.2 IP and posted a career best 27.4-percent K-rate. He matched his 2020 SwStr percentage at 11.7, which is a solid mark.He now shifts from Fenway Park, which is the second-best offensive rated park over the past three seasons, to Comerica Park, which ranks Cheslor Cuthbert Jersey 20th. A ground-ball pitcher with an elevated K-rate heading to a pitchers park? Sign us up for the best few seasons of his career, starting with 2022.DOMINATE YOUR DRAFT: Brendan Rodgers, COL, 2B/SSIn 102 games in 2020, the former No. 3-overall pick really started showing his potential, belting 15 homers while hitting .284. Rodgers has a lot going for him entering the 22 season, but two things really stand out. First, its his multi-position eligibility. Being able to play both middle infield spots is a great thing to have. Second, and what probably is first in a lot of peoples eyes, is his home field. Heres the most impre sive part of his '21 season and what could lead to a '22. Look at his splits below and tell us what you see.Figure it out yet? He was actually on the road! How many players call Coors home and can put that on their resume? Not many. But if we see some positive regre sion at home, mainly Billy Hamilton Jersey in the power department, we could be talking about a guy approaching 30 home runs after hitting 15 in 102 games a year ago. This is a guy who has the upside to finish in the top 12 at each middle infield spot.Ranger Surez, PHI, SP (ADP - 180.70)Are we completely overlooking how good Suarez was last year once he entered the Phillies rotation? Sure, he was a fantastic reliever, too, but he didn't skip a beat as a starter.His K-rate, which generally is higher out of the 'pen, was virtually the same. He also walked fewer batters, allowed far fewer home runs, and had a better FIP as a starter. Sustainability is obviously the question on everyones mind since he started three games prior to last year, when he started 12. Throughout his entire minor league career, Suarez was a starter. Maybe the strikeout stuff isnt sustainable since he never really flashed that upside at any level, but if he keeps the ball on the ground 60 percent of the time, hell do just fine. It needs to be mentioned that his fastball velocity was an all-time high in 2021, reaching 93.8 mph, which was the first time over 93 for an entire campaign since he entered the big leagues back in '18.MORE FANTASY: | | Matt Chapman, TOR, 3BAt this point in Chapmans career, it looks like were going to have to live with the strikeouts. Although he cut his K-rate from 2020, his 21 mark was still north of 30 percent ( George Brett Jersey 32.5). But he still seems to be falling way too far in drafts, even if he's unlikely to match his '19 numbers in which he nearly reached 40 home runs and had 102 RBIs.When you point to where Chapmans struggles were in 2021 you can point to all his numbers in Statcast. He barreled the ball at a decent 13.7-percent clip, but he was not making nearly as much hard contact, as his hard-hit rate dropped to 41.7 (career mark is 45.5) and his exit velocity was a career low 89.7 mph. The good thing is nothing suggests this is something thats going to continue to drop considering just the year prior he had a career best 93.6-mph exit velocity.Lets not fail to mention 2021 was a year in which he was recovering from hip surgery. Well, now that hes had an entire offseason to let it fully heal, the po sibility of the '19 version of Chapman is very Mike Moustakas Jersey likely. Third base is weak in fantasy baseball this season, and while there are a lot of potentially solid plays, there are also a lot of potential busts. Im willing to go out on a limb and say Chapman could be the steal of the position.DOMINATE YOUR DRAFT: Gregory Soto, DET, RPWith A.J. Hinch naming Soto as the Tigers' closer entering 2022, it's all systems go on a late-round closing option here. Soto has electric stuff, notching a 27-percent K-rate or better in two consecutive seasons and over 10 K/9 in each season, as well. Soto has become a two-pitch pitcher with the fastball and slider, and his velocity over the past two seasons has risen. Look at where the velocity started in '19 at 95.4 MPH to where it ended up in '21 at 98.3 MPH.What the graphic above shows is that he began throwing his slider at a much higher rate last year than he has throughout the first two years of his career. That pitch, amongst all qualified relievers, ranks as the 11th-best in baseball. If his 98-plus mph fastball can catch up and be nearly half as effective as the slider, he could be the best steal out of the bullpen during Hunter Dozier Jersey draft season.Patrick Sandoval, LAA, SPIts understood when you hear "stre s fracture in his back" it doesnt sound good, but when Sandovals 2021 campaign came to an end due to the aforementioned injury, it was made clear that his '22 season would in no way be impacted.Maybe his biggest stride of all, and maybe the most important to us fantasy owners, is the swinging strike (SwStr) rate of 15.2 percent. You know who has those types of numbers? The Corbin Burnes, Max Scherzers, and Robbie Rays of the world. Only five qualified pitchers had that high of a swinging strike rate in 2021. All were asking for is one healthy season, Mr. Sandoval. Thats all!MORE FANTASY: | | Josh Rojas, AZ, 2B/SS/OFIts very hard to see a guy projected to leadoff -- in a hitters ballpark -- that has three-position eligibility and not be extremely interested in him. Last season was Rojas' first as a f
