ESPN Fantasy Projection: Turner hit the ball hard with loft for a third consecutive season and exceeded 20 homers for the third time in four years. He also failed to play more than 135 games for the third consecutive season, as he has not been able to avoid the injured list. When he is on the field, the production has been very consistent, even if his strikeout rate has worsened year over year in that time. His 16% strikeout rate in 2019 was still much better than league average, but that rate was 10% two seasons ago. Now in his mid-30s, Turner faces the possibility of his bat beginning to slow down in addition to the health questions. His production could dip if the quality of contact starts the slide in 2020 that his contact rate has seen the past few years.
