An outfielder who does a lot things well but doesn't hit HR is almost always going to be underrated.

He played prep locally to me and I'd say he's underrated even by bay area folks.

Off to a heck of a start. Already two home runs (just 5 last year)

I think there's enough evidence now to mention Danny Jansen (by me too). He's injury-prone, but across six seasons and a bit, his pro-rated stats are good. Per 162 games:
26 HR, 77 RBI, walks and strikeouts average, .225/.310/.440, 3.4 WAR
His pre-season ranking in our fantasy league was #1,113. I don't know how he'd fare if he ever had a season where he played 140 games--he might just be effective as a part-time player.

Holy cow--I need serious CliffsNotes there.

Watching the Dodgers series I definitely had the thought “whotf is this guy and why is he the best guy on the team?”
Then I googled Eric Soggard to check if they actually looked like each other or if they both just wore glasses. Turns out it was the second option
