Fantasy Baseball Alert: Chase Burns’ Surprise Debut and Jo Adell’s Unexpected Power Surge Shake Up Waiver Wire!
Nolan Schanuel – 1B, LAA: 15% rostered
(BATTING AVERAGE ASSET, POTENTIAL POWER GROWTH)
I’ve always liked Schanuel. He has tremendous plate discipline. He makes an elite amount of contact. He pulls the ball enough to do damage, and I think he’s trying to be more selective in getting pitches he can drive. The power numbers aren’t great, but Schanuel now hits at the top of a batting order that includes Zach Neto, Mike Trout, Jorge Soler, Taylor Ward, and Logan O’Hoppe. It’s not a bad spot, and if your primary goal isn’t power, then I think Schanuel could be a good bet for you. Same goes for Ty France – 1B, MIN (7% rostered), who remains the starting first baseman in Minnesota with a solid 8.4% barrel rate. He has less speed than Schanuel does and similarly modest power, but his batting average will be helpful, and he’ll chip in enough in the counting stats to help you in deeper formats.
