Fantasy Baseball Alert: Miguel Vargas’ Surge and Cole Young’s Debut Could Shake Up Your Team!
Max Muncy – 3B, LAD: 34% rostered
(HOT STREAK, RBI UPSIDE)
At the beginning of May, Muncy started wearing glasses during games to help with an astigmatism in his right eye. He didn’t know if it would help him at all, but he said he was willing to try anything if it might help his game. Well, since May 5th, Muncy is hitting .250/.370/.422 with five home runs, 24 RBI, two steals and a 12/13 K/BB ratio in 21 games. We’ve seen Muncy has good stretches before and even the batting average during this hot streak isn’t great, but he’s putting the ball in play and driving in runs. That kind of power and RBI production is useful in any format. If you’re looking for a third baseman in deeper formats, Jose Tena – 2B/3B, WAS (0% rostered) has been posting a solid batting average of late, hitting .286/.368/.429 over his last 15 games with nine runs scored, four RBI and one steal. He is among the leaders on Statcast’s Rolling wOBA Leaderboard and has a 7/7 K/BB ratio over that stretch which highlights his strong swing decisions. As you can tell from the numbers above, he’s not bringing you tons of value, but in really deep formats, a player who is playing regularly and making good swing decisions and getting on base can be valuable.
