Unlock Hidden Power: 5 Sneaky Fantasy Baseball Hitters Ready to Explode Off the Waiver Wire!
2B/3B Brett Baty, Mets (15%)
Player development is not always linear, so it was no surprise when the well-regarded Baty failed in his 2023 trial with the Mets. He spent most of last year in Triple-A, trying to regain his confidence. But things are trending upward this month.

Baty’s still a little too free with the swings — note the five walks and .286 OBP — but a .250 average isn’t a kill shot in today’s game, and he’s knocked six home runs in 100 at-bats. The Mets are giving Baty a chance to play against all pitching handedness, and that’s a key hurdle to clear if we want to consider a hitter in mixed leagues. His bat has been especially useful the last 15 games, on a .333/.364/.714 binge with five of those homers. Maybe the light is going on for the 25-year-old infielder.
