BALLER MOVE: Add in 15+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 6% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: It's only been a week, but Mickey Moniak has exploded onto the scene since his promotion. He's slashing .474/.500/.947 through six games, including two home runs, one triple, one double, and two stolen bases. The stellar performance additionally landed Moniak the leadoff spot in the batting order against right-handed pitchers. He won't sustain this level of output. Nobody can. Though it is possible that Moniak is finally here to stay.
And now Mickey Moniak does it with the bat and ties it up for the Angels!

Moniak's success didn't come out of nowhere. He was the first-overall draft pick by the Phillies back in 2016 and carried all the hype that goes with it. Moniak has a long track record of scorching minor-league pitching, including a .940 OPS in 33 games at Triple-A Salt Lake this season. His game has yet to meaningfully translate across several MLB stints dating back to 2020, though the pedigree for success is there.
