JP Sears is a fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup for pitchers heading into Week 11 (2023). Target Sears as a free agent pitcher on the waiver wire.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues
ROSTERED IN: 7% of leagues
ANALYSIS:
This isn't a streamers piece, but it is worth noting that Sears gets a two-start week this week against the Pirates and Brewers, so that is reason enough to pick him up.
But, in my view, he has proven to be good enough for a long-term add given his decent 22.2% K% and elite 4.5% BB% on the year. Prior to these last two starts against the Braves and Mariners, he had posted a 25.1% K%, so we aren't too far removed from him being an above-average strikeout pitcher.
The best part about the profile is his 13.3% SwStr%, and that suggests to me that the 22% strikeout rate is an underperformance and should be on the rise, and I think it starts this week in these soft matchups with the Pirates and Brewers.
