BALLER MOVE: Add in 15+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 19% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Following a red-hot April, Patrick Wisdom came crashing back down to Earth. Due to time lost with injury and a horrible slump, he recorded just four home runs and 13 total hits across 31 games between May and June. Now with his wrist injury seemingly behind him, Wisdom is heating up again at the plate. Over his last four starts, he's generated three home runs, bringing his season total to 17 through 66 games.
THE HARDEST HIT BASEBALL OF PATRICK WISDOM’S CAREER
— CHGO Cubs (@CHGO_Cubs) July 19, 2023
Wisdom features a similar batting profile to Suwinski or Joey Gallo. Overlooking his ugly .218 xBA, Wisdom has a serious power-hitting upside. He sports an outstanding .499 xSLG, 53.7% hard-hit rate, 92.3 MPH average exit velocity, .346 xwOBA, and 20.7% barrel rate. The ceiling is obvious enough to see. Wisdom has struggled to maintain an everyday spot in the Cubs' lineup, but with his bat catching fire and the team likely selling heading into the trade deadline, expect more consistent playing time down the stretch.
