Jo Adell is a top fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup for Week 8 (2024). Fantasy baseball managers should add Adell as a waiver wire free agent in all leagues.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 35% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Jo Adell continues to go unnoticed in the majority of fantasy leagues. Through 32 games, he sports an impressive .856 OPS with six home runs, seven stolen bases, and a 137 wRC+. Adell is demonstrating his ability to fulfill a box score in a variety of ways, and with the Los Angeles Angels lineup severely depleted, there is no longer any threat to his playing time.

Adell's underlying numbers continue to support his breakout campaign. The 25-year-old sports an outstanding .412 xwOBA, alongside fantastic batted-ball metrics, like a .590 xSLG, .314 xBA, 15.4% barrel rate, and a 47.7% hard-hit rate. Adell's chase rate leaves something to be desired, but his 24.5% strikeout rate is a remarkable improvement from his career 34.3% strikeout rate.
