Niko Goodrum (1B/2B/3B/OF, DET) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 7% of leagues

ANALYSIS: Detroit Tigers utility man Niko Goodrum went 4-for-4 on Saturday, giving him two such performances already in the month of July. Despite a forgettable June, the Tigers’ Swiss Army Knife (he is eligible everywhere but catcher) has hit .251/.325/.461 with eight homers and seven steals in less than a half-season’s worth of plate appearances.

While two four-hit games will help, Goodrum does have a solid .328 OBP since the beginning of June. He has 13 extra-base hits in that time period, posting 28 R+RBI and two stolen bases. Goodrum, most impressively, has just a 8.2% soft hit ball rate since the beginning of June and has posted a 26% line drive rate as well.

Other rookies have been flashier or more productive, but Goodrum offers versatility that few can match, and he is an afterthought in almost every league. Do not be one of the owners that sleeps on Goodrum, as his combination of power, speed, and versatility should make him an addition in deeper leagues.
