BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 6% of leagues
ANALYSIS: While it is an extremely small sample size, Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins had a 2.6 offensive WAR over the last seven days. He has pulled 48% of his balls in play, and his 30% hard-contact rate has contributed to one HR. Although his .400 BABIP from last week will not last, he has made contact 96% of the time against RHP with a 1.130 OPS in 24 at-bats. With playing time in his future over the final six weeks, the outfielder can add two-three HR to a roster with RBI and R totals in the double-digits.
Even though he was caught stealing in his only stolen base attempt, he stole 12 bases in 12 tries in Triple-A, and he stole nine bases in ten attempts at Double-A Bowie this year. If our fantasy teams are looking for a handful of steals, Mullins has the speed to match Steamer's projection of four SB for the rest of the season. Drawing four walks in 31 at-bats has resulted in a 11.1 BB%, and he drew 22 walks in 240 AAA at-bats.
Owners in a deeper league can look to add Mullins' across-the-board production for a title run.
