BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 18% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Tampa Bay Rays infielder Daniel Robertson had a strong weekend that kept him on the fantasy radar. A pair of home runs over the weekend boosted Robertson’s season line to .273/.424/.473.
As the gaudy OBP indicates, Robertson has drawn a ton of walks in the early going – 27, to be exact, giving him a 19.4 BB% on the year. If he qualified, that mark would rank second in MLB, behind only Bryce Harper. Fresh off a reworking of his swing, Robertson is also posting solid contact quality metrics to supplement that excellent eye. A 24.1% soft hit ball rate is not ideal, but he does have a solid 35.4% hard hit ball rate and a strong 21.5% line drive rate.
With eligibility at three infield positions, it is surprising to see him so overlooked. He can fill in at many positions and is a must-add in deeper leagues.
