BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 7% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Just by assuming that you have access to the internet or information at all, I can guess that you might have heard that it's already been a roller coaster season for the Miami Marlins, and even more surprising, they are playing very well when they have been able to take the field. One of their more prominent keys to success has been Jesus Aguilar, who has so far recovered fantastically from a pedestrian 2019 campaign with three home runs and a .281/.324/.625 slash through his first 32 AB for the fish.
Aguilar has brought his strikeout rate down to 13.5% (down by 8.5%) and has kept his walk rate at a rock-solid 8.1%. Aguilar's most notable characteristic to this point remains his ability to make high-quality contact and give every batted ball a fighting chance to register, demonstrated by his 51.7% hard contact rate that is being applied to 27.6% line drives and 41.4% fly balls (0.75 GB/FB ratio), which makes his BABIP of .231 seem a bit unreasonable. With his All-Star season of 2018 much more recent than people seem to remember, Jesus Aguilar is off to an excellent start in 2020 that seems well worth having a stake in.
