Joey Gallo is a fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup for hitters heading into Week 17 (2023). Target Gallo as a free agent outfielder on the waiver wire.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 10% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: If you're seeking access to more home runs, then look to Joey Gallo as a guy who is most likely available in your league. He sports a lopsided .189/.303/.478 slash line with 16 home runs. His track record is long enough for us to comprehend that Gallo isn't going to hit for average. Considering 24 of his 38 hits are for extra bases, he is as boom-or-bust as it goes at the plate. When he's booming, the returns are fantastic.

Gallo partially compensates for his inconsistent approach at the plate with a fantastic 13.2% walk rate. He also struggles to consistently put the ball in play, as evidenced by a horrendous 43.5% whiff rate. Yet, when Gallo does make contact, the results are outstanding. He carries a 21.9% barrel rate, 93.5 MPH average exit velocity, and a 58.1% hard-hit rate. It's probably best to view Gallo as a rental fantasy asset, though he's undoubtedly capable of giving your lineup a major boost.
