BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 45% of leagues
ANALYSIS: It has taken forever for people to realize that Johan Camargo is the third baseman for the Atlanta Braves and is more than a low-budget fill-in. He continues to earn not only your attention but also a place on your fantasy roster. His game all along has been about batting average. Recently, he is trying to change that narrative as well. In the last 14 days, Camargo has hit four homers with eight RBI and a .340 batting average. Currently at 17, he has a chance to reach 20 HR this season as well. Though Camargo’s hard-hit rate has reduced in the second half (32%), he is still finding more success with 14 doubles, eight homers, and a .322 average. It likely stems from his increase in line drive rate (24%).
Even the Braves are realizing the caliber of player they have on their hands and have moved him up to the two-hole in the lineup for the last two games. He routinely hits fifth in the order. Camargo has a series on the road playing the Giants before returning home to face the Nationals this week. He will face four righties and two lefties. Though he is weaker against right-handed pitchers, he is still batting .275 against them. Camargo deserves to be owned in more leagues.
