Johan Camargo (2B/3B/SS, ATL) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 2% of leagues

ANALYSIS:

Last 7 days: two runs, zero HR, three RBI, .278 AVG

Atlanta Braves infielder Johan Camargo has the job at third base in Atlanta with the team releasing Jose Bautista. He also has a .278 batting average, two runs scored, and three RBI in the last seven days.

In 82 games in 2017, Camargo had a good rookie season. He hit four homers with 30 runs, 27 RBI and a .299 batting average. He even had a good eye at the plate and only struck out 19.9% of the time. That success has yet to translate in 2018.

Camargo is not the prototypical power third baseman. Camargo has never hit more than four homers in a season in the minors. In 24 games, Camargo is only hitting .226 with two homers and 13 RBI. He has been more selective at the plate and improved his walk rate to 17.1% while only striking out at rate of 18.4%. Camargo swings at only 41.2% of pitches, but makes contact at a 80.5% rate. It is also worth noting that this six foot, 160 pound third baseman is hitting the ball with a hard rate of 52.1%.

In deep leagues, Camargo is not a bad choice to roster. In dynasty leagues, he would have to play very well to keep Austin Riley from taking over the position from his on-deck assignment at Triple-A. Until that time, keep an eye on Camargo over the next week and jump on him if he is taking advantage of the opportunity.
