Jorge Soler is a fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup for hitters heading into Week 8 (2023). Target Soler as a free agent outfielder on the waiver wire.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 27% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Since Jorge Soler was highlighted here last week, he's hit safely in seven consecutive games. That includes three multi-hit performances and three home runs. He also accrued a nine percent ownership bump in that span. Overall, Soler is up to a .245/.323/.504 slash line with nine home runs.
Jorge Soler hit multiple 110+ mph HR last night for the @Marlins.
Prior to Soler, Giancarlo Stanton was the only Marlins hitter to accomplish this feat in the Statcast era (since 2015). Stanton had 5 such games.

The production boost was overdue for Soler, whose advanced numbers have implied success all season. He sports a .566 xSLG, 18.9% barrel rate, 93.1 MPH average exit velocity, .380 xwOBA, 50.5% hard-hit rate, and 121 wRC+. Soler's underlying numbers rival the optics of his 48-home run campaign in 2019. It's not sensible to expect that tier of production, but a healthy Soler can comfortably eclipse 30 home runs this season.
