Josh Harrison (2B/3B/OF, PIT) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues

OWNED IN: 27% of leagues

ANALYSIS: Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Josh Harrison just returned from the disabled list and was immediately placed into the leadoff spot and went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI in his first game back. It appears the cause of his DL stint, a fractured finger in his left hand, is no longer a concern. Harrison provides power and speed and is benefitted by hitting at the top of the order.

In 69 plate appearances, Harrison has three doubles, a homer, and 12 runs to go with a .295 average. Although he only has one stolen base on the year, Harrison steals double-digit bases annually. He also has great plate discipline as he has a strikeout rate of 13%. Harrison is also a line-drive hitter (26.5%) that can hit it hard (40.8%) so he will continue to put himself into positions to score and drive in runs should the offense around him improve. That is the biggest issue at the moment. Starling Marte hit the DL and Gregory Polanco has slowed down in the last week. Harrison takes on the Reds and Cardinals this week which should present offensive opportunities.
