Luis Urias (2B/3B/SS, MIL) - Week 23 Waiver Wire Pickups

Luis Urias is a fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup for Week 23 of the 2021 MLB season. Consider adding the 2B/3B/SS if he's a free agent in your leagues.

BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 12+ teams

ROSTERED IN: 36% of leagues

ANALYSIS: Urias has quietly put together a strong season for the Brewers. He's slashing .248/.339/.442 with 17 home runs, 57 RBI, five stolen bases, and 63 runs scored over 387 at-bats. His rate stats are nothing special and they're right in line with his expected numbers (.238 xBA, .238 xwOBA, and .421 xSLG). What has been special, and surprising, for Urias is the power that he's displayed this season. He's hit more doubles (22) and home runs (17) this year than he had over the first three seasons of his career combined. He's sporting career highs in Barrel Rate (9.4%), Hard Hit Rate (39.4%), and Max Exit Velocity (111.5 mph) as well. He has a respectable 20.9% Strikeout Rate and a healthy 10.5% Walk Rate, which is another career-best.

Next week starts out a little difficult for the Brewers as they visit the Giants for a four-game series before hosting the Cardinals at home for a three-game set. They're slated to face four right-handed starters and three lefties, which works out well for Urias, who has well-balanced splits. He's slashing .244/.340/.439 with 13 long balls against righties and .262/.333/.452 with four homers vs. southpaws this season. While Logan Webb and Kevin Gausman will be tough, Urias has a great chance at success against the likes of Johnny CuetoAlex WoodKwang Hyun Kim, and Jon Lester. He's slashing .320/.358/.580 with three home runs and eight RBI over the last 15 games (50 at-bats) and will look to stay hot over next week's seven-game slate.
