Luke Raley is a fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup for hitters heading into Week 13 (2023). Target Raley as a free agent outfielder on the waiver wire.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 37% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Luke Raley has been a fixture on this list for most of the season and continues to put up impressive numbers. Through 54 games, he is slashing .270/.350/.597 with 12 home runs and eight stolen bases. Raley's only discernible downside at the moment is that the Rays generally keep him out of the lineup against left-handed pitching. Still, he's left with the strong side of the platoon and is producing whenever he does get an opportunity.

Looking under the hood, Raley's advanced numbers suggest he will continue to rake. He ranks in the 95th percentile or better with each of his .585 xSLG, 93.1 mph average exit velocity, 53.4% hard-hit rate, 21.4% barrel rate, and .395 xwOBA. Additionally, Raley has hit left-handed pitching well when given the chance, so there is a route to an everyday role in the future.
