BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed and NL-Only Leagues
Ownership: 4% of Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: The Braves’ top pitching prospect and a consensus Top 100 prospect overall, Matt Wisler can provide an immediate boost to fantasy teams in NL-only leagues and deep mixed leagues. The 22-year-old right-hander has performed well in the minors. He has a bulldog mentality on the mound that gives him the potential to be a strong middle-of-the-rotation starter, and a four-pitch repertoire with good command of all four pitches, particularly his fastball (low 90s) and his late-breaking slider.
Wisler is especially dominant against right-handed hitters and posts incredible K:BB ratios when battling players on that side, but loses a little of his glow when throwing to lefties. Overall, he’s a low-risk guy, and he should receive a good deal of starts as Mike Foltynewicz has been optioned to Triple-A. The rotation job is his to lose, and he’s available in nearly every fantasy league.
