BALLER MOVE: Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-Only Leagues
OWNED IN: 27% Fleaflicker
ANALYSIS: Steve Pearce was one of the best hitters in baseball during the month of May, slashing an impressive .325/.415/.638 with seven homers and 32 R+RBI. There doesn’t seem to be anything fluky about his performance, either. In fact, a glance at his peripherals suggests a legitimate change in approach. Pearce has trimmed his strikeout rate to below 15 percent and is walking nearly as often. He’s also not pulling the ball quite as often as in the past. Pearce was quite useful for fantasy owners in 2014, so this isn’t unprecedented.
