BALLER MOVE: Stash in Deeper Leagues
OWNED IN: 19% of Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: With the Mets’ decision to (finally) demote Dillon Gee, opportunity arises for Steven Matz, one of the organizations best pitching prospects. We’re seeing Matz at the major league level a year earlier than he was projected, but that doesn’t mean he can’t assist your struggling fantasy rotation. Matz relies on three pitches – fastball, slider, changeup – with his fastball grading as a plus pitch and the changeup above-average. At the Triple-A level this season, he has had some issues with command, but he’s posted a strong ERA (2.11) and FIP (3.47) despite it. He should benefit from playing in a pitching friendly park and at the back of an already strong rotation.
