We discuss MLB hitters who have performed well over the past few weeks and are strong waiver wire additions or trade options.
The long MLB season makes fantasy baseball season a tough one. Each team has played his 162 games, but the situation is constantly changing, so it’s important to stay on top of the latest trends and news.
Today, I wanted to check out some batters who are progressing in the right direction. Check out the stats for the past week and some numbers for the past 14 days.
Include some famous fantasy players, but exclude some stars (,,,, etc.).

Batters are on the rise
San Diego has had a great season at the plate, but he got even better over the past week, collecting 12 hits. He has a career batting average of .336 with five home runs, 25 RBIs, and 21 RBIs. His profile shows he has an on-base percentage of .418 and also recorded two stolen bases.
He’s currently owned by about 94% of leagues, so it’s unlikely you’ll be able to get him yet in your league. His numbers are bound to drop at some point, which makes him a likely high-sale candidate, but after getting him off the waiver wire (likely), fantasy owners will likely It would be best to enjoy the profile with your own team instead of trying to play. I take action.
Philadelphia has had 22 hits and has been the leading hitter over the past two weeks. Boehm has a season batting average of .349 and an OBP of .418. He also had four home runs, 32 RBIs, 19 runs scored, and one stolen base.
He is currently owned in almost every league and is one of the hottest fantasy hitters right now. He is another high-priced candidate, as he is a career .282 hitter and is highly unlikely to perform this well over a season. His ADP of his is around 150 for a pick, so you’ll probably be able to get a great return on value much higher than his ADP. At least put his name out there and see what offers you get.
The University of Minnesota has recorded 20 hits over the past two weeks, ranking third in the league. His recent form has given him a batting average of .272 and an OBP of .331 this season. Castro had two home runs, 17 RBIs, 12 RBIs, and four stolen bases.
Mr. Castro owned about 5% of the league as of April 24, but he now owns about 70%. He told us about the waiver wire earlier in the week and it’s a hot commodity right now. If you have a struggling hitter or an injured player, Castro becomes a very strong streaming option in the near future. His numbers will drop at some point, so take advantage of his strong performance while you can.
Detroit has been on a roll lately, with 10 hits in the past week and 15 hits in the past two weeks, including six home runs. Green currently has an impressive season batting average of .266 and OBP of .391. He totaled nine home runs, 17 RBIs, and 27 runs scored.
Green is currently owned in just about every league in the league after spending most of the season between 70 and 80 percent. He dealt with an injury a season ago that hurt his ADP (around pick No. 175). Many fantasy owners will be willing to sell Green high after his strong start to the season and recent strong performance.
I understand the thinking behind it, but I think Green is coming into his own as an MLB hitter. He’s been heralded as a promising prospect, and if he can stay healthy for a full season, he’ll likely become one of the top fantasy hitters in the game. If they’re shocked by the offer, they can move Green, but otherwise, I like the idea of ​​enjoying his success.
The Chicago Cubs have averaged the 200th pick in fantasy drafts, but their power has soared recently, with their own pick rate rising to 91st.
Morrell is only batting .220 for the season, but has eight home runs, 23 RBIs, 21 RBIs, and four stolen bases. Morell is on base with a batting average of .315. Morrell has a .239 batting average and .312 OBP over his three-year career, so while he could see an improvement in his averages, it probably won’t be a huge improvement.
Morel wasn’t a premium pick, but his power numbers could help tip him into a deal if you’re considering a trade. You could probably get a player drafted a few rounds earlier, but it’s unlikely that he’ll turn out to be a great fantasy hitter. Still, you might be able to find a more well-rounded hitter with maybe less power but a better average and OBP.
The Minnesota player has been one of the league’s hottest hitters in recent weeks, but he still only owns 31 percent of the league.
Kepler has a batting average of .295, an OBP of .371, two home runs, 11 RBIs, eight runs scored, and one stolen base so far this season. Over the past two weeks, Kepler has a league-best batting average of .432, but he has walked more times (seven) than he has struck out (four).
I understand his overall numbers aren’t that impressive, but he’s been out for a while with an injury and has only played 20 games. That means his sample size is small and he’s unlikely to continue hitting this well (he’s a career .235 hitter), but if you have a roster spot to play, It might be good to bet on Kepler and see if he’s likely to stay hot for a while.
Oakland is another sparsely owned fantasy player that has been gaining traction lately. He owns only 16% of the league.
This season, Toro had a batting average of .284, an OBP of .339, three home runs, 13 RBIs, 15 runs scored, and one stolen base. Toro has had 15 hits over the past two weeks and has a batting average of .366.
Toro has been getting consistent playing time with the Athletics and is making the most of what he has done so far. He’s a career .216 hitter, so his numbers will likely drop at some point, but it would be a good idea to take advantage of his strong form.
The Cubs have been a on-base machine in recent weeks. He is hitting .450 with a .298 average in 60 at-bats.
Currently owned by 28% of the league, Tauchman has a season batting average of .278 and an OBP of .412. He had three home runs, 10 RBIs, 21 runs scored, and also stole two bases.
It’s a pretty solid fantasy piece overall, and his own percentages don’t reflect that. Tauchman isn’t in FantasySP’s top 400 draft picks, but he is ahead of a ton of players that were on that list. I see him as a strong backup fantasy outfielder who could be in the starting lineup while he’s at bat.
Also worth noting is Tauchman’s return from injured reserve, which could make it difficult for Tauchman to be in the lineup. Bellinger became the team’s designated hitter in his first game back, while Tauschman batted second and played right field. We’ll have to wait and see how things play out over time, but Tauchman has hit well enough to be a gamble.
