BALLER MOVE: Add in 15+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 3% of leagues
ANALYSIS: If you follow my takes, you know I love college lefties from schools like Dallas Baptist, niche relievers, and late-round draft picks. 28-year-old Tampa Bay RP Colin Poche satisfies all of the above criteria. The Columbus, Ohio native was a 14th-round selection in 2016 and exceeded rookie status back in 2019, but Tommy John surgery has kept him out from then until this year.

He has also held opponents to a mere 5.4% XBH rate off of an 84.8% average exit velocity and just 19.5% hard contact on batted balls, making very efficient use of his fastball-slider combo. The Rays sit at second place in the AL East with a 27-19 record, and even among a great class of relief arms, Poche has outperformed every teammate except for righty Jason Adam. Being on a tear with a team that will provide plenty of chances for saves/holds, Colin Poche should be on Fantasy Manager radars for those in deeper formats.
