Baller Move: Add in 12+ team leagues

Owned in: 7% of Fleaflicker leagues

Analysis: John Jaso is quite appealing in terms of BA and OBP, with his current figures sitting at .279 and .350 this season. Jaso has had very average power hitting, but his consistency and precision at the plate has been hard to ignore; with a very sustainable BABIP of .298 at the moment and a 1.55 GB/FB ratio, Jaso has found steady success this year by slapping the ball through the infield. A big key here with Jaso is that he is striking out significantly less, with a current K-rate of just 11.7%. It is easy to accumulate a lot of hits on ground balls and walks when you strike out half as much as the average MLB player. Combined with BA/OBP splits of .277/.346 against RHP and .303/.365 in away games, John Jaso is a widely available player who can out a surge into any team's BA, OBP, and comes without the risk of heavy strikeouts.
