Leonys Martin (OF, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues

OWNED IN: 26% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: Leonys Martin had already surpassed his career high of eight home runs by May 24th. He wasn't done yet, however, as he is up to 11 HR on the season to go along with nine stolen bases. Rather than a pure speedster, Martin is now proving to be a double-threat and should finish with a 20/20 season, barring a huge collapse. Martin's .758 OPS is a big jump from his career average of .679. The main reasons are an increased walk rate (8.2% vs. 6.3% career) and decreased GB/FB ratio (0.72 vs 1.02 career). His 15.9% HR/FB% is way up as well, and still stands to see a regression. His power has slowed down lately, with only two homers this past month, but Martin is still reaching base at a high rate. He is hitting .333 over the last week and remains a valuable fantasy asset. While Martin surely won't match his first-half numbers after the All-Star break, he is contributing across all categories and can help owners in mixed leagues everywhere.
