David Peralta (OF, ARI) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10- and 12-Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 43% Yahoo!

ANALYSIS: After an injury-riddled 2016 campaign, David Peralta has returned to form in the early stages of 2017. Through 36 games played, the 29-year-old has slashed .319/.367/.489 with four homers and four steals. He is cemented into the two-hole of a Diamondbacks lineup that had produced the fourth-most runs in all of baseball, slotted in front of Paul Goldschmidt, Jake Lamb and Yasmany Tomas. Peralta has cut down on his strikeout rate (17.7 percent) and is hitting the ball harder than ever (37.3 percent). His ownership has crawled up above 40 percent, but a player with 15/15 potential and endless run-scoring opportunities is deserving of a roster spot in all but the shallowest of mixed leagues.
