Ryon Healy (1B/3B, SEA) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 37% of leagues

ANALYSIS: Seattle Mariners infielder Ryon Healy had 25 home runs for the Athletics this season and, while he has dealt with ankle and hand injuries since coming to the Mariners, has six home runs in just 76 plate appearances this season. Healy has a career-best .548 slugging percentage this season, as he has added three doubles, and has 13 runs scored and 16 RBI this season.

Healy only has three walks (against 17 strikeouts) this season and only has a .289 OBP in 2018, dropping from a .302 in 2017 and .337 in 283 plate appearances in 2016. While it would be nice for Healy to be a complete player, he had 54 extra-base hits in 2017 and appears to be back to his slugging ways in 2018. His hard hit ball rate is up in 2018 (33.9% to 35.7%) and also has a career-best 39.3% fly ball rate, leading to a 27.3% HR/FB rate. While that rate is sure to normalize, good things normally happen if you are hitting more fly balls at a harder rate, particularly when you pull the ball 50% of the time like Healy.

Matchups against the Twins, Rangers, and Tigers next week are not particularly daunting for Healy and the Mariners, making him an even better streamer. When you combine a good schedule, strong batted ball numbers, and 1B/3B eligibility, Healy is a great waiver addition in deeper formats.
