Ryon Healy (1B/3B, SEA) - Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 38% of leagues

ANALYSIS: Seattle Mariners corner infielder Ryon Healy is well-known for his streaky performance and had a spell of good production this past week. He hit three homers and drove in 12 with a .429 batting average. Do not get too excited about the average. Healy provides one thing for your team, power in spurts.

He does not even offer value in OBP leagues with a lowly 3.6% walk rate. He strikes out often enough (22.9%), but, unfortunately, it stems from a 12.1% swinging strikes and 37.1% swing rate outside the zone. If you have the option of picking your battles with Healy, play him against right-handed pitchers as he has a .253 average against them, compared to a .229 batting average against lefties. Thankfully, he faces off against at least four right-handers this week when the Mariners take on the Astros and Blue Jays at home.
