Austin Hedges (C, SDP) - Week 21 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 35% of leagues

ANALYSIS: Despite going hitless in each of the last five games, Austin Hedges still ranks as top-five catcher in standard leagues over the past month. He's hit .253 with five home runs, three stolen bases, and 19 R+BI in 22 games during that time.

Hedges finished tied for eighth among catchers in home runs (18) as a rookie last year, but his lousy .214 batting average and tepid run production kept him from adding much value to fantasy rosters. If he continues to see the majority of the playing time behind the plate for San Diego, Hedges will be worth owning down the stretch in plenty of formats.
