Johan Camargo (2B/3B/SS, ATL) - Week 23 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 38% of leagues

ANALYSIS: It is anyone's guess who is more surprised, the Braves organization or fantasy baseball managers. Johan Camargo has been a revelation this season. His performance hasn’t been one that single-handedly carries your team to a championship, but he definitely is a contributing factor. Camargo has a slash line of .278/.357/.463 with 15 HR and 64 RBI. He has accomplished this with a 37% hard-hit rate despite a 45% ground ball rate.

The second half is where Camargo has made most of his improvements. His batting average has increased to .324 during that time. Also, not known for being a power hitter, he has a .203 ISO in the second half thus far. Camargo has better plate discipline and is using the whole field. He dropped his pull rate (36%) as well. Camargo will look to carry his recent success the last two weeks (two HR, seven RBI, and .367 AVG) into a home matchup against the Red Sox. The Braves then travel to Chase Field for a four-game series against the Diamondbacks.
