BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 24% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Adbert Alzolay got a bit of sleeper love this spring, but even with his rostered rate doubling in the last couple of days, he remains available to add in three-quarters of Yahoo leagues.
The 26-year-old has struck out 36 batters while walking only seven in 32 innings. That stinginess with free passes has helped him to a tidy 0.88 WHIP, but his ERA is a much less inspiring 4.50 thanks to some difficult keeping the ball in the yard. Estimators are split - SIERA loves him (3.21), while FIP (4.13) and xERA (3.94) paint a less rosy picture. Alzolay has benefited from some batted ball luck, as evidenced by a .208 BABIP, but he has also suffered from a strand rate below 65%.
He'll need to do a better job of limiting hard contact going forward to counteract the inevitable BABIP regression, but Alzolay's ability to miss bats and limit walks makes him an intriguing option in most formats.
