BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues and NL-Only Leagues
OWNED IN: 23% Fleaflicker
ANALYSIS: The market for Brandon Drury is on fire this week, as it should be, considering he has been one of the strongest hitters in the league over the past few weeks. In his last 13 games with the Diamondbacks, Drury has gone 17-for-57 with five homers, eight RBI and ten runs scored. Plenty of waiver wire-level talents can clobber the ball for two weeks, only to fall back to Earth as soon as you pick them up. However, Drury has been hitting well all season long, even prior to this spectacular stretch. His season line is sitting at .316/.333/.621 with over 100 AB under his belt. The 23-year-old has been known to display power in the past. Between High-A and Double-A in 2014, 21-year-old Drury smacked 23 HR and recorded 95 RBI. The walk rate is a bit of a concern, as he has walked just three times on the year, compared to 21 strikeouts. However, his overall strikeout rate is quite modest for a young hitter, currently sitting at 19.6% on the year. This guy has some serious potential and must be owned in all formats.
