Dalton Pompey (OF, TOR) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues

OWNED IN: 26% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: Though the numbers came almost entirely in the low minors, a glance at Pompey’s performance reveals a lot to like. The 22 year old has shown impressive plate discipline, the ability to hit for average, and excellent speed. It’s primarily for the latter that many owners took a late-round flier on him, but hitting in what figures to be a high-scoring Toronto lineup should boost his runs scored as well. ZiPS forecasts Pompey for a .638 OPS, but also 10 homers and 27 steals in 574 PA. The steals seem a bit low, given that he swiped 90 bags over the previous two seasons. He’s scuffled a bit so far with a .BA/.OBP/.SLG through games, albeit with two homers and two doubles to his credit.
