David Dahl (OF, COL) - Week 24 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 10% of leagues

ANALYSIS: Colorado Rockies outfielder David Dahl was not one of our better calls in the pre-season. We argued that, with health, Dahl would be a solid value on his draft position. Unfortunately, the “with health” part didn’t pan out. Once again,  Dahl succumbed to a variety of bumps and bruises, only playing in 58 games so far in 2018. Worse yet, the 24-year-old dealt with ineffectiveness when he was in the lineup, and his .264/.316/.494 season line with nine homers and five steals in 190 plate appearances leaves a lot to be desired.

All that said, the things that Dahl does well have not disappeared. His contact is impressive, and a .230 ISO represents a career major-league best. He rarely makes weak contact, and he’s actually making more contact than at any point of his time in the bigs. His spike in strikeout percentage can be attributed to a decline in his plate discipline, but his most recent stint in Colorado has shown an improvement there as well. The season long 26.3% looks bad, but that number has been steadily declining. The last week has shown what can happen when things go right, and the two dingers on 11 at-bats with a .273/.250/.909 is actually evidence of Dahl’s transformation into a legit masher. He’s got a tough week long slate, but if he’s getting to his power he could tilt a matchup in your direction. He’s a worthy add in even shallow leagues, and a must add in 14 teams or more.
