BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues
OWNED IN: 34% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Miami Marlins utility player Derek Dietrich has five multi-hit games in his last 10 and has a .362 batting average in June. Dietrich has nine extra-base hits, including four home runs this month, and has a strong .609 slugging percentage in June.
On a smaller sample size, Dietrich has four extra-base hits in the last three games, driving in eight runs this month and scoring 12. A .438 BABIP this month would lead many to believe that this strong run of play is unsustainable, but his soft hit ball rate is only 11.3% this month. While his .438 BABIP is not likely to stay that way, he does have a 34.6% line drive rate this month and well hit line drives usually lead to hits.
On top of his good numbers, Dietrich is eligible all over the infield and in the outfield, a key addition for any fantasy team. Roster flexibility is key for any owner and the fact that Dietrich can fill gaps all over the field makes him a worthy addition in all formats.
