BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 53% of Yahoo Leagues
ANALYSIS: Though he has flashed limited power in his first few seasons, Ender Inciarte has already hit four home runs this season. This is due in part to a fly ball rate a full 10% above his career rate and thanks to the fact that he is pulling the ball more frequently. As is normally the case, there has been a strikeout penalty to go along with the increased power, as Inciarte’s swinging strike rate has nearly doubled from his career rate and his strikeout rate has followed suit. Still, his .208 average is likely to rise again as it is currently bogged down by a .218 BABIP. Twenty steals is also a strong possibility, as Inciarte is slotted in as the leadoff hitter and has already swiped two bases on the season. This all comes together to form a well-rounded fantasy contributor who will fit nicely in nearly any league format.
