Jonathan Villar (2B/OF, MIL) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 44% of leagues

ANALYSIS: Milwaukee Brewers outfielder/second baseman Jonathan Villar, of course, was one of the 2017 season’s biggest disappointments. A year after hitting 19 home runs and pacing the league with 62 stolen bases, his totals in those categories dropped to 11 and 23, respectively.

Villar has eight extra-base hits over the last month, hitting .284 with 11 RBI and 12 runs scored. While a .373 BABIP could be seen as unsustainable, he does also have a 45.5% hard hit ball rate over the last month as well as a 20% line drive rate.

In 2017, his batting average and run production similarly cratered and, as a result, he entered this season with minimal fantasy hype and an unsettled role on the crowded Brewers roster. While Villar still is not running nearly as much as he did during his breakout season, he has still chipped in eight steals, and three of his five home runs on the season have come in his last nine games.
