Jung Ho Kang (3B / SS, PIT) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 20% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: While Kang’s power hasn’t translated to the majors as much as the Pirates probably hoped, he’s having a fine rookie season. A barrage of hits since the break has lifted his overall slash line to a tidy .285/.363/.418. Even with the return of prodigal son Aramis Ramirez in a trade this week, Kang will continue to play every day as long as Jordy Mercer and Josh Harrison are out. Even after they return, he’s unlikely to lose much playing time – especially if he can keep up the hot hitting. He’s also eligible at shortstop, making him an even more useful fantasy asset.
