Ketel Marte (SS, SEA) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Mixed Leagues, AL-Only Leagues

OWNED IN: 10% Fleaflicker

ANALYSIS: Ketel Marte’s average sat at just .188 on April 21, but he has gone 9-for-20 with seven runs scored and a stolen base over his last five games. His slash line now shows .265/.301/.309, and at 22 years old, he should only improve as his first full season in the Majors progresses. Marte is a solid hitter with decent speed, and can help fantasy owners in any format in all non-power categories, especially considering he hits at the top of the order for a Mariners team that has put 40 runs on the board over its last six games. Fantasy owners should ignore the slow start and take a chance on a young hitter with 30 SB potential and a career .290/.330/.370 slash line in the minors.
