Mark Trumbo (OF, BAL) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 24% of leagues

ANALYSIS: Baltimore Orioles outfielder Mark Trumbo has only been back in the lineup since the beginning of May, but has been on fire of late, posting a .304 average over the last month. He had two home runs and seven doubles in May, posting eight RBI and 10 runs scored.

A troubling trend for Trumbo is that he has struck out in 25% plate appearances and walked in just 3.1% plate appearances. He also has a .391 BABIP this season, but he has a 30.9% line drive rate and 44.1% hard hit ball rate, showing that his high average is supported. Trumbo has hit 47.1% ground balls this season, and only goes to the opposite field in 19.1% of plate appearances, but his batted ball profile is very impressive.

Trumbo does not normally hit 20% fly balls (22.1% this season), so fantasy owners should expect more home runs when he adds more loft to his swing. His elevated batting average is good, though, and his line drive rate should lead to a good amount of doubles as well.
