Nick Hundley (C, COL) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues / All Two-Catcher Leagues

OWNED IN: 34% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: The Rockie’s seem to have a surplus of good offensive backstops, and their starter is Nick Hundley. He’s been on a nice little streak recently, bringing his season slash line up to .304/.349/.464. In the last seven games in which he’s started, Hundley has raked in eleven hits, one homerun, six RBI, and five runs. That was Hundley’s sixth homerun of the year to go with his 27 runs and 26 RBI.

Hundley is currently ranked as the seventh best catcher for fantasy purposes, and his current pace is fairly sustainable. His .368 BABIP compared to his career .300 means regression is to be expected, but all the other stats are in line with is career averages. The Rockies are near the top of almost every offensive statistic, and batting behind Carlos Gonzalez and Nolan Arenado doesn’t hurt either. Hundley should remain a top ten fantasy catcher for the remainder of the season.
