3 years agoCincinnati Reds outfielder Jesse Winker had a big night in a 7-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday. Winker went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a homer, and two RBI in the loss. The veteran outfielder is off to an excellent start in 2021, hitting a robust .374 with seven homers, 10 doubles, 24 runs, and 19 RBI in 107 at-bats. The early success is backed by excellent advanced metrics, with Winker ranking in the top 7% of the league in expected batting average while also ranking in the 85th percentile in barrel percentage and the 88th percentile in hard-hit rate. Fantasy gamers should consider keeping Winker locked into those starting lineups until he cools down.--Matt T - RotoBaller
