Wilin Rosario (C / 1B, COL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues / All Two-Catcher Leagues

OWNED IN: 38% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: It’s not often that multiple catchers from the same team can be fantasy relevant, but the Rockie’s fit that case this season. Along with Nick Hundley as their starter, Wilin Rosario is their starting first basemen and is catcher eligible in the majority of fantasy leagues. Rosario is currently riding a nice three game multi-hit streak in his starts, during which he clobbered one home run, and racked up three RBI to go with his three runs.

Rosario’s season slash line now sits at .299/.315/.480 and he’s currently ranked as the 16th fantasy catcher in standard leagues. It should be noted that Rosario wasn’t starting nearly as often early in the season, and did miss some time in late April to early May. The Rockies are near the top of almost every offensive statistic, and being surrounded by the likes of Carlos Gonzalez, Troy Tulowitzki, and Nolan Arenado doesn’t hurt either. Rosario c0uld easily creep into the top ten fantasy catchers by the end of the season.
