Louie Varland is a fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup for pitchers heading into Week 9 (2023). Target Varland as a free agent pitcher on the waiver wire.
BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues
ROSTERED IN: 30% of leagues
ANALYSIS:
Varland is going to be the new guy I'm banging the drum for every week here until he gets over 50% rostered. Check out what he's done so far this year:
Varland Game Logs
Date | Pitches | Whiffs | SO | BB |
5/14 | 97 | 16 | 7 | 1 |
5/9 | 95 | 14 | 6 | 2 |
5/3 | 87 | 15 | 6 | 2 |
4/14 | 83 | 12 | 8 | 1 |
Double-digit whiffs every time out and a nice 27:6 K:BB ratio. His pitch mix is sweet with a four-seamer, a cutter, a changeup, and a slider all serving different purposes and performing well. He also passes the eye test when you watch him.
My man needs to be rostered in more leagues! Go get him!
