Mickey Moniak is a fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup for hitters heading into Week 10 (2023). Target Moniak as a free agent outfielder on the waiver wire.
ANALYSIS: Mickey Moniak was highlighted here last week, and his ownership has grown exponentially in the time since. Based on his current trajectory, I suspect another significant ownership leap by this time next week. Through 10 games, Moniak is slashing .419/.438/.935 with four home runs, one triple, two doubles, and two stolen bases. He appears entrenched as the Angels' new leadoff hitter against right-handed pitchers, and Moniak will continue to get opportunities if he remains productive.
2023 is a brief sample size, but we've always known Moniak carried unlocked potential. He was the first-overall draft pick in 2016 and received his first taste of the majors in 2020. Prior to this season, Moniak struggled to find any success at the MLB level across three short-lived major-league stints. That said, he has consistently dominated minor-league pitching, and it would not be a huge surprise if Moniak has finally figured out how to stick around in the majors.
