Jhonkensy Noel is a fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup for Week 14 (2024). Target Jhonkensy Noel as a top prospect free-agent add for fantasy baseball.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 15+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 6% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: The Cleveland Guardians unleashed one of their secret weapons on Wednesday night as they activated and started first baseman Jhonkensy Noel.
He wasted no time making the most of his first start. The 6-foot-3, 250-pound Noel smashed a high fastball over the center field fence in first career at-bat for a solo home run.
First big league at-bat, first big league homer for Jhonkensy Noel!

Noel was raking at Triple-A Columbus, hitting .295 with 18 home runs and 59 RBI. He has shown power throughout his minor league career but had struggled with contact in his first season and a half at the Triple-A level.
Strikeouts are still a concern, but the power he has shown is tremendous. The Guardians have Josh Naylor firmly entrenched at first base, but Noel could end up platooning there against left-handers and has played third base and both corner infield spots in the minors as well.
As long as he hits, I think there will be a spot for him on the roster. He's absolutely worth an add in deep leagues as he could be a really cheap source of home runs if he can stick in the lineup for Cleveland.
