Is Cole Young Still Worth Targeting on the Waiver Wire Amidst Current Cold Streak?
Across 196 plate appearances so far this season, Seattle Mariners second baseman Cole Young has hit .240/.316/.349 with three home runs, 26 RBI, 20 runs scored, and two stolen bases. The 22-year-old has taken over as the everyday second baseman in Seattle and is providing stellar defense, which should keep his playing time secure. However, after posting a .777 OPS through the end of April, Young has come crashing back down to earth in May. Across 70 plate appearances so far this month, Young is hitting .159/.243/.222 with a 25.7% strikeout rate. Despite Young's struggles, his .254 xBA and .400 xSLG suggest he's run into some tough luck at the plate. While Young may not stand out in any one fantasy category, he could provide value as an accumulator once he pulls out of his current skid. In deeper leagues, Young could be a worthy buy-low target on the waiver wire.
