Chase Meidroth a Priority Target Off the Waiver Wire
Chicago White Sox second baseman Chase Meidroth has quietly put together a solid season thus far, slashing .274/.344/.390 with five home runs, two stolen bases, 40 runs, and 21 RBI. He is in the top 16 overall in MLB in hits and runs and has demonstrated strong plate discipline metrics, as evidenced by his 26.4 percent chase rate (69th percentile), 19.8 percent whiff rate (74th percentile), and 22.2 percent strikeout rate (42nd percentile). While none of those numbers pop off the charts, they are consistent, and he is seeing every day playing time for the White Sox, who are competing this year (34-31), and Meidroth is batting in the middle of the lineup (fifth), which should continue to produce run-scoring opportunities. Meidroth, who was a former fourth-round pick in 2022, doesn't profile as a player with incredible upside, but his situation and plate discipline have made him into a reliable fantasy asset that fantasy managers should consider at the middle infield position.
