Josh Jung Can Be An Elite Contact Contributor
Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung is a great option on the waiver wire if you're looking for a consistent contact option from the hot corner. The 28-year-old righty has dramatically slashed his K% from 25.2% last year to 16.1% this year, while his batting average has jumped from .251 in 2025 to .302 in his first 67 games this season. His hard-hit rate and barrel rate have actually dipped a little bit, but he's putting the ball in play and making things happen from a premium run-production spot near the top of the order. Jung has eight homers to go with his 32 runs scored, 30 RBI, and his .360 wOBA. He has been especially effective at home, but wherever he has played, he has been solid enough to help fill in your roster if you need batting average and run production over pure power.
