BALLER MOVE: Add in all leagues
OWNED IN: 49% of Fleaflicker leagues
EXPERT ANALYSIS: Jake Lamb has been very good this season as he's posted an impressive .270/.350/.524 slash line that has helped contribute to 28 runs scored, 10 home runs, 31 RBI and three stolen bases. Despite all of these numbers, Lamb is still available in more than half of all Fleaflicker leagues. If you need help at 3B, CI or UT and Lamb is available, you should think about adding the 25-year-old third baseman.
The most intriguing numbers for Lamb thus far are his 10.3 BB%, his 21.5 K% and his .254 ISO. His walk percentage is up more than 1% while his strikeout rate is down 3.4% from last season. Meanwhile, his ISO has nearly doubled from the .123 he posted last season. While Lamb's HR/FB ratio of 22.27% is likely to come down, it is aided by the fact that Lamb is making soft contact less, medium contact much fewer and hard contact much more often than he has in past seasons. He's not yet in his power prime, but he's still managed to take strides forward in that department.
