Brandon Belt is a fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup for Week 25 of the 2021 MLB season. Consider adding the 1B/OF if he's a free agent in your leagues.
BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 12+ teams
ROSTERED IN: 30% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Brandon Belt has had an interesting 2021 season. He got off to a sluggish start following offseason heel surgery and a battle with COVID-19. He then dealt with an oblique strain in late May, which required a stint on the injured list. He came back in early June but then hit the IL again with right knee inflammation, which kept him out for nearly a month and a half. Despite all of that adversity, he's slugged a career-high 21 home runs. The 33-year-old first baseman is slashing .250/.353/.537 with 21 bombs, 43 RBI, and three stolen bases in just 268 at-bats. He's rocking a .320/.382/.600 batting line with four homers, six RBI, and 1o runs scored over the last 12 games as well. He's sold out more power this season, as evidenced by his career-worst 28.8% Strikeout Rate and 71.8% Z-Contact Rate. He's traded some of his signature plate discipline for more pop and the gamble appears to have paid off with an Average Launch Angle of 22.7 degrees and a 15.1% Barrel Rate.
