Blake Sullivan profiles outfielder Ben Zobrist as a waiver wire pickup and add in Week 15 of the 2018 MLB season for his role as a utility player who is reliable.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 25% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Ben Zobrist has been taking advantage of his opportunity. With Kris Bryant on the disabled list, Zobrist has been moving all around the field and playing everyday. He still has value once Bryant is back, but his value is really high right now. Over 26 games in June, Zobrist hit .308. He was well balanced with 14 runs, 15 RBI and 15 walks. The benefit with him over other available players is that he's reliable and consistent.
Ben Zobrist has an above average .358 wOBA for the season. His slash line sits at .296/.389/.430, which is pretty good when compared to his career numbers. He has an extremely good 1.06 BB/K which means he walks more than he strikes out. That kind of discipline leads to production. That's exactly what you get with the veteran utility player. Ben Zobrist should be acquired in all 12+ team leagues.
