CJ Abrams (2B/SS, WAS) - Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 16

CJ Abrams - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, MLB Injury News

BALLER MOVE: Add in 15+ Team Leagues

ROSTERED IN: 23% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: Breakouts don't always happen instantaneously, just look at CJ Abrams. The former sixth-overall pick hasn't lived up to the hype thus far in the majors, but if we look under the hood, we find a very enticing skill set for fantasy. First of all, Abrams can fly. He's got 12 steals in 14 attempts and ranks in the top fifth of the league in sprint speed. But we knew that.

 

What's more encouraging is his year-over-year improvements at the plate. All of last season, Abrams had 238 batted balls and only five were classified as a barreled-ball by StatCast. This season, in only 205 batted balls, he's got 12 barrels. Beyond barrels, his hard-hit rate overall its up six percent, he raised his average launch angle, and his max exit velocity is three MPH higher than any ball he hit last season. That's translated into a .315/.383/.500 slash line over his last 16 games and placed him squarely in the mixed-league conversation in fantasy.

Robert Gasser - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Robert Gasser, SP, Milwaukee Brewers ANALYSIS: Over his last three starts, Robert Gasser has dominated to the tune of a 2.00 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, and 41.4% strikeout rate. Neither Wade Miley nor Adrian Houser are pitching poorly enough to lose their rotation spot, but Gasser should be the next man up if Milwaukee needs another starter down the... Read More
