Heston Kjerstad- Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Adds

BALLER MOVE: Add in Five Outfielder 12-Team Leagues/AL-only

ROSTERED IN: 29% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: Baltimore Orioles outfield prospect Heston Kjerstad is absolutely mashing the ball in Triple-A and is well worth stashing in deeper and AL-only formats for now.

The former Arkansas Razorback got a small taste of the majors last season, posting a modest .233/.281/.467 stat line and two home runs in 33 plate appearances. A look under the hood suggested that even in his small sample size in the majors, Kjerstad had a 20% barrel rate, 55% hard-hit rate, and .551xSLG, which would have placed him among the top hitters in the game. 

Kjerstad is currently boasting an incredible .409/.471/.909 stat line with the Norfolk Tides. The No. 4 prospect in the Baltimore pipeline has already hit six home runs and 25 RBI in just 10 games, showcasing his elite potential.

Kjerstad is a difficult player to stash in shallow formats, especially 10-team formats, because it is unknown when he will receive the call-up to the big leagues. Unfortunately, his video-game-esque numbers in Triple-A have still not been enough to warrant a promotion, but it should be sooner rather than later.

The Orioles have a very deep outfield, but whenever Kjerstad is called upon, he will be a popular waiver-wire target, especially because of his power potential. In deeper formats, it is important to get ahead of your league mates, especially when it comes to prospects.
