BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 43% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Jack Suwinski has been highlighted on this list several times throughout the 2023 campaign, and he continues to trend in the right direction. He's slashing .226/.348/.502 with 20 home runs and seven stolen bases. Suwinski's batting average isn't likely to improve much, but he gets on base consistently, thanks to an elite 14.9% walk rate. The Pirates have recently elevated Suwinski into a leadoff batting role, and he should feature prominently in their lineup through the rest of the season.

A .221 xBA and 32.9% strikeout rate underscore the downside to Suwinski's offensive approach, though the underlying numbers do more to bolster his ceiling. Suwinski carries an impressive .530 xSLG, alongside similarly great numbers, like a .376 xwOBA, 50.9% hard-hit rate, 92.1 MPH average exit velocity, and 19.3% barrel rate. He's also demonstrated fantastic plate discipline, chasing pitches out of the zone at a minuscule 16.3% rate. Suwinski should remain one of the league's premier power hitters.
