BALLER MOVE: Add in 15+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 4% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Jesus Sanchez has been featured several times in this article over the past couple of months. He's routinely underperformed his advanced metrics, but he's catching fire again lately. Sanchez has hit safely in eight of his past nine starts, recording three multi-hit games and three home runs during that span. Overall, he's up to a .262/.320/.487 slash line with nine home runs. The consistency has not been there, but given his upside, Sanchez is among the most undervalued outfield fantasy assets.

As a jumping-off point, Sanchez sports a deadly .283 xBA and .515 xSLG combo. That includes a .367 xwOBA, 49.3% hard-hit rate, 13.4% barrel rate, and 91.3 MPH average exit velocity. He strikes out at a gratuitous 26.3% rate, but his batting profile is otherwise strong. Sanchez may be on the verge of a hot streak, and if he takes off, don't anticipate seeing him remain in single-digit ownership.
