BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 20% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Unlike Jake Burger, Jon Berti doesn't hit the ball out of the ballpark, but he gets on base and can occasionally nab you a few stolen bags. He was the stolen base leader in 2022, after all. Strangely, though, in a year where stolen base totals are up significantly, the 33-year-old has stolen just 11 this season.
Jon Berti has been the Marlins best hitter post All-Star break. Comes in clutch with an RBI single to drive in Garrett Hampson and move Yuli Gurriel to third.

Luckily, though, he's found other ways to contribute. He's reached base at a .435 clip and batted .381 in his last seven games for Miami. Across 15 games in July, he's doubled four times, tripled once, driven in five runs, and walked thrice. His recent play has helped to keep the Marlins in the NL wild-card race.
