Jonatan Clase is a fantasy baseball waiver wire stash for Week 9 (2024). Target Jonatan Clase as a top prospect free-agent waiver wire pickup for steals in fantasy baseball.
BALLER MOVE: Stash in Deeper Leagues
CALL-UP ETA: June-July
ANALYSIS: Jonatan Clase is a speed specialist, stealing 55 bases at Single-A in 2022 and another 79 between High-A and Double-A in 2023. He doesn't hit for a high batting average, with a career .253 BA over 1078 minor league at-bats, but you can't steal that many bases without getting on base. The switch-hitter does that by having patience at the plate, tallying no less than a 13.0% walk rate at Single-A or higher in the minors.
The 21-year-old earned a promotion to the majors on April 15 but was unable to replicate that success at the big league level, walking just twice over his 28 MLB plate appearances (3.6%) while striking out nine times (32.1%). The speedster stole a pair of bases while with the Mariners. On April 29 Clase was optioned back to Triple-A and after initially struggling, he's caught fire over the last seven games, hitting .370 (10-for-27) with two doubles, a triple, two home runs, a 6:4 BB:K, and three stolen bases.

If Clase can keep it up he should find himself back in Seattle sooner rather than later. A late June to early July recall is possible, especially if a first place Seattle team wants to spark an offense that is ranked fifth-worst in runs scored this season. Clase is available in nearly all Yahoo leagues for managers that want to stash a hitter that could make a significant impact in the stolen base category over the second-half of the season.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: Painter's last two starts don't give a ton of confidence that he is ready to be in the majors. It may not even be before the All-Star break before we see him, but that does not mean we are in stash territory. The good news is, […]
