In 2021 when San Francisco won 107 games, the 29-year-old belted a career-high 18 home runs, along with 56 RBI and 33 walks. The Giants are hoping for the latter version of Wade Jr. in 2023, as he currently ranks in the 90th percentile in xSLG, 98th in xwOBA, 99th in chase rate, and 100th in BB%. It's important to note that he infrequently sees playing time against lefties but is still worth rostering in 12+ team leagues.
