BALLER MOVE: Add in 15+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 6% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Matt Vierling has been a rare bright spot in a largely disappointing Detroit Tigers offense. He carries a strong .284/.346/.427 slash line with seven home runs and a 118 wRC+. It's been a breakout campaign for the 26-year-old, and the Tigers have rewarded his performance with an elevated role in their batting order. Vierling is typically hitting leadoff against southpaws and drawing starts in the heart of the order against right-handed pitchers, even with the return of Riley Greene.

The advanced stats look good for Vierling, too. He sports a .281 xBA alongside similarly impressive numbers, like a .342 xwOBA, .435 xSLG, 44.3% hard-hit rate, 90.5 mph average exit velocity, 18.5% strikeout rate, and 17.1% whiff rate. Vierling's ceiling isn't as high as some featured on this list, but his production is consistent.
