BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 14% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Mickey Moniak continues to mash when given the opportunity. Through 37 games, he's slashing .310/.341/.651 with 10 home runs and a 168 wRC+. Playing time has been uncertain since Moniak was called up earlier this season, and he's largely served as a strong-side platoon player. However, with Mike Trout sidelined for the next two months and the Angels starved for consistent offensive production, Moniak figures to be a near-everyday player for the foreseeable future.

Though Moniak strikes out plenty and rarely walks, he's absolutely launching the ball when he does manage to put it in play. Moniak sports an outstanding .539 xSLG and 16.7% barrel rate. Angel Stadium is also a very supportive environment for left-handed hitting power, further bolstering Moniak's power upside. There's likely some negative regression in his game, but Moniak should remain a worthwhile fantasy asset.
