Orlando Arcia is a fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup for hitters heading into Week 12 (2023). Target Arcia as a free agent second baseman, shortstop, or outfielder on the waiver wire.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 47% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: It feels like Orlando Arcia has been around forever, mostly because he broke in as a 21-year-old in 2016. For most of his major league career, he's been an afterthought in fantasy. Not this season; Arcia is finally getting everyday at-bats in an elite lineup, and he's making the most of it in his age-28 season.
The Orlando Arcia story is unbelievable.

The Braves' primary shortstop is batting .324 with a .480 slugging percentage with 22 runs and 19 RBI through 42 games. Better yet, his underlying metrics fully support his breakout. Arcia's 44.5% hard-hit rate is a career-high, his 18% K rate is his best mark since 2020, and his .375 wOBA is in the top-10th percentile in all of baseball. With multi-position eligibility, most fantasy leagues have a manager in need of Arcia's services.
