BALLER MOVE: Add in 15+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 33% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Owen Miller is a batting average machine who has also been racking up the counting stats as he leads off versus lefties and bats cleanup versus righties. The 26-year-old is one of the best contact hitters in baseball, and it's led to a .301 batting average to this point in the season. That average feels sustainable given Miller's stellar 17.6% K-rate and the fact he ranks in the 87th percentile in both whiff rate and sprint speed, per Statcast.

Normally, pure-contact hitters aren't huge fantasy assets, but Miller is an exception, given the lineup context that allows him to both score runs and drive them in while also stealing his share of bases. Toss in the friendly confines of Milwaukee's home ballpark (it's not Miller Park anymore, which feels wrong), and you've got a solid across-the-board fantasy contributor.
