Jake Bauers Emerging as Legit Bat in Brewers Lineup, Waiver Wire Value Rising Fast
Brewers first baseman Jake Bauers has cooled off slightly since his 12-game hitting streak came to an end on May 23, but his overall production remains highly encouraging. The 30-year-old is slashing .280/.351/.491 with nine home runs and continues to take a step forward offensively in his third season with Milwaukee. Bauers has been especially productive over his last 15 games, hitting .327 with a .564 slugging percentage while providing a steady mix of power and contact. His 22.6 percent strikeout rate is the lowest mark of his career and has helped fuel a more consistent offensive profile. With his previous career high sitting at 12 home runs, Bauers is well positioned to surpass that total. Fantasy managers should view him as a strong waiver wire target moving into June.
