James Tibbs III Homers, Remains a Top Stash Option as Strong Season Continues
Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect James Tibbs III broke a 21-game homerless drought on Tuesday in a 2-for-6 day at the plate, belting his 12th home run of the season. As has been the case this year, his big power comes with a lot of swing-and-miss, with the Dodgers' 10th-ranked prospect striking out in three of his six at-bats. A strong walk rate has helped to offset that this year, and the result is a .316/.422/.606 slash line with a 15.2 percent walk rate, 25.2 percent strikeout rate, a .449 wOBA, and a 158 wRC+. His 16 doubles and 50 runs scored both lead the Pacific Coast League. It seems a big league debut would be in order with everything he's done at Triple-A this year, but right now, he's not on the 40-man roster, and there is no opening in the outfield on the majors roster. Still, with the groove he is in at the plate, the 23-year-old remains one of the top hitters to stash in fantasy leagues with a debut likely to happen later this season.
