Spencer Horwitz Swinging a Hot Bat, Entering Must-Add Territory?
Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Spencer Horwitz is putting together a productive season and remains a strong waiver wire target for managers needing corner infield help. The 28-year-old is hitting .289 with a .389 OBP and .858 OPS in 173 at-bats, showing excellent plate discipline with a low strikeout rate and strong walk rate. He's been especially hot in May, hitting safely in 17 of his last 21 games at one point, and has already chipped in seven home runs on the season. Horwitz has earned an everyday role in the Pittsburgh lineup, playing first base and typically batting leadoff against right-handed pitching. He's still available in a large percentage of leagues and offers a nice blend of average, on-base skills, and emerging power. If you're looking for a steady, high-floor option at corner infield, Horwitz is worth picking up.
