Rece Hinds is a fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup for Week 17 (2024). Target Rece Hinds as a top prospect free-agent add for fantasy baseball.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 46% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Arguably no prospect has made a bigger splash upon their arrival to the big leagues this season than Cincinnati Reds outfielder Rece Hinds.
The @Reds' Rece Hinds over his first 5 days in the majors:
9 hits, 7 XBH, 3 HR, 2 SB, 1 triple, 1 grand slam
The last MLB player to reach all of those numbers over any 5-day span was Willie Mays from May 12-16, 1958. pic.twitter.com/A2ea1kqh0K

Hinds has been unstoppable as he's hit safely in all five games, had multiple hits in three games, and homered three times while stealing two bases.
The 23-year-old was hitting just .216 at Triple-A Louisville this year before being called up with 126 strikeouts and is just a career .244 hitter in the minor leagues so to say this production was a bit unexpected might be an understatement.
The power has been there for Hinds as he's hit 60 home runs across 1200 minor league at-bats and he can run, too, and he swiped 20 bags at Double-A last season.

But the contact struggles should cause his numbers to regress sooner rather than later. He happened to come up at the perfect time as the Reds are facing some of the worst pitching in baseball (Marlins and Rockies) at their hitter-friendly home park. He's an add in all formats while he's this locked in, but the long-term prognosis is that he will eventually come back to Earth once he faces some better pitching.
