Ronny Mauricio is a fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup for hitters heading into Week 24 (2023). Target Mauricio as a free agent shortstop on the waiver wire.
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 21% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: It finally happened; the Mets called up Ronny Mauricio. The 22-year-old top-prospect has been a fixture in the "Prospect Watch" section of this column since May, but Francisco Lindor has blocked him at shortstop. Mauricio has been playing second base and left field in Triple-A but was never promoted despite tearing up Triple-A while the Big League club sputtered all summer.
Across 116 games in Triple-A, Mauricio slashed .292/.346/.506 with 23 homers, 30 doubles, 24 stolen bases, 76 runs, and 71 RBI. Of course, other prospects have struggled with the jump from Triple-A to the majors, but other prospects don't have the raw power possessed by the 22-year-old future star.
Case in point, Mauricio went 2-for-3 in his MLB debut, including a 117.3 mph rocket. That hit doubled as his first MLB base hit and also represented the hardest-hit ball by any Met this season. He has as much upside as any prospect making his debut this September and could be a league-winner in fantasy.
