Ryan Noda is a fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup for hitters heading into Week 13 (2023). Target Noda as a free agent first baseman or outfielder on the waiver wire.
ANALYSIS: In a largely subpar Oakland lineup, Ryan Noda continues to produce, hitting from the two-hole. He's carrying an impressive .838 OPS with seven home runs and 13 doubles through 67 games played. Though he wasn't a particularly heralded prospect before this season, Noda produced back-to-back 25-plus home run campaigns in the minors over the last two years. His production isn't a big surprise.
Ryan Noda has been a sneaky-good player this season, especially in OBP formats.
Noda's underlying numbers suggest he can continue to perform. He sports a strong .360 xwOBA, 91.6 mph average exit velocity, 46.1% hard-hit rate, and 13.9% barrel rate. Noda's .220 xBA tells us he's unlikely to see a big batting average spike, but his plate discipline more than compensates for it. Noda ranks second among all hitters with an outstanding 19.4% walk rate.
