Bag These Game-Changing Young Guns Off the Waiver Wire!
Got fantasy baseball blues? Fear not, we've scouted the diamond to find seven undervalued studs ready to turbocharge your lineup!
Meet the Orioles' latest marvel, Colton Cowser, smashing homers with the ease of a pro. He's torched the field going 6-for-13 with a jaw-dropping 10 RBI in just three days. And guess what? He's still ripe for the picking at 28% rostered. This hotshot is outshining Austin Hays and, with a killer Triple-A track record of .300/.417/.520, Cowser's power and speed have 'future fantasy staple' written all over him.
Michael Busch crash-lands in Chicago and the fantasy crowd roars! Escaping the crowded Dodgers, the 23% rostered Busch is already turning heads at the heart of the Cubs' order. Spring has sprung, and Busch's bat is blooming, planting 27 homers and 90 RBI last year in Triple-A! Position scarcity? More like golden opportunity with this guy, who's on the fast track to becoming a fan favorite and fantasy force.
Nelson Velázquez, the power prodigy of Kansas City, made the cut and is now serving up homers for dinner. His 16% ownership is a steal—this dude is revving up with two jacks and a barrage of hits. His smash factor? Off the charts. Velázquez's raw power makes other waiver options pale in comparison. Need a power surge? You won't find a juicier pick than this royal powerhouse.
Don't Sleep on These Rising Stars!
Brett Baty's making Mets fans believers, finally living up to the prospect hype. After a rookie season marred by a meager .212 average, he's kicked off 2024 on a tear, batting a stellar .311. This isn't just a fluke—he's got history crushing in the minors, promising hefty hitting with consistency. Got a 16% chance to snag him? Take it and witness the coming-of-age of a major hitting threat.
Joey Loperfido's primed to fill big shoes in Houston, with barely 1% in on the secret. While Astros fans fret over Abreu's slump, Loperfido's tearing it up in Triple-A with five blasts and a 1.004 OPS. Heads up: this kid's a double threat, with 25 homers and 27 swipes last season. Houston, we have a solution—get Loperfido before he blasts off and everyone's chasing his star.
Dean Kremer: The Orioles' striking sensation sidestepping under the radar with a stellar 0.73 WHIP. Just two starts in, but with 11 Ks already, Kremer's splitters are singing. A former minor-league strikeout titan, he could very well be the season-long silver bullet for your pitching woes. At 25% rostered, he's more steal than streamer, folks. Trust me, you'll want this Oriole in your nest.
The White Sox's closer with flair, Michael Kopech, reigns at 33% rostered. Forget about team records when you have a closer chucking thunderbolts and spinning sliders. With two saves under his belt striking out twelve in just over seven innings, Kopech's got the Midas touch in the ninth. Need a savior for your saves category? Go, get Kopech—before your rivals do.
