The early part of the fantasy season is all about grabbing hot bats and breakout arms before the rest of your league wakes up. Here are five under-the-radar pickups who can make an impact right now.
1. Wilyer Abreu (OF – BOS)
The Red Sox outfielder is showing plate discipline and sneaky pop. With consistent playing time, he’s becoming a legit source of OBP and runs—especially in points or OBP formats.
2. Jordan Hicks (SP – SF)
What started as a bullpen conversion project is now looking like a legit starter breakout. If he’s still available, scoop him ASAP.
3. Casey Mize (SP – DET)
Mize impressed with back-to-back dominant starts earning wins and showing quality starts. He has become a worthy addition to fantasy rosters
4. Michael Busch (1B/3B – CHC)
Getting regular ABs and showing real power. He’s one of the best low-rostered sources of homers and RBI out there right now.
5. Jose Soriano (SP – LAA)
A hard-throwing righty who’s getting more starts and missing bats. He’s raw, but the stuff is there—and the Angels need innings.
It’s important to shape your roster early. Don’t get too attached to your late-round picks. It’s important to win the long game.
