He’s sure to play more this year than ever, and his walk rate has bounced back (although is still no hell). At the very least, Moniak can help you in deep leagues and offer some upside potential (within reason; he’s unlikely to ever come close to living up to his draft spot) for the home stretch.

After showing such potential in his first few seasons, Stephenson has struggled to hit for average since 2023, but his power is spiking now with five bombs already this month. Raw power was always his calling card as a prospect, so this isn’t a massive shock, but as a bonus, he’s heading for a career high in runs.

His velocity increased dramatically this season giving him a heater capable of touching 97 to pair with a strong changeup and a breaking ball he’s capable of controlling well. Mayfield’s smooth delivery really made him stand out among high school arms available in this draft, so he’s someone worth stashing in leagues that allow you to hold players for a few years.

He teased us with big time pop as a rookie (including a three-homer game) and then built on that last year with 26 jacks while hitting better, but this season has seen huge regression as he’s slugged just .330 through half a season, hitting rock bottom in June (490 OPS). The good news? Suwinski has really turned things around this month with a 913 OPS including a .600 SLG despite a couple of quiet days recently. This is another young outfielder with upside worth a roll of the dice.
