Carson Benge is the add of the morning — the Mets outfielder is slashing .412 over the last seven days with a .401 wOBA, his strikeout rate has been cut nearly in half (8.3% vs. 15.6% over 30 days), and he's still sitting at just 23% ownership. If you need outfield production, this is the window before it closes.
Today's Top Adds
Carson Benge (OF, NYM) — Add Now
Benge's seven-day line is impossible to ignore: .412 AVG, .401 wOBA, and a strikeout rate that's dropped from 15.6% over 30 days to just 8.3% in the last week. He's logging consistent at-bats (36 PA in 7 days) and making hard contact at a 38.3% clip with an 87.6 mph average exit velocity. The playing time is real, the approach has tightened, and at 23% rostered he's the kind of player who jumps to 45%+ by the weekend if the line holds. Don't wait for confirmation — the five-game sample is solid enough to act on, especially with this contact quality profile backing the batting average.
Watch List
Gabriel Moreno (C, AZ)
Moreno's wOBA has surged from .300 over 30 days to .420 in the last seven, paired with a .409 AVG, 47.0% hard-hit rate, and 90.9 mph exit velocity. He's trending up to 13% ownership and the strikeout rate has ticked down from 25.0% to 16.7%. The catcher position is a wasteland — if this holds another few days, he becomes a priority add over alternatives like Samuel Basallo, Dillon Dingler, or Shea Langeliers.
Erik Sabrowski (RP, CLE)
A 70.0% strikeout rate over seven days is absurd, even in a small relief sample. Sabrowski posted a 0.00 ERA with a 27.39 K/9 and a 0.93 FIP. The 30-day K rate was already an elite 55.3%, so this isn't coming out of nowhere. At 24% owned and trending up, he's the reliever to target if you need ratios and strikeouts.
Garrett Whitlock (RP, BOS)
Whitlock's K rate jumped from 26.8% to 40.0% over the past week with a 0.00 ERA, 12.0 K/9, and a minuscule 0.43 FIP. Still only 19% rostered. The underlying swing-and-miss uptick makes this more than a small-sample fluke — monitor for another outing to confirm.
Justin Foscue (1B/2B, TEX)
Foscue is a ghost at 0% ownership, which makes the .462 wOBA and .357 AVG over the last seven days all the more intriguing. A 58.3% hard-hit rate and 90.8 mph exit velocity show real quality of contact, and his walk rate has risen from 3.8% to 6.7%. The eligibility at both first and second base adds roster flexibility. This is the deepest-league stash on the board — if he keeps getting at-bats, he's a free lottery ticket.
Brad Keller (RP, PHI)
Keller's K rate spiked from 32.6% to 54.5% over the past week with an 18.0 K/9. The 3.00 ERA and 3.43 FIP suggest the results are close to matching the swing-and-miss gains. At 10% owned, he's a speculative add in deeper formats where reliever strikeouts carry value.
Didier Fuentes (SP/RP, ATL)
Fuentes logged 5.0 IP in the last seven days with a 33.3% K rate and 1.90 FIP. The dual eligibility and rotation-level workload make him interesting in leagues where starts are scarce. Only 8% rostered — worth a watch if Atlanta keeps stretching him out.
Fernando Cruz (RP, NYY)
A 0.00 ERA and 9.57 K/9 over the last seven days with a 2.25 FIP. Cruz's 29.4% K rate isn't flashy, but the zero runs allowed and solid peripherals in the Yankees bullpen make him a quiet contributor. Hold at 8% ownership for now.
Ian Seymour (SP/RP, TB)
Seymour's K rate has climbed from 26.4% to 35.7% over the last week. The early signal is intriguing for a Rays arm with dual eligibility, but the sample needs more development before committing a roster spot. Ownership at 8% gives you time.
Jeremiah Jackson (2B/3B/OF, BAL)
Jackson's ownership is actually cooling off (down 11% in seven days), but the underlying data tells a different story: a 79.3% hard-hit rate and 98.1 mph average exit velocity are elite-tier contact quality numbers. The .303 wOBA and .300 AVG don't scream must-add, but a 9.5% strikeout rate (down from 16.1%) combined with that exit velocity suggests the results are about to follow the batted-ball data. This is a buy-low the crowd is abandoning too early.
Stream of the Day
No streaming-specific signals emerged from today's data — the algorithm didn't flag any starters with favorable single-game matchups for the next few days. If you're hunting for a streaming arm, Emerson Hancock or Braxton Ashcraft are names to check matchups against, but neither triggered a signal today. Check back tomorrow for updated streaming picks.
Ownership Movers
Gabriel Moreno (+3% to 13%) — Completely justified. A .420 wOBA, 47.0% hard-hit rate, and 90.9 mph exit velocity at the catcher position should have him climbing faster. The market is slow to react here.
Erik Sabrowski (+2% to 24%) — Also justified. A 70.0% K rate and 0.93 FIP are the kind of numbers that should push a reliever well past 30% in competitive leagues. The ownership curve should steepen this week.
Carson Benge (23%, stable) — Surprising that seven days of a .401 wOBA and an 8.3% strikeout rate haven't moved the needle more. This feels like a lag that corrects quickly.
Justin Foscue (0%, stable) — A .462 wOBA and 58.3% hard-hit rate at 0% ownership is the definition of a market inefficiency. The question is playing time sustainability, but the bat is clearly alive.
Quick Hits
- Jeremiah Jackson's 98.1 mph average exit velocity is the highest among all players flagged today, yet his ownership dropped 11% in the past week. The market is selling when the batted-ball data says buy.
- Erik Sabrowski's 27.39 K/9 over the last seven days is a cartoonish number — even for a reliever in short stints, that level of dominance reflects genuine swing-and-miss stuff, not just sequencing luck.
- Garrett Whitlock's 0.43 FIP is the lowest among all pitchers flagged today, edging out Sabrowski's 0.93. If Boston gives him higher-leverage work, his value could spike fast at 19% ownership.
- Justin Foscue's 58.3% hard-hit rate leads all hitters in today's signals. Combined with 90.8 mph exit velocity and a .462 wOBA at literally 0% owned, he's the most under-the-radar bat on this board.
- Carson Benge's strikeout rate compression — from 15.6% to 8.3% — is the largest K-rate improvement among hitters today. When a hitter stops striking out and maintains a .401 wOBA, the approach change is usually sticky, not a fluke.
