Joey Ortiz is demolishing the ball at a 107.3 mph exit velocity over the past week with a 100% hard-hit rate, and he's sitting at just 2% ownership — that's the biggest gap between signal and roster rate in today's scan.

Today's Top Adds

Josh Jung (3B, TEX) — 40% Owned

Jung's strikeout rate has cratered from 25.0% over the last 30 days to just 7.1% in the past week. That's the kind of plate discipline shift that precedes breakout stretches. The exit velocity is sitting at a healthy 94.0 mph with a 60.0% hard-hit rate and a 130 wRC+, which tells you the quality of contact is already there even though the batting average (.154 over five games) hasn't caught up yet. The underlying metrics say this is a buy window — the surface stats will follow the contact quality. At 40% ownership, he's available in the majority of leagues, but that won't last if the strikeout suppression holds for another week.

Dylan Crews (OF, WSH) — 31% Owned

Crews is flashing the prospect pedigree that made him the No. 2 overall pick. His wOBA has surged to .404 over the past seven days, up sharply from .316 over 30 days, and he's pairing that with a 13.3% walk rate (up from 10.6%). The exit velocity of 94.7 mph with a 50.0% hard-hit rate shows real bat speed, and he's already chipped in a homer across five games. At 31% rostered, he's the kind of player who jumps to 50%+ after one big weekend series. Add now before the ownership spike prices you out.

Watch List

Joey Ortiz (3B/SS, MIL) — 2% Owned

The numbers here are absurd: .450 wOBA, 107.3 mph exit velocity, 100% hard-hit rate, and a walk rate that's exploded to 27.3% (up from 5.3% over 30 days). The strikeout rate ticked down to 18.2% from 19.7%. This is a five-game sample, so it's volatile, but a 107.3 mph EV with that kind of plate discipline warrants serious monitoring. If the walk rate stabilizes anywhere above 15%, he moves to must-add territory fast.

Miguel Andujar (3B/OF, SD) — 2% Owned

Zero strikeouts over the past week against a 9.6% rate over 30 days. Andujar's wOBA sits at .366 with a 95.7 mph exit velocity and 50% hard-hit rate. The contact-over-everything approach is working right now — watch whether the power metrics follow.

Nolan Schanuel (1B, LAA) — 10% Owned

Schanuel is hitting .364 over five games with a .377 wOBA, and his strikeout rate has been cut nearly in half — 7.7% over the past week versus 12.9% over 30 days. The 15.4% walk rate (up from 9.4%) shows elite pitch selection. The exit velocity of 87.8 mph and 40.0% hard-hit rate are the concern — he needs to drive the ball harder for the production to be sustainable. Monitor the EV trend closely.

Romy Gonzalez (1B/2B, BOS) — 2% Owned

The results aren't there yet — .000 AVG, .117 wOBA — but the process is intriguing. A 100% hard-hit rate with 103.5 mph exit velocity means Gonzalez is squaring the ball up and finding gloves. His strikeout rate dropped to 25.0% from 30.9%, and the walk rate nudged up. This is a pure BABIP regression candidate if the quality of contact continues.

Luke Raley (1B/OF, SEA) — 10% Owned

Raley's wOBA has jumped from .231 over 30 days to .360 in the last week, and the underlying data supports it: 100% hard-hit rate, 99.5 mph exit velocity, and a strikeout rate that plummeted from 28.0% to 12.5%. He added a homer in a small five-game window. If you need a power bat from the wire, he's trending the right direction.

Nicky Lopez (2B/3B/SS, TEX) — 1% Owned

Lopez is hitting .364 over his last five games with an 8.3% strikeout rate (down from 11.1%). The 90.7 mph exit velocity caps his ceiling, but the multi-position eligibility and contact-first profile could be useful in deeper formats needing a middle infield plug.

Jim Jarvis (SS, ATL) — 1% Owned

A 66.7% hard-hit rate and 93.4 mph exit velocity with a .286 wOBA over five games. The Braves shortstop is worth a roster spot on your watchlist if you're in dynasty formats — the batted ball data is ahead of the counting stats.

Colt Emerson (3B/SS, SEA) — 11% Owned

The strikeout rate dropping from 41.8% to 27.3% is the headline, and the 66.7% hard-hit rate with 93.1 mph exit velocity shows he's making better decisions at the plate. But .100 AVG and .088 wOBA over five games means the results are nowhere close to matching the process. This is a long-range dynasty stash, not a redraft move.

Ownership Movers

It's a quiet day on the ownership front. Joey Ortiz at 2% (+1%) is the only player showing any roster movement, and it's barely a blip relative to the signal strength he's putting out — a .450 wOBA and 107.3 mph EV should be generating far more waiver activity than a single percentage point. Miguel Andujar (2%), Nolan Schanuel (10%), Romy Gonzalez (2%), and Luke Raley (10%) are all flat on ownership despite showing meaningful underlying improvements. The market hasn't caught up to the data yet, which is exactly when you want to be moving. If you wait for ownership spikes to confirm what the batted ball metrics are already showing, you're late.

Quick Hits

  • Contact quality disconnect of the day: Romy Gonzalez has a 103.5 mph exit velocity and 100% hard-hit rate but a .000 batting average over the past week. That BABIP is going to correct — hard.
  • Discipline watch: Josh Jung's 7.1% weekly strikeout rate represents a 71.6% reduction from his 30-day mark of 25.0%. That's the single largest K-rate drop in today's data and the primary reason he's a top add.
  • Walk rate explosion: Joey Ortiz went from a 5.3% walk rate over 30 days to 27.3% in the past week — a fivefold increase that suggests either a dramatic approach change or a small-sample anomaly. Either way, when it's paired with 107.3 mph EV, you pay attention.
  • Quiet production: Nolan Schanuel's .364 AVG over five games is the highest raw average on today's report, yet his ownership sits at just 10% with zero movement. The Angels' lineup context suppresses his visibility, but the plate discipline is real.
  • Two Mariners trending: Both Luke Raley and Colt Emerson showed significant strikeout rate declines this week. Raley's dropped from 28.0% to 12.5%, Emerson's from 41.8% to 27.3%. Seattle's offense could be waking up — something to track for stacking purposes.
