Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Adds: 4/12
In the world of fantasy baseball, the waiver wire is a treasure trove of potential gems waiting to be discovered. This article delves into the players who are currently available and worth adding to your rosters, offering a mix of established talent and up-and-coming prospects.
Top Priority Player to Add: Joey Cantillo
Joey Cantillo, a 26-year-old left-handed pitcher, is a standout performer this season. His 2.45 ERA and 1.85 FIP are impressive, ranking 7th best in the MLB. Cantillo's ability to generate swing-and-miss despite below-average velocity is a testament to his skill. His 7.2 extension and 18" iVB on his four-seamer contribute to an elite level of performance, with a .172 xBA and .286 xwOBA. The effectiveness of his changeup, slider, and curveball, coupled with a low walk rate and high strikeout rate, makes him a valuable addition to any fantasy roster.
