Nico Hoerner needs to be traded onto your team now

04/22/2024

Nico Hoerner started off the year on a slow start, and many fantasy managers either traded or even cut him. But, Now he's playing exceptional and he is making a case to be a steal if you can just trade for him right now.

At the start of this season, Nico Hoerner came in projected to be a top ten second basemen. But, he didn't exceed those expectations as he wasn't even a top 20 second basemen, and top ten was not even a thought. Through his first ten games, he was batting a horrendous .188. But after that terrible slump, in the last 11 games he has improved his batting average to a .289. In his last eleven games, he has had all six of his RBI's, all 6 of his doubles, and a triple. He has yet to have a home run, but he isn't known as a power hitter anyways.

The reason that you need to trade for Nico Hoerner right now is because he's playing better than ever. He now went from a sub top-25 guy to now the tenth best second basemen in fantasy. He bumped his average to about 4.5 and in his last five games he's averaging almost 13 points per game. He's going on a tear right now and getting back into his former self. Someone who you could trade for Hoerner is Francisco Lindor or Bo Bichette just based off name value, they would be a great asset in a trade since they aren't having a great season this year. Nonetheless, Nico Hoerner needs to be added onto your roster no matter what.
