06/17/2024

JJ Bleday is probably a name that you haven't heard of, but he's playing great for the Oakland A's. In this article, we will be going through why you need to pick up JJ Bleday, before it's too late and he's on a winning team.

So far this season, Bleday is batting .254/.337/.462 with an OPS of .799, which is very good for a player like him. He also has ten home runs, 25 RBIs, 19 doubles and three triples on the season, also very good statistics. He has the highest WAR of his career of 2.2 and 5.4 Runs Created per 27 outs, along with a 2.4 oWAR and .208 ISOP, all career highs.

In points leagues this season, he has 343 fantasy points with an average of 4.6 points per game. He also is the eighth best outfielder in the MLB in fantasy points racked up. The most incredible thing about this is that he is only rostered in 18% of fantasy leagues, so he might be available in your league. If he's not then we would advise you to trade for him as soon as possible.

We would choose JJ Bleday over multiple bigger name outfielders, but we're just going to go over a few of them. Corbin Carrol, David Fry, Cody Bellinger, Jazz Chisholm, Kyle Schwarber, Riley Greene, Alex Verdugo, Bryan Reynolds, Daulton Varsho and Charlie Blackmon just to say a few big name players. Bleday will have more points than these players at the end of the season.
