Why you should pick up Ryan O'Hearn before it's too late

The name Ryan O'Hearn is not a very well known name in the MLB, but it should be. He is only rostered in 18.3% of leagues, and for reasons unclear it is dropping. He is playing great this season and is getting very little respect in return, but we are here to give him his flowers along with reasons you should add him to your roster. 

This season for the Baltimore Orioles, O'Hearn is ranked as the 12th best first basemen and is averaging exactly 6 points per game. He also has a total of 127 fantasy points so far this season, and he will look to continue his workload. The reasons he isn't getting the credit he deserves in fantasy baseball is because he is not an everyday starter for the Orioles, even though he plays three positions. The three positions he plays are first base, outfielder, and also DH. He starts all games against lefty pitchers, which he excels in.  He also starts some games against right-handed pitchers, and we expect his production to increase. 

O'Hearn is batting .299 this season, with 4 home runs, 20 hits, and 3 doubles in a limited workload. In the last seven days, his batting average has been .400, which means he is due for a streak here. If the Orioles offically moved him to designated hitter permanently, then his fantasy value would skyrocket. It's bound to happen at somepoint this season, with Anthony Santander playing right field, and Adley Rutschman being the starting catcher. 

Some players we would drop for Ryan O'Hearn if they are on your roster are guys like Tommy Edman, who hasn't played all season due to injury problems. Gabriel Moreno started off hot for the Diamondbacks but has fallen off in the last two weeks. Ian Happ is averaging almost 3 points less per game than O'Hearn and is still rostered in about 60% more of leagues. The thing about all these players I just named is that they are all rostered more than Ryan O'Hearn is leagues. Either way, O'Hearn is about to go off this season.
