Eric Hosmer is the 8th best roto first baseman in the month of June.
Analysis: It appears that Eric Hosmer is finally finding his groove this season. He’s hitting .319 with 1 home run, 2 stolen bases and 10 runs in the month of June. He has five multi-hit games this month and now has his batting average up to .273 this year. He is quite capable of posting numbers like he did in his rookie year- .293 AVG, 19 HR, 11 SB, 78 RBI and it seems he is back on track. Hosmer has always projected as a poor man’s Joey Votto in the fantasy world and that isn’t a bad thing. The biggest plus going for Hosmer right now is his 5 stolen bases this year which is second among major league first baseman.
Hosmer is available in 35-50% of fantasy leagues which does come as a surprise considering his play this month. There are not many injuries at first base in baseball right now but there are tons of injuries piling up with outfielders. Depth is always a plus and that is exactly what Eric Hosmer should provide going forward.
