Wilin Rosario has played seven games since his return from the disabled list.
Analysis: Thus far this season Rosario has 4 home runs in 31 games played. That isn’t bad but the .234 batting average is a concern. Rosario’s BABIP is about sixty points below his career average so the batting average should tick up a bit sooner than later. He’s a career .273 hitter(.285 at home) so there isn’t much to worry about on that front. Rosario has never had much of a walk rate so we can dismiss the lack of walks but I do like that he has cut down on his strikeouts this year.
We also have to keep in mind that Rosario has 49 home runs over the last two years which is the most for a catcher from 2012-2013. He’s also in the top five among catchers in runs batted in during that two year span. It is obvious that Rosario just came off the disabled list and hasn’t played to his potential this year but he remains a must own.
Wilin Rosario is available in 10-25% of fantasy leagues.
