Brayan Rocchio

Rocchio is the rare shortstop delivering five-category production in a career year — speed, power, and average all pointing in the right direction. He's locked into the lineup and has been one of the most consistent wire adds of the second half. At 65%, he is now mostly claimed, but if you are in an 8–10 team league and he's available, he should be your first move today.

Rocchio is delivering the best five-category shortstop value on the wire this week, putting together a career year in every meaningful category. His last 23 games show no cooling: 3 HR, 5 2B, 12 RBI, and 3 SB while hitting .303. If your 8-10 team league still has him sitting, he is priority add material right now.

Rocchio brings rare three-position eligibility (SS/2B/3B) alongside 15 steals and an emerging power-speed combo. His July surge (.317 avg, .925 OPS) confirms the breakout is real. With José Ramírez still on the IL, Rocchio is Cleveland's most impactful fantasy contributor. Add in 10-team leagues and larger.

Rocchio closed April on a heater and has carried the form into June, batting .385 with five extra-base hits, two steals, and 11 RBI over his most recent 15-game stretch. He is the Guardians' everyday shortstop hitting ninth in one of the AL's most patient lineups — the spot that accumulates run totals as the lineup turns over. His tri-positional eligibility at shortstop, second base, and third base makes him especially useful in roster-construction emergencies. At 22% owned, this is the easiest deep-league add of the week.

The plate discipline leap is the story — his K% is nearly half what it was last year, and the walk rate climbed to 8.6%. He closed April batting .385 over his last 15 games. The counting stats (especially those 7 steals) deserve a roster spot in 12+ team leagues.

A top-20 Yahoo player over the last two weeks — .341 with 5 SB, 9 R, and 8 RBI. The 1:1 K:BB ratio makes him especially valuable in points leagues. Rocchio's multi-position eligibility is the cherry on top. Top-20 2B/SS rest of season; claim in any league he's still floating.

Pitcher List's priority hitter. Rocchio cut his K rate dramatically (was 77:22 K:BB last year — now 17:16). 4 HRs and 8 SBs in 45 games. Top-25 2B/SS rest of season with the multi-position eligibility bonus.
