Garrett Mitchell

A former first-round pick finally staying healthy and making genuine contact improvements — a 13-point K-rate drop isn't noise at this sample size.

Mitchell's stolen base pace should accelerate in the second half — 98th percentile sprint speed doesn't slow down in August. But the real argument for adding him is the Statcast line: .357 xwOBA, 14.7% barrel rate, 51.2% hard-hit rate. The hit tool is improving too (.359 OBP). In 10-12 team leagues where he's still sitting, Mitchell is a legitimate add with a clear path to steals and improving power.

Mitchell has been on a tear through late June and into July — Wednesday's 4-hit, 3-extra-base-hit game was just his best night in a sustained hot stretch. The Brewers play eight games in Week 16, which is the schedule boost that turns a hot hitter into a must-roster add. If he is sitting at 45% in your league, he will not be there Monday.

Consistent multi-category contributor in a deep Brewers lineup. His recent hot stretch — four homers over 20 games with a .650 SLG — makes him worth adding in 10–12 team leagues where he's still on the wire.
