Henry Bolte

Bolte's 12 home runs and 17 steals across 177 Triple-A plate appearances before his call-up were not a fluke — the power-speed combination is translating in the majors (.341 BA, 2 HR, 2 SB over the last two weeks). He is available in 89% of leagues despite being one of the more dynamic young outfielders on any roster. The main risk is a high strikeout rate catching up to him; his career .310 average projects to regress toward .265. Add now in all formats at 11% owned before someone else's waiver column makes him feel obvious.

Bolte debuted Wednesday with a single, infield hit, walk, sacrifice fly RBI, and a diving catch in CF. The A's are running him daily with Jacob Wilson on the IL. Top-30 prospect with a power-speed profile that translates immediately. Add aggressively in 14+ team formats.

Pitcher List's #2 hitter add. Bolte was raking at Triple-A Las Vegas (.348 / 12 HR / 17 SB through 37 games) with a 22% K-rate (down from 30%+ in 2024). The power-speed combo is the most fantasy-relevant profile of any rookie this year. With Jacob Wilson probably hitting the IL, Bolte has daily reps locked. Top-40 OF rest of season floor.

Bolte debuted May 13 and slid directly into an everyday center-field role. In Triple-A this spring he slashed .348/.418/.658 with 12 home runs and 17 steals in just 37 games — one of the most explosive minor-league lines of the season. At 22 with 80-grade speed, the floor is a .280 average with 15+ steals in a half season. Oakland's offense limits run and RBI upside, but the raw counting-stat tools are unmistakable. At 18% ownership, this is the quietest speed stash in baseball heading into the second half of Week 9.
