Pitcher List Flags Early Waiver Wire Targets Backed by Statcast Gains

Overview

• Pitcher List’s daily waiver update spotlights four bats and four arms as immediate adds that are still available in many mixed leagues.
• Colt Keith’s surge looks real, with a .343 expected wOBA (a quality-of-contact stat), a 4 mph jump in exit velocity, and a 58% hard-hit rate that suggests more slug to come.
• Angel Martínez and Mauricio Dubón show skills growth worth buying, as Martínez trims his strikeout rate to 16% with higher barrel and hard-hit marks, and Dubón posts a .319/.365/.493 line for a 139 wRC+.
• Jeremiah Jackson offers plug-in power for short-handed lineups, producing a .283 ISO and five home runs despite zero walks in 62 plate appearances.
• On the mound, Paul Sewald anchors the relief adds with a 2.16 ERA, a 38% strikeout rate, and no walks, while streamers Ryne Nelson, Joey Cantillo, and Reid Detmers bring supportive markers like high whiffs, a 30% strikeout rate for Cantillo, and a 2.49 FIP (fielding-independent ERA) for Detmers.
