Back in June, it would’ve been ludicrous to say that Austin Wells should be the full-time starting catcher for the New York Yankees over Jose Trevino. By the end of the month, he was batting .214 with just three homers and 13 RBI. Trevino, on the other hand, was having another solid offensive season.

Yankees Rookie Emerging as a Top Catcher

When you watch a left-handed pitcher who throws in the low-to-mid-90s with a changeup and a slider you probably assume he’s a pitchability type of guy. Then you go and look at his metrics, and his walk rate, and you’re likely to come away with the same conclusion. This, however, is not what DJ Herz is. No, Herz pitches like a high-leverage reliever with unflinching confidence in his stuff and its ability to get the job done. It feels a little strange to call someone with his arsenal a “power pitcher”, but by his results, he fits the description.

There are a few new names on the list this week, but two of the more interesting ones are Ryan Walker and Justin Martinez. With 24.5% K-BB and 32.6% CSW rates, as well as a 2.60 SIERA on the season, Walker as a full time closer might be a top 5 closing option right now. He is the Giants closer for now, but it’s not out of the realm of possibility Doval returns in a few weeks and gets a chance to take his job back. For now, Walker is worth the add in almost all formats as long as he is the teams closer.
