Verdict: Sell
Once a promising prospect, Maybin’s career appeared to be dead in the water entering the season. To start the year, Maybin flashed power but home runs were about the only thing he could hit. However, a hot May has raised Maybin’s average to .261. With a 20/20 pace in play, Maybin suddenly has fantasy appeal.
His BABIP sits slightly below his career rate, which is notable because he’s hit line drives at a 32.6% rate, far and away his best career rate. With his infield fly ball and strikeout rate around career norms, it seems as if Maybin might be getting a bit unlucky with his average this season.
