Soni recommended Trent Grisham’s +370 home-run prop versus Colorado because Rockies starter Antonio Senzatela carries a 6.34 ERA and a history of surrendering long balls. Grisham owns 12 homers, a 16.8% barrel rate, 44.9% hard-hit rate, and averages 91 mph on exit velocity, metrics that point to legitimate pop. With left-handed power thriving against Senzatela, Soni calls the Yankee outfielder a live bet to leave the yard.

Chris Welsh urged fantasy managers in 10- and even 12-team redraft leagues to pick up Trent Grisham, projecting the outfielder to "leave this year with a 25-home-run season." Welsh backed the take with elite underlying numbers: a 17% barrel rate, 48.9% hard-hit rate, only an 18% strikeout rate (career low), double-digit walk rate, and an average 20° launch angle. Grisham’s .288 batting average nearly matches his .287 xBA, and he has already launched 12 homers despite zero steals. Welsh concluded that even if the batting average settles around .260, the power profile looks real and is worth an immediate add.

Ryan Wormeli argued that Trent Grisham’s early-season homer binge is sustainable enough to treat him as an every-week fantasy starter, not a short-term streamer. Grisham already has 10 home runs versus just ONE double, a profile Wormeli chalked up to Yankee Stadium’s right-field porch rather than pure luck. The underlying approach change is the real story: his strikeout rate has plummeted from 27-28% the last three years to 18.8% while his walk rate holds steady at 10.9%. At the same time he is putting 25.7% of his batted balls in the air to the pull side—by far a career high and five percentage points above last season’s personal best—perfectly tailored to the Bronx. Pair those launches with a career-best barrel rate and Wormeli sees Grisham becoming exactly what managers thought Cody Bellinger would be in pinstripes: a 25-30 HR, solid-OBP outfielder. He advised scooping Grisham wherever he’s still under 70% rostered and was candid that, while some regression is inevitable, the plate-discipline gains make the power output ‘sticky’.

Mike Maher called Trent Grisham a must-add in any league where he’s still floating on waivers (rostered in only ~50% of CBS and under 30% on ESPN/Yahoo). Grisham is slashing .292/.376/.640 with 10 homers and just 19 strikeouts, and his Statcast page is crimson: 93rd-percentile xwOBA, 94th xSLG, 80th EV, 78th barrel rate, plus elite chase- and whiff-rate numbers. Maher believes the park is a massive driver—Grisham is pulling the ball for power into Yankee Stadium’s short porch—turning him into the player fantasy gamers hoped Cody Bellinger would become in the Bronx. While regression from a 1.000+ OPS is inevitable, Maher expects the 28-year-old to settle in as a 25-30 homer outfielder with useful OBP the rest of the way. Scoop him now before the breakout is fully priced in.

Beermakersfan said Trent Grisham remains a smash value in cash and GPP builds. Grisham is still priced under 5 K on DraftKings and under 3.2 K on FanDuel even though he is now entrenched in the Yankee leadoff spot with MVP-caliber bats behind him. Among hitters with 40+ PA versus right-handed pitching this season he owns a .450+ wOBA and .450+ ISO, both top-five in MLB. Opposing starter Ryan Pepiot (the transcript spells him Pipeo) has been mauled by lefties: .351 wOBA, .288 ISO, 47 % hard-hit rate, all while carrying an unsustainably low .237 BABIP that suggests things could get worse. The combination of elite individual form, premium lineup slot and a pitcher who cannot get lefties out makes Grisham a core DFS salary-saving piece for Friday.
