Given his first big opportunity at age 27, Wagaman hit .250/.296/.378 in 514 plate appearances for the Marlins last season. More encouraging, though, were hit 46.5% hard-hit rate and 19.5% strikeout rate. So, there probably is the potential for more offense here. Still, Wagaman is below average at third and in the outfield and probably needs to be mostly limited to first base. The Twins figure to use him there or at DH against lefties, assuming that he makes the team. One imagines he’ll be competing with Kody Clemens, Edouard Julien and Mickey Gasper for two roster spots. Wagaman and Gasper both have options remaining, whereas the other two do not.

Wagaman’s big hit came an inning after Kyle Stowers tied the game with a solo homer. Wagaman came into the night in an 8-for-46 slump that had dropped his OPS to .648. Still, he built up enough goodwill early that he’s gotten a chance to ride it out. He’s not a mixed-league guy, but he’ll probably rate as one of the Marlins’ better hitters as long as he continues to play.

Wagaman proved to be a tough out for Gunnar Hoglund and the Athletics’ bullpen in what was an otherwise quiet night for the Marlins’ lineup. Apart from his three hits, he also had three batted balls hit harder than 100 mph and it’s getting difficult to ignore his hot start to the season. He has an acceptable .267 batting average and .731 OPS with solid underlying plate discipline and power metrics while playing every day. That’s a worthwhile player in a lot of leagues.

Wagaman’s solo shot to straightaway center field came off Reds southpaw Nick Lodolo to give the Marlins a commanding three-run lead in the fifth inning. He also singled and stole a base in the seventh inning, just for good measure, to complete the combo meal performance. The unheralded 27-year-old is hitting .277 (18-for-65) with three homers, seven RBI and one steal through 18 games in his Marlins debut.

Wagaman was a nice surprise in the Angels system last season, but though they brought him up at the end of the year, the Halos didn’t completely buy into his progress and non-tendered him in November. The Marlins opted to give him a major league contract as a free agent, and he’s opened the year by hitting .260/.339/.440 with just eight strikeouts in 56 plate appearances. He’s the player they hoped Jonah Bride would be, and while his fantasy ceiling is capped by the lack of production around him, he could be of use in deeper formats.
