The Miami Marlins have been a surprising force in the MLB, boasting a 14-7 record over the past 23 days. This unexpected surge is led by a group of under-the-radar players, most of whom are rostered in less than 20% of ESPN leagues. Among them, catcher Agustin Ramirez stands out as a must-have for fantasy baseball enthusiasts.

Agustin Ramirez: A Reliable Catcher

Since his debut on April 21, Ramirez has become a cornerstone for the Marlins. He ranks as the No. 7 fantasy catcher this season, thanks to his impressive contact metrics and consistent performance. Ramirez's hard-hit rate of 48.6% and barrel rate of 11.9% place him among the top catchers in the league. His strikeout rate of 19.2% mirrors his minor-league performance, showcasing his reliability at the plate.

Chandler Simpson: Speed Demon

Outfielder Chandler Simpson of the Tampa Bay Rays is another player to watch. With a Statcast 90-feet running time of 3.67 seconds, Simpson leads the MLB in speed. He has stolen 40 bases this season and is a valuable asset in rotisserie formats.

Jurickson Profar: A Sneaky Pickup

Jurickson Profar of the Atlanta Braves is set to return from an 80-game suspension. Given the Braves' struggles in left field, Profar is expected to reclaim a regular role. His plate discipline and contact ability make him a sneaky pickup in points leagues.

Two-Start Pitchers to Add

• Chase Burns (Cincinnati Reds): Despite tough matchups, Burns' upside is undeniable.
• Jacob Lopez (Oakland Athletics): Lopez leads in Wins Above Replacement and has a streak of three consecutive quality starts.

Deeper-League Pickups

• Eric Lauer (Toronto Blue Jays): With a 3.76 ERA, Lauer is a solid rotation plug-in.
• Caleb Durbin (Milwaukee Brewers): Durbin's recent performance has solidified his role as the Brewers' everyday third baseman.
• Justin Wrobleski (Los Angeles Dodgers): Wrobleski has been a reliable option for the injury-riddled Dodgers' rotation.

These players offer significant potential to enhance your fantasy baseball roster. Keep an eye on their performances and consider adding them to your lineup for a competitive edge.
