The race to secure valuable players for the second half of the fantasy baseball season is heating up, especially with August approaching. This week, we spotlight four hitters who have shown surprising offensive prowess over the past month and are likely available for pickup.

Matt Wallner of the Minnesota Twins has been getting regular at-bats and, while his average sits low at .200, he boasts a powerful presence with five home runs in the last 30 days. His strikeout rate is down significantly from previous seasons, suggesting potential for a batting average rebound.

Isaac Collins of the Milwaukee Brewers has also been a standout, hitting .310 recently with impressive speed, contributing four stolen bases. However, his below-average hard contact rate raises questions about sustainability.

Kody Clemens, another Twin, has showcased versatility across multiple positions, hitting .255 with five home runs. His hard contact rate indicates he could maintain this power surge.

Lastly, Victor Caratini of the Houston Astros is having a career year, hitting .355 over the last two weeks, with a significant increase in hard contact. His batting profile suggests this performance could continue, making him an excellent pickup for teams in need of a catcher.
