Josh Bell

Josh Bell went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored on Monday night against the Brewers.

Fantasy Impact

Bell has quietly had a very solid year, as he's on pace to top 80 runs and RBIs and hit 30 home runs. Oddly enough, the only place he's struggled is with batting average (just .241 on the season), the area where he most notably succeeded in the minors (well over a .300 hitter at Triple-A). With just a .253 BABIP this season, it seems like he's likely been the victim of bad luck, and a little good fortune could turn him into a true fantasy stud.

Josh Bell ripped Philly for home run and three RBIs Thursday night. He ended the night 2-for-5.

The home run was the 16th of the season for Bell. While he's certainly being overshadowed by other rookie sluggers this year, he's having a strong campaign in his own right.

Josh Bell finished 1-for-5 with a triple, run scored and drove in a run as the Pirates defeated the Phillies on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Bell is showing his power at the plate but little else. Over his last 14 games, the 24-year-old first baseman is hitting just .208 but has a .458 slugging percentage. Bell is going to be good when he figures it all out but right now he is not worth owning in anything but deeper leagues.

Josh Bell tacked on an insurance run by driving in Josh Harrison on the 7th, making the score 4-0, which would hold up as the final as the Pirates downed the Rays.

Fantasy Impact

Bell's been contributing on a consistent basis lately, and despite being overshadowed by other rookies like Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger, he's having a strong first campaign with 15 home runs already.

After a slow start to the month of June, Josh Bell has turned it up of late. Over his last 10 games, he has three home runs and seven RBIs, and has even added one steal.

Fantasy Impact

He's far from a superstar, but Bell is now on pace to hit 30 homers on the season, an impressive number from the youngster who was not thought to have much fantasy value at the start of the season. With eligibility at both first base and outfield, Bell remains a solid bench option in most fantasy leagues.
