2023 Fantasy Outlook

A sore groin delayed Ward's debut a week. Once he was ready, Ward was one of the league's top batters with a .333/.443/.644 line in 38 games through June 3. He then visited the IL for 10 days after aggravating a hamstring injury. Upon returning, Ward couldn't find a groove, posting a .222/.297/.339 line over the next 63 games. He then missed a series in Toronto, but when he rejoined the club, Ward found his stroke and finished .339/.387/.548 over his final 34 contests. For the season, Ward's 137 wRC+ should assure a starting job, though the Angels outfield is getting crowded. His plate skills are strong, and Ward's 69th percentile average exit velocity, 66th percentile hard hit rate and 79th percentile all portend an MLB regular. A converted infielder, Ward's outfield defense is improving. Durability is an issue, but when healthy, Ward has the makings of a solid mixed league outfielder at a fair price. Read Past Outlooks
