2023 Fantasy Outlook
Stefanic has been an on-base machine for the past two years in the minors, posting a .408 OBP over 125 games in 2021 and increasing that mark to .418 in 81 games last season. He didn't do much during a 25-game cup of coffee in the majors, slashing .197/.279/.230 across 69 plate appearances, though he affirmed his solid contact skills with a 17.4% strikeout rate. Stefanic flashed some power for the first time with 16 homers in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League in 2021 but dropped to four long balls last season, and his first-percentile average exit velocity while up with the big club doesn't suggest much potential in that department in the majors. The comparisons to teammate David Fletcher are obvious, as both players are extreme contact hitters with little power and below-average speed. Like Fletcher, Stefanic can play multiple positions across the infield; that should help his chances of gaining a roster spot, though there doesn't appear to be a clear path to significant big-league at-bats next season. At best, Stefanic could eventually function as an AVG/OBP stabilizer, but the lack of additional skills make him an unexciting fantasy option. Read Past Outlooks
