Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Astros' first-round pick in 2022 and the headliner to New York in the deal that sent Justin Verlander back to Houston, Gilbert had peaks and valleys last season, but he finished well and appears to be almost big-league ready. The strong, athletic 5-foot-9 center fielder can handle all three outfield spots and could turn into a five-tool player. From June 25 on, Gilbert slashed .311/.386/.545 with 11 home runs and five steals in 59 games at Double-A. He had an 18.9 percent strikeout rate over that stretch, so the 23-year-old lefty hitter may be poised to keep mashing upper-minors pitching until the Mets start his clock. No longer a plus runner, Gilbert has good instincts on the bases, but he may be capped at around 15 steals in the majors. Brandon Nimmo and Starling Marie are locked in as everyday players when healthy, but Gilbert could grab the other spot sometime in the first half if he performs as expected. Long term, he could be a leadoff or No. 2 hitter, but he would probably be a bottom-third hitter initially. Read Past Outlooks
