2023 Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Another year, another season down the drain due to injuries for Mondesi. Former Royals GM Dayton Moore said in August 2021 that the infielder couldn't be counted on as an everyday player, and that was confirmed again in 2022 as he played in only 15 games before he suffered a torn ACL in May. Mondesi played in all but one game during the shortened 2020 campaign, but he's otherwise been unable to remain off the injured list since he made his MLB debut in 2016. He has 119 steals over the past five seasons despite the limited action and his .255 average during that stretch is respectable, though his 4.4 percent walk rate is poor. Mondesi will turn 28 years old in July and is entering his final year of arbitration, which prompted the Royals to move on, trading him to the Red Sox. Boston's middle infield is a mess with Trevor Story out after elbow surgery and Xander Bogaerts now in San Diego, so it's about as favorable landing spot as possible for Mondesi. Even if he manages to begin the season as a starter, the injury concerns leave Mondesi as nothing more than a late-round dart throw, albeit with some upside on the basepaths. Read Past Outlooks

Ruled out for spring games
Mondesi (knee) will not play in any Grapefruit League games this spring, Red Sox manager Alex Cora told Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Things had been pointing in that direction for a while now. Cora also added that there remains no timetable for Mondesi's return as he works his way back from last year's ACL tear. The infielder continues to work out and seems to be progressing fine, but fantasy managers should count on him missing at least the first month or so of the season. Christian Arroyo is in line for starts at second base.

Stat Review
How does Adalberto Mondesi compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

"No, you can't [count on Mondesi as an everyday player]," GM Dayton Moore told 610 Sports Radio in Kansas City last August. "We're learning that we're going to have to manage his workloads in ways that he may not be a guy that plays more than 100 games," Moore said. Mondesi was limited to 35 games in 2021 due a variety of injuries, most notably hamstring and oblique issues (he strained both his right and left oblique). He's exceeded 75 games at the major-league level once so far, reaching 102 games in 2019. When on the field last season, his performance was on par with what we've seen in the past; a strikeout rate right around 30%, a middling walk rate around 5%, a ton of speed. The respectable pop he'd shown in the past was conspicuous by its absence, with the oblique trouble most likely to blame. Front office types give us all kinds of hyperbole, but we advise taking Moore at his word on this one, as it's not an everyday profile anyway. The 3B-eligibility now helps Mondesi's case, if only somewhat.
