2023 Fantasy Outlook
Dalbec closed 2021 on such a high note that many thought he was on his way to a big 2022. Alas, that never materialized as Dalbec once again struggled to make contact and struggled mightily against righties leading to a demotion to Triple-A and the short side of platoons until injuries forced him into more playing time. Dalbec can still sting a baseball with the best of them, but his infrequent contact with the baseball limit the moments his bat can make a fantasy impact and he instead serves as a drag on your batting average. Doubling down on the issues is he hits down in the lineup which limits his overall run production. You do not give up on power like his in fantasy, but Boston is rumored to be looking to move on from him and that change of scenery may be just what he needs to push up the run production. Of course, excessive playing time could turn his numbers into another Joey Gallo situation. Read Past Outlooks

Being shopped
The Red Sox are actively shopping Dalbec, Peter Gammons reports.
ANALYSIS
Gammons reported two National League executives as the source of his intel. Dalbec does not have a path to a regular role with Boston, but both execs believe Dalbec can harness his power and play everyday at third base.

Stat Review
How does Bobby Dalbec 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.

On Aug. 7, Dalbec was slashing a season-low .214/.261/.390, with a 38.1 K% and 4.8 BB%. After, he posted a .299/.378/.732 line with a 26.6 K% and 9.1 BB%. While the change was obviously gradual, the difference before and after the nadir was pitch recognition. Dalbec's numbers against fastballs were consistent all season, but he markedly improved against breaking balls and offspeed stuff. His contact rate on curves and sliders increased to go along with a 5.6-mph bump in average exit velocity while his avgEV on changeups spiked 7.6 mph. Clearly, Dalbec can't maintain the power level exhibited in his final 42 games, but handling curves, sliders and changeups better is a great sign. Playing time, however, is unclear as Dalbec's defense at first base is a work in progress. Buy into Dalbec taking the next step but be leery of regular playing time.
