2023 Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Previously known as "the guy who blocked Vladimir Guerrero for a while in 2019," Drury turned himself into a trade chip for the Reds with a career first half. In the end, Drury slashed .274/.335/.520 with 20 homers in 92 games with Cincinnati. He was moved to San Diego where the numbers predictably slipped along with his HR/FB. Drury is a journeyman utility player now on the wrong side of 30, but the Angels still brought him aboard for two years and $17 million. Drury has legitimate pop and is eligible at three positions entering 2023 (1B, 2B, 3B), and it's unclear where he'll see most of his time in 2023 given the Halos' crowded infield. He is a tough sell as a starter in mixed fantasy leagues given his track record of mediocrity, though if you need flexibility off the bench, Drury makes some sense. Read Past Outlooks

Joining Halos
Drury agreed to a two-year, $17 million contract with the Angels on Tuesday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 30-year-old split the 2022 campaign between Cincinnati and San Diego, and he earned the inaugural Silver Slugger for a utility player with a .263/.320/.492 slash line, 28 home runs and 87 RBI in 138 games. Luis Rengifo enjoyed a mini breakout with a .723 OPS in 2022, but Drury could now be the favorite to start at second base. Drury should see action at both infield corners, especially given third baseman Anthony Rendon playing fewer than 60 games in each of the past two seasons.

How does Brandon Drury 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.

The launch angle revolution only works if you have the raw power to drive flyballs out of the yard. Be it by design or not, Drury's flyball rate has climbed since 2017. Meanwhile, his power and BABIP have plummeted as he's met the ball with far less authority. Last season, things really cratered as Drury posted an anemic .358 OPS featuring a .184 OBP as his highest decimal. The Blue Jays designated Drury for assignment, and after clearing waivers, he was assigned to their alternate training facility before Toronto ultimately cut bait in the offseason. He joined the Mets on a minor-league deal in January of 2021. Drury will turn 29 years old in August, so the window is closing for him to establish himself.
