2023 Fantasy Outlook
As Rocchio, a switch-hitting shortstop who turns 22 this offseason, nears MLB readiness, his fit on the Guardians might be becoming a bigger question than his skill set. Andres Gimenez and Amed Rosario are theoretically entering their primes and they were worth a combined 8.5 fWAR last year. Part of the reason teams like Cleveland build with up-the-middle position players is so that they can move down the defensive spectrum when needed, but none of Rocchio/Gimenez/Rosario have the power typically associated with the corners, and Jose Ramirez probably isn't going anywhere. While he waits his turn at Triple-A, Rocchio could work on doing more damage when he makes contact. He has excellent bat-to-ball skills (84.7 Contact% at Triple-A), but too often he was swinging at pitchers' pitches and making weak contact (50.4 GB%). Rocchio has only run a high BABIP once in full-season ball (.350 at Double-A in 2021), so that excellent run (135 wRC+) should probably be considered the outlier until he improves his contact quality. He was 14-for-23 on stolen-base attempts, so that's another area he could improve. Read Past Outlooks

Stat Review
How does Brayan Rocchio 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.

2019
Rocchio gets lazily tagged as a high-floor/low-ceiling prospect, but a 20-year-old switch-hitting infielder who hits 15 home runs, steals 21 bases and slashes .277/.346/.460 as one of the youngest players at High-A and Double-A would seem to be a pretty appealing prospect in dynasty leagues. What makes Rocchio's season more impressive is the fact that he got better as the season went on and his competition got stronger. He had a 135 wRC+ at Double-A versus a 110 mark at High-A, and slashed .295/.370/.492 from June 1 on. Nicknamed The Professor, Rocchio has excellent instincts and intangibles, and he is clearly a player who has improved each season of his pro career. He has yet to walk at high clips in pro ball, but he also hasn't logged alarming strikeout rates, and it's hard to ding him too much for the lack of walks given how aggressively he's been pushed up the ladder. He is built like the organization's former switch-hitting franchise shortstop, Francisco Lindor, and thus many are skeptical of his power potential in the majors. Rocchio's swing is even eerily similar to Lindor's, and it's worth noting that Lindor never logged a minor-league ISO anywhere near the .212 mark Rocchio posted at Double-A. At the very least, he should play everyday and steal double-digit bases, but there's a very real chance Rocchio is a legitimate five-category anchor in his prime. He could set himself up for an everyday job in 2023.
