2023 Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Baty has long been an exit velocity darling and registered a 113 mph max EV (89th percentile) in just 31 MLB events during a brief cup of coffee after posting an elite 36.1 Hard% in the minors. His 24.8 K% at Double-A and Triple-A was fine for a 22-year-old slugger who also walked at an 11.7% clip. Hitting the ball hard and controlling the strike zone are major parts of the success equation for a 6-foot-3, 210-pound lefty slugger. The big question is whether he can get the ball in the air enough to maximize his power. When factoring in context, easily his best run as a pro was the 89 games he played last year at Double-A (160 wRC+), but that was also the only time he has logged a groundball rate below 51% (42.6%) above rookie ball. That run at Double-A accounted for 84% of his season, so we shouldn't read too much into his groundball rate spiking again at Triple-A and the majors, but it's undoubtedly the biggest stat to track with Baty in 2023. He tore a ligament in his right thumb at the end of August but should be ready for spring training. Eduardo Escobar is the incumbent at the hot corner, but between designated hitter (for Baty and Daniel Vogelbach) and second base (for Escobar and Luis Guillorme), there should be regular playing time available if he performs.

Sent down to Triple-A
The Mets optioned Baty to Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Baty more than held his own before the demotion with a .325/.460/.425 slash with a home run and two steals over 50 plate appearances. One of the top hitting prospects in the Mets' system, Baty will head to Triple-A to begin the season, but he has a real chance to help New York and fantasy players before 2023 comes to a close.

Stat Review
How does Brett Baty 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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2020
Baty can hit the ball really hard, but he also strikes out a lot and has logged terrible groundball rates in pro ball. He had a 51.6 GB% at High-A and a 61.2 GB% at Double-A. His run in the Arizona Fall League generated buzz after registering an elite maximum exit velocity, but he still wasn't driving the ball over the fence, hitting one home run with a .405 SLG and a 30.4 K% in 25 games. A 6-foot-3, 210-pound left-handed hitter, Baty has improved enough defensively that he should be able to stick at third base long term. He is talented, and if he changes his launch angle, he could be quite valuable, especially in OBP leagues. However, with Baseball America and Baseball Prospectus each ranking him as a top-40 overall prospect this offseason, this may be the perfect time to sell high in dynasty leagues.
