2024 Fantasy Outlook
A crowded Twins depth chart complicates Lee's path to playing time in the short term, but he doesn't need much more time in the minors from a developmental standpoint. The No. 8 overall pick in 2022, Lee has been essentially as advertised, with a .281/.355/.459 slash line, 20 home runs, seven steals and a 15.7 percent strikeout rate in 156 career games, primarily at Double-A and Triple-A. He may not have a true plus tool, but he could be at least average across the board, and his hit tool still has a chance to get to plus. The 5-foot-11 switch hitter can handle shortstop, and he could be a plus defender at second base, where his average arm is a better fit than third base or the outfield. Lee is better in real life than fantasy, as he doesn't project to hit 25 homers or steal double-digit bases, but he has a very high fantasy floor long term. Read Past Outlooks
Back on bench Thursday
Lee is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Guardians.
ANALYSIS
The switch-hitting Lee had started in each of the Twins' last three matchups with right-handed pitchers, but he'll hit the bench for a second straight matchup with a lefty (Joey Cantillo). Though Carlos Correa looks poised to serve as the Twins' primary shortstop down the stretch following his recent activation from the injured list, Lee could factor into the mix for playing time at second base, where Minnesota has been rotating three players (Lee, Edouard Julien and Kyle Farmer) of late. Super-utility man Willi Castro is typically picking up starts out of the outfield but could settle in as the primary option at the keystone once outfielder Max Kepler (knee) returns from the injured list.

Stat Review
How does Brooks Lee 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.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Lee's physical tools are a little light compared to the rest of the hitters selected in the top 10 of the 2022 draft (the Twins took him eighth overall), but he has an impressive track record of hitting for average and had a strong pro debut. Most evaluators think he had the best hit tool from the college ranks in that class, and Lee slashed .303/.389/.451 with 20 strikeouts and 16 walks in 31 games across rookie ball, Single-A and High-A. Already physically maxed out at 6-foot-2, 205 pounds, the 21-year-old switch hitter (turns 22 in February) projects to eventually move to second base or third base, but he was sent out last season as a shortstop. Lee is just an average runner who figures to slow down, so the fantasy appeal hinges on his hit tool translating against upper-level pitching and the eventual development of enough power to hit first or second, rather than eighth or ninth. There's a point in every first-year player draft where he would warrant consideration, but trading back for a player with more upside might be the preferable route in active trading leagues.
