2023 Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Blackmon hit below .280 in 2021 for the first time since his rookie campaign, and he took another step back last season with a .264/.314/.419 slash line in 135 games. He clubbed 16 home runs and had his walk rate drop nearly four percentage points to 5.7 percent. Blackmon primarily served as a designated hitter but still played 50 games in right field, so he'll retain his positional eligibility. He'll turn 37 years old in July and unsurprisingly exercised his $18 million player option for 2023, but his fantasy utility will likely continue to wane, especially when away from Coors Field (where he had a .793 OPS in 2022).

Returns to lineup
Blackmon (back) will bat second and serve as the designated hitter Saturday against the Guardians, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Blackmon sat for two weeks due to back stiffness, but he appeared in a minor-league game Friday and will play with the big-league club just one day later. It looks as though he'll be good to go for Opening Day, though the 36-year-old may require more off days than normal early on to ease him into the season.

Stat Review
How does Charlie Blackmon 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.

How the mighty have fallen. Just five seasons ago, Blackmon was hitting over 20 home runs and stealing double-digit bags with a .300 batting average. Most of that is nowhere to be found at 35 years old. He's only stolen seven combined bases over the past three seasons, so that facet of his game should be considered completely gone. He hit just 13 homers last season, mainly because his groundball rate jumped to a career-high 47.2%. He did improve in the second half with his OPS jumping from .722 to .809, with most of the change being power driven (.102 ISO to .186 ISO, 51.2 GB% to 41.9 GB%). Even if he has a resurgence, he is probably still only startable at home. While he's never previously been considered a streaming option, he is now.
