2023 Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
McCormick began 2022 as the strong side of a platoon in center field and had a .676 OPS through the first three months of the campaign, but he came alive during the second half of the season with a .271/.356/.416 slash line, and he carried that success into the first half of the playoffs while working as the Astros' primary center fielder. He finished the season with a 114 wRC+ improved his strikeout and walk rates to 26.0 percent and 11.3 percent respectively, though the strikeout rate could use another improvement. Kyle Tucker is cemented in right field while Yordan Alvarez should split time between left field and designated hitter, so there's plenty of at-bats up for grabs in Houston's outfield. The strong second half and playoff performance should give McCormick a leg up for a starting job to enter spring training. He could be a fantasy asset if able to build on that performance, though he shouldn't be counted on as more than a sleeper or depth option. Read Past Outlooks

Showing patience at plate
McCormick has drawn seven walks across 28 plate appearances during Cactus League action.
ANALYSIS
McCormick is in competition for the center field job with Jake Meyers this spring and has reached base at a .464 clip. While that's certainly a positive, he has only three extra-base hits across 21 at-bats. Both McCormick and Meyers could start the season in the lineup if Michael Brantley (shoulder) isn't ready for Opening Day.

Stat Review
How does Chas McCormick 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
McCormick made his MLB debut in 2021, seeing only sporadic playing time for the first half of the season while serving as the fourth outfielder in Houston. He showed promise in that span, racking up 10 home runs across 162 plate appearances. However, things went downhill after he took over an everyday role in the aftermath of Myles Straw being traded. While progressing through the minor leagues, McCormick's primary skills were making contact, reaching base regularly and stealing bases. Contrarily, in his first taste of the major leagues, he struck out at a 32.5% clip and attempted only six stolen bases across a total of 320 plate appearances. After a hot start as a power hitter (.264 ISO in first half), he managed only nine extra-base hits across 144 second-half plate appearances. Looking ahead, McCormick's strong defense should continue to earn him playing time, though he'll have to make significant improvements to make an impact in most fantasy formats.
