2023 Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
The rotund cult hero of Flushing will be with the Mets at least one more season as the club exercised his incredibly cheap player option for the 2023 season. Vogelbach quickly endeared himself to the Mets fan base with some timely hitting as the strong side part of a DH situation after being freed from the suffering in Pittsburgh. He possesses a 16% walk rate for his career, which is outstanding for someone with just one monster season on his resume. He will strikeout more than the league average and lefties remain a major problem for him, but he was top 15 by wRC+ vs righties last season and did more damage than Kyle Schwarber against righties by that same metric. You should not have to reach for Vogelbach given he is Utility only for drafting and his plate appearance ceiling is rather low, but late power is late power and you can make room for him in the reserves should your active draft phase look a bit light.

Sticking with Mets in 2023
The Mets will exercise Vogelbach's $1.5 million team option for 2023, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Vogelbach will unsurprisingly remain in New York after a strong showing with the Mets in the second half of the 2022 campaign. After being traded from the Pirates to the Mets on July 22, the slugger slashed .255/.393/.436 with six homers, 25 RBI and 18 runs scored over 55 contests.

With the DH now in place in the National League, Vogelbach should have a clear path to an everyday spot in the lineup against right-handed pitching, provided he can keep his strikeouts in check. The 29-year-old has historically been a liability defensively even at first base. For his career, the lefty-hitting Vogelbach has been a well above league-average performer versus righties, slashing .228/.357/.442 (117 wRC+).
