2023 Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
It was mostly a lost season for Bote in 2022, and he finished it by getting outrighted to Triple-A Iowa in November, which removes him from the 40-man roster heading into 2023. The utility player didn't make his season debut until late June due to shoulder surgery the previous offseason, and shoulder issues continued to hamper him throughout the year. Bote ended up playing in a career-low 41 games for the Cubs and appeared in nearly as many games at Triple-A (38). When healthy and playing more regularly, Bote has provided some value as a versatile defender who can occasionally offer some pop as well. His best season came in 2019, when he registered career bests with 11 home runs, 41 RBI and a .784 OPS across 127 games. That looks like a distant memory as he enters his age-30 season, as the likes of Nico Hoerner, Nick Madrigal and Patrick Wisdom figure to absorb most of Bote's potential playing time. He figures to be organizational depth in 2023 with limited fantasy appeal. Read Past Outlooks

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2020
2019
Bote's career appears to have peaked in 2019. It has been nothing but struggle since with 2022 not looking much better. Bote has hit under .200 over the last two seasons around his walks and strikeouts, and he is spending the offseason recovering from November left shoulder surgery. Front shoulder surgery for a hitter is never a good thing as it limits the extension a hitter can get on the swing thereby limiting the hitter's power. Given Bote's struggles the past two seasons with hitting, you are safer planning on another down year rather than hoping he rediscovers his 2018-19 form.
