Rest-of-Season Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
For several seasons, Peralta was unfairly pigeonholed as a platoon batter, even though the lefty swinger handled southpaw pitching sufficiently to be a regular. However, last season, his numbers facing same side pitching plummeted, as he slashed just .154/.247/.215 without the platoon edge. That said, a .267/.329/.449 line facing righthanders is enough to find a job as a reserve outfielder, or perhaps reverting to his usual role of facing most righties. Peralta's primary issue was a career-high 23.3% strikeout rate. There was a time Peralta was the ideal outfielder to draft late as a safe play, perhaps hedging a high-upside hitter. Even with the weakened state of the current outfield inventory, it's hard to envision Peralta being fantasy-relevant in a mixed league with 15 or fewer teams. Read Past Outlooks

Day off Friday
Peralta is not in the starting lineup Friday versus the Yankees.
ANALYSIS
Peralta will get a day off after he went 3-for-8 while starting two games of a three-game series with the Nationals. Jason Heyward will draw the start in left field and bat sixth in the series opener with New York.

Stat Review
How does David Peralta 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.

Peralta played in a career-high 150 games, though he collected the second most plate appearances as he was platooned more than previous seasons. Peralta's solid plate skills have persisted as he enters his mid-30s, but he's showing signs of declining power. Peralta's homers have always been capped with a low flyball rate but last season's 26% was a career nadir. His exit velocity on balls in the air is also trending downward. However, Peralta's expected homers indicate his total of eight long balls was deprived of between two and four more, so a return to double digits is plausible. His defense remains around average, and it appears he'll again be the regular left fielder. Drafting Peralta is always a conundrum between a sexy upside play and a stable, but boring late-round compiler. This season, the decision will be a few rounds later, but the thought process is the same.
