2023 Fantasy Outlook
Escobar signed a two-year, $20 million deal with the Mets in November 2021, and he delivered a down year during his first season in New York. It was a tale of two halves for the veteran infielder, as he posted a .676 OPS prior to the All-Star break and an .825 OPS during the second half. In total he finished 2022 with a .240/.295/.430 slash line, 20 home runs and 69 RBI, with it being the fifth straight full season in which he's hit at least 20 long balls. His 23.8 percent strikeout rate was the worst of his career, though he also had the highest hard-hit rate (37.4 percent) of his career. Escobar hasn't shown a notable decline entering his age-34 season and should be a solid, if unexciting, option at third base for fantasy managers in 2023. Read Past Outlooks

Escobar makes a move to Queens having signed a two-year deal with the Mets in November after stops in Arizona and Milwaukee. The veteran infielder has been productive into his early 30s, posting above-average wRC+ marks in each of his last three full seasons. His 2020 was a down year, but it was a sample of 222 plate appearances, and he bounced back to the tune of 28 homers and a .786 OPS. Escobar should start at third base for the Mets, but he may hit in the lower third of a suddenly deep lineup, which could have an impact on his counting stats. Still, Escobar should provide solid power with a decent average at a pick coming after the first 10 rounds of drafts. Third base is rather shallow this year and there is usually a tier drop at the position after Escobar.
