2023 Fantasy Outlook
Has the ship sailed for Olivares? He was up and down between Triple-A and the majors so much in 2021 they made a rule to restrict the number of times a player can be optioned in a given season. It appeared he might finally get a long look in 2022, but Olivares was in and out of the lineup before landing on the injured list with a right quadriceps strain. He later strained his left quad, necessitating another trip to the IL. All told, Olivares played in 53 games for the Royals last season, batting a healthy .286 with four homers and two steals across 174 plate appearances. He has legitimate pop and has stolen as many as 35 bases in the minor leagues. Plus, the outfielder is still just entering his age-27 season. That being said, it's difficult to tell where he stands in the organization right now. Both Dayton Moore and Mike Matheny are gone, but that does not necessarily mean Olivares will be turned loose in an everyday role. Read Past Outlooks
Not standing out in spring
Olivares is hitting .240 (6-for-25) over 11 Cactus League games.
ANALYSIS
Olivares hasn't been that impressive in the spring. His lone RBI came on a solo home run, and he's added one stolen base on two attempts. Despite the pedestrian hitting, Olivares is projected to start in right field Opening Day, though he could be challenged for his starting job once Drew Waters (oblique) is cleared to make his debut.

Stat Review
How does Edward Olivares 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
2020
Olivares broke camp with the Royals as a reserve outfielder, but playing time is likely to be scarce to begin with. The 26-year-old impressed with a .313/.397/.559 slash line in 66 games with Triple-A Omaha last season. He wasn't able to translate that success to the big leagues, where he hit .238/.291/.406 in 39 games. There's still room for him to grow, but getting a foot in the door for playing time figures to be his biggest challenge. Olivares has a good speed tool, notching at 47 steals in 193 games at the upper levels of the minors -- he'll likely be called upon as a pinch runner regularly in 2022.
