2023 Fantasy Outlook
Longoria's debut was delayed a month after surgery on a ligament in his index finger. After playing through shoulder and hamstring soreness, Longoria was felled by an oblique injury, costing him a 10-day IL stint. After returning, it didn't take Longoria long to suffer a Grade 1 hamstring sprain, requiring another IL stint. Fittingly, Longoria missed the last few games with a fractured thumb. In between the injuries, he posted a 115 wRC+ and a 47% Hard Hit rate, so there is still some juice left in Longoria's bat. However, he did fan at a career high 28% clip while exhibiting below average defense. Longoria is clearly in the twilight of his career so he's probably looking at a platoon job with a lefty-heavy Diamondbacks lineup. Even if he does secure a starting gig, health is a problem and his skills aren't worth stashing, so he's only viable in leagues with a separate IL. Read Past Outlooks

Joining D-backs
Longoria (thumb) agreed to a one-year contract with the Diamondbacks on Friday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Despite being one of the older players in the game, Longoria still managed to put together a respectable 2022 campaign. He slashed .244/.315/.451 through 298 plate appearances with San Francisco, with a few IL stints mixed in throughout the season. He will likely split time at third base with Josh Rojas and get the nod to start whenever the D-backs face a lefty on the mound.

Stat Review
How does Evan Longoria 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.

Longoria dealt with shoulder and hand injuries that limited him to 291 PA in 2021. When on the field, Longoria reversed a trend of four consecutive seasons of average to below-average production with the bat. His vintage performance appeared to be spurred by strong discipline, as Longoria's overall swing rate dipped to a career-low 42.3%, yet his zone-swing rate jumped to a near career-high 67.5%. The result was his highest walk rate (12%) since 2011 and only his second season with an ISO above .200 (.221) since 2014. It is worth noting that the majority of Longoria's production came against left-handed pitching, as he connected for six home runs and a .318 ISO with the handedness advantage. Given the way the Giants aggressively platoon their bats, Longoria could enter into a time share at third base with right handers on the mound and his cleanest path to a full season of at-bats could be with the addition of a designated hitter in the National League.
