2023 Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
After playing in a career-high 147 games the prior season, Hampson dropped to just 90 appearances last year. Part of the drop was due to injury, but it was mostly ineffectiveness, especially in the power department. Hampson hit grounders at a career-high 49% clip, while hitting the balls he lofted with less authority. His strikeout rate also ticked up from 2021. The only positive was 12 steals in 14 attempts. Those perpetually taking a chance Hampson parlays playing at Coors Field into cheap power and speed will need to find a new target after the Rockies severed ties. Hampson's speed and defensive versatility will likely land him a job in a reserve capacity, but a high strikeout rate and minimal power detract from his fantasy charm. He'll have to earn a roster spot in spring training after he signed with Miami as a non-roster invitee. Read Past Outlooks

Settles for minors deal with Fish
Hampson agreed to a minor-league contract with the Marlins on Sunday that includes an invitation to spring training, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The righty-hitting utility player can play center field, shortstop and second base. Hampson was once a highly touted fantasy prospect due to his minor-league steals totals and elite foot speed, but his bat has never been up to scratch. He hit .228 with a .288 OBP, 18 home runs and 35 steals in 290 games over the past three seasons (ages 25-27), which should have been his early prime years. Hampson is essentially a one-category (steals) player when he is playing regularly, which may not happen again without injuries ahead of him on the Marlins' depth chart.

Stat Review
How does Garrett Hampson 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.

Hampson keeps enticing fantasy managers into rostering him, but maybe the Rockies will save those managers from themselves this season, having signed Jose Iglesias to take over at shortstop. The allure was tied mostly to power and speed from a player with half his starts coming in Colorado. He does steal bases when playing, but by season's end, he wasn't regularly in the lineup and it looks like that will be the case to begin 2022. Like most other hitters in Colorado, he is decent at home (.272/.312/.429) and unplayable on the road (.209/.284/.338). He's lucky that he's on the Rockies because he figures to at least stick on the roster. He'd be a cut candidate on most other teams following three straight seasons with an OPS below .700. To his credit, Hampson posted a career-low 23.9 K% last season, while his 87.0 mph avgEV was a career high. There is nothing else to get excited about. Stream him during his home games if he's starting.
