Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Outman turned into a must-start fantasy player during his rookie season in 2023. There were some warning signs, though, most notably a 31.9 percent strikeout rate and a .665 OPS with just one home run versus left-handed pitching. That said, even skeptics probably didn't see his rapid downfall in 2024 coming, as Outman found himself back in the minors by mid-May following a dreadful .147/.250/.266 start to the season. He predictably crushed Triple-A pitching (.933 OPS), but Outman never really got another look with the Dodgers, receiving just 32 plate appearances over the rest of the season after his demotion. The power/speed combo is still there, but Outman will turn 28 in May and might need an injury or two to get another shot at regular at-bats with the Dodgers. Read Past Outlooks

Smacks pinch hit homer
Outman went 1-for-2 with two runs scored and a three-run home run in Wednesday's 10-1 win over the Marlins.
ANALYSIS
Outman pinch hit for Max Muncy in the seventh hitting, with the former drawing a walk before being brought home on a Hyeseong Kim RBI single. Outman added to the Dodgers' lead in the ninth inning with a three-run homer to center field. It was his first major-league home run of the season, and the 27-year-old outfielder should continue to see playing time in the outfield while Teoscar Hernandez (adductor) is on the 10-day injured list.

Stat Review
How does James Outman 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.

Erik Halterman takes a look at three major mistakes he made in last year's Tout Wars NL-Only league in an attempt to avoid the same pitfalls this season.

Todd Zola explains how projected playing time and a skills-based approach helps him identify upside plays late in a draft, as well as leading him to put Aaron Judge at the top of his personal rankings.
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Outman began the season on the busier side of a center field platoon, but it wasn't long before the rookie became an everyday player, appearing in 151 contests. The lefty swinger still must hit for more power facing southpaws, as evidenced by his .254/.357/.308 line, but a 246/.351/.484 effort facing right-handers landed Outman third in the NL Rookie of the Year voting. Outman stole 16 bases in 19 tries, for an 84 percent success rate, which could lead to being given the green light more this season. Strikeouts are Outman's primary concern since his 44th percentile hard-hit rate doesn't support maintaining the .343 BABIP Outman registered last season. He doesn't chase much, but when he swings at pitches out of the zone, his contact rate is terrible. This is fixable, especially since Outman's walk rate is above average, but he's a batting average liability until he can demonstrate more contact. This restricts him to the lower half of the Dodgers order, but with his power and speed combination, and the potency of the lineup, Outman is still a strong mixed league asset, just don't pay for upside that may not immediately manifest.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Could join big-league roster
Pages is joining the Dodgers as a member of the taxi squad ahead of Tuesday's game in Miami, reports Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old is joining the big club as potential outfield depth after Teoscar Hernandez suffered a hamstring injury during Monday's series opener. Outman has spent the first month-plus of the campaign with Triple-A Oklahoma City and has an .830 OPS with eight homers and five steals in 32 games, but he also has a 36.3 percent strikeout rate. Hernandez is undergoing an MRI on Tuesday, which could dictate whether a trip to the injured list is necessary.
