2023 Fantasy Outlook
Noel has 80-grade raw power. The rest of the profile is pretty shaky, which is why he is still extremely risky despite reaching Triple-A as a 21-year-old. There are similarities to Franmil Reyes and Bobby Bradley, past Guardians sluggers who were cut loose in 2022. He isn't great at making contact in the zone and is even worse at laying off pitches out of the zone. Defensively, Noel is limited to playing a bad first base/left field or slotting in at designated hitter, so he needs to log solid on-base percentages or he won't play. He was young for the levels, but last year's .310 OBP across the three highest levels of the minors won't cut it. Read Past Outlooks

Optioned to Triple-A
Noel was optioned to Triple-A Columbus by the Guardians on Tuesday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Noel, 21, has gone 2-for-15 at the dish in nine games this spring. The young slugger is expected to play left and right field in addition to his natural first base at Columbus this season.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Noel is a very big boy who hits the ball very hard and very far. It wouldn't be unfair to compare him in many ways to org. mate Franmil Reyes, as he may end up sliding all the way to designated hitter and will probably always strike out at fairly high clip, but his mammoth power could carry him to an everyday job. He hit .340/.390/.615 with 19 home runs, a 21.4 K% and a 5.9 BB% in 70 games in his age-19/20 season, primarily at Low-A and High-A. Adept at getting the ball in the air, Noel logged groundball rates below 34% at both levels, and his 33.3 Hard% was excellent for a player his age making his full-season debut. Don't read too much into that .340 batting average -- he had a .421 BABIP at Low-A and figures to strike out at least 25% of the time when he gets to the majors.
