2023 Fantasy Outlook
Gallo was essentially run out of New York last season as a result of posting a .621 OPS and a massive 38.8 percent strikeout rate over 82 games with the Yankees. A move to Los Angeles provided a less stressful environment for the slugger, but the results weren't much better, as Gallo's OPS ticked up to a still-poor .671 and his strikeout rate was even more atrocious at 41.6 percent. A glance at the slugger's muscular frame helps explain why teams can be drawn in by his power, and Gallo did manage to slug 19 homers last season despite his massive struggles. That said, he's failed to hit above the Mendoza line in each of his past three campaigns and is extremely unlikely to turn around his career-long issues making contact, though he was still able to nab a one-year, $11 million contract from the Twins. Perhaps the new MLB rules banning the shift will help perk up Gallo's numbers, and it bears remembering that he blasted 38 bombs with a barrel rate in the 98th percentile just two years ago. He's going to go cheap in 2023 fantasy drafts, so just keep him in mind if you've built a squad that can stomach exchanging the batting-average drain for his power potential. Read Past Outlooks

Bound for injured list
Gallo was placed on the 10-day injured list with a strained hamstring Saturday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Gallo has largely looked like the good version of himself this season, with patience and power getting him to a 121 wRC+ despite his .188 average and 37.6 percent strikeout rate. He's also battled multiple injuries, however, as this is already his second trip to the injured list following a brief absence due to a right intercostal strain in April. Kyle Garlick was recalled to take his place on the roster.

Stat Review
How does Joey Gallo 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.

Depending on the format, Gallo ranges from completely useless in fantasy baseball (roto leagues scoring batting average or leagues counting strikeouts) to bonafide stud (roto leagues scoring OBP). Gallo is a three-true-outcomes player. Last season, he led the league with 59% of his plate appearances ending with a strikeout, walk or home run. He has been this same player since being promoted to the majors back in 2015. This past season he had his largest split between his average and on-base percentage at 151 points. The BA could be a killer in a roto league. While 40 homers are on the table every season, he only provides a half dozen steals or so at best. The power will eventually deteriorate, though nothing currently in his profile points to the home runs going away.
