2023 Fantasy Outlook
In most organizations, a player with Diaz's limited physical tools and defensive utility would be an afterthought in fantasy. However, as one of the best pure hitters in an Oakland system that is severely lacking in young big-league-ready position players, he is worth taking a look at. It's kind of a Jose Miranda type of profile. Diaz got more starts at designated hitter than anywhere else in the minors last year while playing more at the keystone in the majors, which is where he will be eligible in fantasy entering the year. He hit .326/.366/.515 with a 14.4 K% and 5.3 BB% as a 21-year-old across Double-A and Triple-A. Diaz's Triple-A output is greatly helped by the hitter-friendly conditions of the Pacific Coast League, but his contact skill immediately translated in the majors (13.7 K%). Obviously he is better in AVG leagues than OBP leagues, and there is no speed to speak of, but Diaz should play a lot for the A's this season as long as he hits for a modicum of power.

Sent to minors
The Athletics optioned Diaz to Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Though Diaz displayed impressive contact skills during his time at Las Vegas and Double-A Midland in 2022 and even acquitted himself well during his brief run in the big leagues late last season, the Athletics will have the 22-year-old open 2023 in the minors and afford him the chance to play regularly. Since he lacks major power and doesn't contribute as a base stealer, Diaz's fantasy upside isn't particularly high, but his stellar hit tool may be enough to earn him steady playing time in the majors at some point in 2023.
