2023 Fantasy Outlook
Jung has been tabbed as the Rangers' third baseman of the future for a couple years now, and after foot and shoulder surgeries delayed his ascent, he finally made his big-league debut at the end of his age-24 season. Drafted eighth overall in 2019 as a hit-over-power corner infielder from Texas Tech, Jung's power has seemingly passed his hit tool as his most impactful skill. He had an elite 42.0 Hard% and a concerning 0.13 BB/K at Triple-A. Predictably, Jung whiffed plenty in the majors (38.2 K%) and didn't walk much (3.9 BB%), but he still got to that plus power in games, hitting five home runs in 102 plate appearances. The Rangers will likely allow Jung to keep playing through reasonable struggles in his first full MLB season. He was hitting in the 4-to-6 range of the lineup down the stretch, so he should have plenty of opportunities to drive in runs. The realistic fantasy upside this season is what we've come to expect from Matt Chapman, but Jung may also go through some prolonged struggles at the plate as a rookie. Read Past Outlooks

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021
2020
When the Rangers selected Jung with the No. 8 overall pick in 2019, he was seen as one of the best pure hitters in the draft, but it was unclear whether he would ever tap into plus power in games. He had success utilizing an oppo-middle approach, but in 2020 the Rangers adjusted his setup to get him ahead of the ball and it unlocked another level for him in the power department. Jung underwent foot surgery in spring training last year, but we saw the fruits of that labor once he got healthy, as he hit .326/.398/.592 with 19 home runs, a 22.2 K% and a 9.1 BB% in 78 games across Double-A and Triple-A. Unfortunately, his big-league debut will probably have to wait until 2023 after he suffered a shoulder injury lifting weights and required surgery in February. Reports suggest he will miss six-to-eight months.
