2023 Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Hayes' power dropped, but his patience improved slightly, and he hit the ball with a little more authority than the previous campaign. A low 28.8% fly ball rate plus a 6.3% HR/FB mark limited Hayes to just six long balls, but if he can loft a few more batted balls while maintaining a 47% hard-hit rate, there's double-digit power in his stick. Hayes' minor league track record indicates he can shave a few points off his 21.8% strikeout rate, boosting production. The key to Hayes' fantasy potential is running as he swiped 20 bags in 25 tries last season, which is in the territory expected to benefit from the new rules. Injuries may have slowed Hayes growth as he dealt with a wrist issue most of 2021, then played through knee, back and shoulder woes last season. The latent power may manifest, but it's best to consider it a bonus and pay for steals with a batting average high enough not to hurt. Read Past Outlooks

Not in Sunday's lineup
Hayes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Hayes is 6-for-21 with an RBI, a run and a stolen base over his past five games but will take a seat for Sunday's series finale. Rodolfo Castro will shift to the hot corner while Ji-hwan Bae starts at second base.

Hayes provided the latest reminder not to get overly hyped about amazing rookie debuts, although not everything was his fault. He hit the majors with aplomb in 2020, and homered in his first at-bat of 2021, which set stretching exercises for a few Twitter victory laps. However, Hayes hurt his wrist in the next game, went on the injured list and did not return until June. His overall season was unsurprisingly disappointing given how critical strong wrists are to hitting. He did continue his running ways from the minors, which will ultimately help hold up his fantasy value. He has yet to homer more than 10 times in a professional season, so the wrist injury can only write off so much regarding the power numbers. He will hit high in a terrible Pittsburgh lineup.
