2025 Fantasy Outlook
Manzardo got his feet wet at the major-league level last season and seemed to hit his stride in September, slashing .270/.333/.540 with five home runs in 69 plate appearances. He then clubbed another homer while posting an .842 OPS in 19 trips to the dish during the postseason. The 24-year-old put up double-digit walk rates and sub-20 percent strikeout rates consistently in the minors, so improvement from last year's 26.3 percent strikeout rate and 5.8 percent walk rate seems likely. Manzardo has also always been an extreme fly ball hitter and that held true with the Guardians with a 53.3 percent fly ball rate. Progressive Field is a below average park for left-handed power and Manzardo's raw pop is merely solid, but he should settle in as a 20-25 homer bat. Designated hitter looks to be Manzardo's path to regular at-bats and he will enter 2025 with DH-only eligibility on most fantasy platforms. Read Past Outlooks

Stat Review
How does Kyle Manzardo 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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
It was a roller coaster of a 2023 season for Manzardo, but the dust has settled and he has a chance to compete for a spot in Cleveland's Opening Day lineup. The 23-year-old first baseman/designated hitter came into the year widely considered one of the best pure hitters in the minors. He set new career exit velocity highs (112 mph), but through his first 73 games Manzardo logged an unlucky .238/.342/.442 line that was below average (95 wRC+) in the International League. He was dealing with an off-field issue related to the health of a family member, so his mind understandably may not have always been on baseball. Manzardo, who missed time in the middle of the season with a shoulder injury, was traded at the deadline from the Rays to the Guardians in exchange for Aaron Civale. It was a positive move for his fantasy value, as he pretty clearly profiles as Josh Naylor's long-term 1B/DH counterpart, whereas Tampa Bay is still crowded. Manzardo mashed after the trade (six home runs, .333 ISO, 15.2 K%) in 21 games at Triple-A and also slugged over .500 in the Arizona Fall League. As things stand, Manzardo figures to compete for the big-league roster this spring. He is traditionally much better against righties than lefties, so whenever he makes his big-league debut, it could be on the strong side of a platoon.
