2023 Fantasy Outlook
There are contextual factors (quad injury in May, .226 BABIP) that didn't help Matos, but there's no denying his 2022 season was among the most disappointing by a top prospect. Always young yet advanced for his levels, there was nothing in Matos' profile to suggest he might struggle at High-A, but he slashed .211/.275/.344 with a 74 wRC+ and a 31.9 Soft%. Amid all the struggles, his 16.0 K% and ability to hit 11 homers and steal 11 bases in 91 games show there are still skills to work with. The hitter-friendly Arizona Fall League seemed like a great chance for Matos to end the year on a high note, but he had a .640 OPS with 20 strikeouts and two home runs in 22 games. He is only entering his age-21 season, so it's still early, but it's currently tough to see much more realistic upside than a Manuel Margot type of outfielder who plays a bunch and compiles unspectacular counting stats.

Joining 40-man roster
Matos was added to the Giants' 40-man roster Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
The 20-year-old dealt with a quad injury and endured a rough season in 2022 with a .619 OPS, 11 home runs, 43 RBI and 11 stolen bases in 91 games with High-A Eugene. Matos is still one of San Francisco's better prospects, so the organization decided to protect him from being potentially selected during the upcoming Rule 5 draft.

2020
Matos lived up to the hype in his full-season debut. A top-30 prospect for dynasty leagues before playing his first game at Low-A, the lean, athletic outfielder hit .313/.358/.494 with 15 home runs, 21 steals (on 26 attempts) and an elite 12.4 K% in 109 games as one of the youngest hitters at the level. It's unusual for a teenager to make contact at such a high clip in full-season ball, but to do so while also hitting for notable power is quite rare. Matos' batted-ball profile wasn't exquisite (52.3 Pull%, 19.4 LD%, 30.4 IFFB%), and it's clear that he is an aggressive hitter who was able to get by on rare talent among his peer group -- something that might not translate, at least initially, against more advanced pitchers. However, the fact that he is already checking so many important boxes should leave dynasty-league managers quite bullish on Matos heading into his age-20 season.
