2024 Fantasy Outlook
Acuna was pretty clearly blocked long term in Texas, so a trade was welcomed, but things are still somewhat crowded long term in New York, where he was sent at the deadline for Max Scherzer straight up. One of Ronald Acuna's younger brothers, Luisangel is a 5-foot-8 middle infielder whose game is closer to that of Tommy Edman's than his big brother. His bloodlines are most evident in his bat speed and athleticism, but he needs all of that bat speed to generate his potential 10-15 homer power. He swiped 57 bases on 67 attempts in 121 games at Double-A, and that speed will be the ticket to his long-term fantasy relevance. Acuna was much better (.315/.377/.453, .138 ISO) before the trade than he was after it (.243/.317/.304, .061 ISO), but a lot of that difference can be attributed to a 93-point BABIP dip (.381 to .288) and him moving from the neutral park in Frisco to one of the worst Double-A parks for power in Binghamton. Acuna, who is on the 40-man roster, could be competing long term with Ronny Mauricio and Jett Williams for playing time, although Mauricio's knee surgery and Williams' inexperience make Acuna the best bet for 2024.

Goes yard again Saturday
Acuna went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and a solo home run in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Phillies.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old has been on fire since getting promoted last weekend, batting .385 (10-for-26) in his first eight big-league games with six extra-base hits, including three homers. Acuna's power display is especially impressive considering he hit only seven home runs in 131 games at Triple-A this season. Francisco Lindor (back) should return to the lineup any day now and reclaim the starting job at shortstop, but with a playoff spot on the line, the Mets could keep Acuna's red-hot bat in the lineup at another position.

Stat Review
How does Luisangel Acuna 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
2023
2021
2020
Acuna was quite fortunate (.416 BABIP, 58.6 GB%) in 54 games at High-A and unlucky (.274 BABIP) in 37 games at Double-A while improving the quality of his contact (48.6 GB%) and cutting his strikeout rate from 25% to 21.3%. His .278/.367/.425 season line is an accurate representation of how he performed on the whole, and it was enough to punch his ticket to the 40-man roster this offseason as Rule 5 draft protection. Acuna packs a punch in a small package and is shorter and probably lighter than his listed 5-foot-10, 181 pounds. That's not to say he will approach big brother Ronald's power output, but Luisangel isn't a zero in the power department. He stole 40 bases and was caught nine times, and it's fair to assume he will run as much as he can in the majors. Unfortunately, while Acuna can make some flashy plays at shortstop, he might fit better at second base, where there would be more pressure on his bat. Corey Seager, Marcus Semien and Josh Jung are a pretty clear-cut infield of the future at the positions Acuna can play, so he may need to break in as a utility player.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could stick on playoff roster
Acuna could remain on the Mets' roster for the NLCS despite the expected return of Jeff McNeil from a fractured wrist, per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com.
ANALYSIS
Acuna seemed to be the likely odd man out with just two at-bats through six playoff games, but the club values his speed and defensive ability as a bench piece. Adam Ottavino and Danny Young have yet to pitch in the postseason, and one of those relievers is likely to be the roster casualty should Acuna retain his spot.
