2023 Fantasy Outlook
Margot started the season on fire, slashing .348/.412/.500 through 27 games before being put on the IL with a hamstring strain. After a short stay, Margot returned and posted a .256/.316/.344 over his next 24 games, then returned to the IL with a serious knee sprain, costing him another two months. Margot finished the season .240/.276/.318 in 38 games. All told, Margot put together a 106 wRC+ season, his first ever above average but it was clearly driven by an unsustainable start. For the first time since becoming a regular, Margot failed to register double-digit steals, likely due to two injuries to his lower half since five of his seven pilfers came during the first part of the season. As a righthanded hitter, Margot is always a candidate for a platoon, but his strong defense always leads to more playing time. Despite the odd course of last season, Margot is the same player, with some added health risk. Read Past Outlooks

Productive homestand
Margot went 1-for-4 with two RBI on Saturday against the Dodgers.
ANALYSIS
Margot delivered a two-RBI single in the fourth inning, his sixth hit across 21 at-bats during the team's current homestand. He's also delivered five RBI and two runs scored in that six-game stretch. With all of the Rays' outfielders healthy, Margot has been limited to a rotational role against right-handed pitching with a more consistent opportunity against lefties.

Stat Review
How does Manuel Margot 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.

Margot is in the final year of team control before free agency, and has served as a perfect complement to the lefty-heavy outfield both as a platoon partner as well as a regular in the four-man rotation manager Kevin Cash employs to keep everyone fresh. On any other team, Margot would be the best defensive outfielder on the club, yet he is not even in the top two on his own club as the roster stands today. He has the ability to hit for contact and work counts, but otherwise lacks any elite offensive abilities. He has a perpetual green light to steal bases under Cash, but has converted just 68% of those chances with the breakeven point for achieving the benefit of steals at roughly 75%. A potential trade of Kevin Kiermaier would likely have no impact on Margot's plate appearances as such a move would be done to free up time for Vidal Brujan or Josh Lowe more than to turn Margot into something he is not, which is an everyday player.
