2023 Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Ozuna sat out most of 2021 with an injury and also served a suspension for violating MLB's domestic violence policy, but he returned to the fold for Atlanta in 2022 and played in 124 games. The veteran slugger clubbed 23 home runs but failed to hit with any consistency and had a .226/.274/.413 slash line. The power is clearly still there, but his strikeout rate (24.1 percent) and walk rate (6.2 percent) were near the worst figures of his big-league career. He should see most of his action at designated hitter given his poor and still-declining outfield defense, but William Contreras is also in that mix for Atlanta after broke out with 20 homers and an .860 OPS last season. Now entering his age-32 campaign, Ozuna remains under contract for $16 million in 2023 and 2024 and should at least see semi-regular playing time, but he may not be in the lineup every day, and his inconsistency makes him a volatile fantasy option, albeit with some upside given his previous success.

Slugs first spring homer
Ozuna went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Twins.
ANALYSIS
He took Kenta Maeda deep in the third inning, giving Ozuna his first homer of the spring. The 32-year-old slugger is gaining momentum at the plate as Opening Day approaches, and he's now batting .270 (10-for-37) this spring, with half of his hits going for extra bases.

Ozuna was arrested May 29 of last year after police officers in Sandy Springs, Georgia, while responding to a 911 call, witnessed Ozuna attacking his wife. A felony charge was later dropped and Ozuna entered a diversion program in September. If he meets the resolution's conditions within six months, the misdemeanor charges stemming from the incident will be dropped, per the Fulton County DA. Major League Baseball suspended Ozuna in November, retroactive to Sept. 10, meaning he's already served the ban while he was on administrative leave. The expectation is that Ozuna will be back in Atlanta in 2022.
