2023 Fantasy Outlook
Many were slow to adjust expectations on Luciano, even when he did his best in 2021 to show us that he was a future three-category masher, rather than a four- or five-category star. It was more of the same in 2022, although he was limited to 57 games at High-A due to a lower-back strain and a minor leg injury. Luciano's max exit velocity and 90th percentile exit velocity are elite, and while he will likely always have an elevated strikeout rate, his damage on impact should be sufficient for him to specialize in run production. If it weren't for Luciano's exit velocities, it would be pretty easy to project Matt Chapman caliber fantasy production at shortstop or third base, but there's still a chance he could be a notch above that level. A newly-added member of the Giants' 40-man roster, Luciano should spend most, if not all of 2023 at Double-A. Read Past Outlooks

Shielded from Rule 5 draft
Luciano was added to the Giants' 40-man roster Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Luciano spent most of the 2022 campaign with High-A Eugene, though he also joined Double-A Richmond for their postseason. The 21-year-old had a .263/.339/.459 slash line in 57 games at High-A and could keep advancing in 2023.

2019
For the first time since June of 2019, Luciano is not a top-15 prospect for dynasty leagues. He even climbed inside the top five a few times, but that exuberance appears to have been premature. The tool that has made him so appealing, 70-grade raw power, remains. The hope had always been that he could be an Eloy Jimenez type of offensive producer at shortstop (elite in four categories). However, it's looking less and less likely that he will be a positive contributor in batting average. He spent most of the year at Low-A, where he had the most success, and also got in 20-plus games at High-A and the Arizona Fall League. All told, he had a 27.8 K% and 11.0 BB%, but if we isolate his time at High-A and the AFL, he logged a 35.3 K% and 9.1 BB% in 232 plate appearances. Players have struck out at similar clips at stops along the way to the majors and gone on to have very productive big-league careers, but players don't strike out that often over a significant sample, even when young for a level, and go on to become superstars. Luciano won't help with stolen bases, and while he could still hit 35 homers annually at shortstop, it would be a relief at this point if it came with a .250 batting average.
