2023 Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
2022 was a mixed bag of fantasy success for Chapman. He made the adjustment from Oakland to Toronto, and an eight-percentage point reduction in his strikeout rate helped him raise his batting average 19 points last season. Yet, he still hit 14 points below the league average and simply replicated his home run total from the previous season when many were expecting a Rogers Centre boost to his homers away from O.co Coliseum. On the plus side, he once again avoided the IL as he has done for three of the past four seasons but even hitting .250 in a season appears to be a distant memory for him as he has not done so now in four seasons. He still makes excellent hard contact and could potentially benefit from the new shifting rules as his wOBA against the shift fell 103 points when he changed divisions. It would be foolish to expect a full rebound in that area as a well-positioned second baseman next to the bag still has a fighter's chance of stopping anything up the middle. He would hit higher in a less talented lineup as he did in Oakland, but that is not likely to happen in Toronto in 2023. Read Past Outlooks

Locking in at plate
Chapman went 1-for-3 with a double in Friday's split-squad game against the Phillies.
ANALYSIS
The third baseman seems to have found his timing at the plate, going 6-for-22 (.273) over his last eight games with three doubles and a 2:2 BB:K. Chapman's still looking for his first spring homer, but hitting for power hasn't been an issue for the 29-year-old during his career. With free agency looming next winter, Chapman has plenty of incentive to put together a big 2023 after posting a .757 OPS last year with 27 home runs and 76 RBI.

Stat Review
How does Matt Chapman 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.

Chapman missed the second half of the abbreviated 2020 season after undergoing surgery to repair a torn hip labrum. While he continued to flourish defensively in 2021 -- he took home his third Rawlings Gold Glove at the hot corner -- his struggles on the other side of the ball make it hard to not wonder if he was still experiencing discomfort in his hip. After seeing his K% drop in both 2018 and 2019, Chapman endured ugly swing-and-miss numbers for the second year in a row. His 202 strikeouts set an Athletics franchise record and left him behind only Joey Gallo for the major-league lead. Despite his struggles making contact, however, Chapman was still able to log 27 home runs and a career-high 80 walks while slashing .210/.314/.403. Fantasy owners can expect the 28-year-old's elite defense to keep him in the lineup everyday, and if he's able to cut down substantially on his strikeout numbers, Chapman still possesses an offensive ceiling that could be worth taking a flyer on in 2022.
