2023 Fantasy Outlook
Yastrzemski came on to the league as an older prospect who joined in on the bouncy baseball fun of 2019, but then backed it up with an even better pandemic season in 2020 before coming back to earth each of the past two seasons. San Francisco believes there is at least another season there as they gave him a one-year deal to avoid arbitration rather than non-tender him so he will stay in the bay area to play the strong side of a platoon situation with whatever righty bat the club plugs into play to face lefties. Yaz is rather accepting of his walks and has excellent plate discipline built around some swing and miss as he has struggled with breaking balls each of the past two seasons. His numbers could improve if he could rediscover some of his earlier success against non-fastballs, but the past two seasons have left us wondering if that will ever happen again for him.

Agrees to avoid arbitration
Yastrzemski agreed to a one-year, $6.1 million contract with the Giants on Friday, avoiding arbitration, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Yastrzemski's performance has slipped over the past couple years, but he was still right around league average by wRC+ last season. His struggles against lefties really dragged him down, so Yastrzemski may be shielded from southpaws a bit more in 2023. Regardless, he should still be in the lineup more often than not.

Stat Review
How does Mike Yastrzemski 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
2022
2021
2020
Yastrzemski sat against some southpaws, but 24% of his plate appearances came against lefthanders. In his first two seasons, Yastrzemski hit lefties slightly better, but last season he slashed .170/.254/.259 in that scenario. To be fair, he also slipped versus righthanders, but not to the extent against lefties. Southpaws fed Yastrzemski more breaking balls and off-speed stuff last season and responded with a .088 BABIP compared to over .400 his first two campaigns. Oddly, Yastrzemski's contact and exit velocity were in line with prior season; his BABIP simply cratered. While this bodes well for a rebound, reverting to 2019 and 2020 levels is optimistic. Overall, Yastrzemski's contact and power skills are stable, but he's been subject to batted ball whims. He's also older than many perceive as he'll turn 32-year-old in August. Draft for power, but don't expect a full batting average rebound.
