2023 Fantasy Outlook
Haniger had a monster season in 2021 two years ahead of free agency, but he followed that up with the kind of year which reminded us of his fragility as he headed into free agency missing over 100 games with a high ankle sprain after fouling a ball off his instep in late June. The pre-injury numbers were mostly in line with non-2021 efforts but not the type of season a 31-year old pending free agent wanted to hit the open market with on his resume. The Giants still saw a clear everyday middle-of-the-order hitter, giving Haniger a three-year $43.5 million deal, and the fact that he is a righty on that type of deal should lock in playing time even on the platoon-happy Giants. It's actually a park upgrade for Haniger, as Oracle Park ranks as a slightly above-average park for righty hitters (per Baseball Savant), while T-Mobile Park in Seattle ranks second-worst for righties.

Inks deal with San Francisco
Haniger agreed to a three-year, $43.5 million contract with the Giants on Tuesday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
San Francisco's pursuit of Aaron Judge has understandably garnered most of the attention, but the organization was first able to secure a deal with Haniger to bolster its outfield. Haniger was limited to 57 games for Seattle last season due to a high-ankle sprain, but he provided a solid bat when healthy with a .246/.308/.429 slash line. The 31-year-old was also productive in 2021 with an .803 OPS, 39 home runs and 100 RBI in 157 contests. The contract includes an opt-out after the 2024 campaign, according to Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area, so it could end up being a two-year pact if Haniger performs well with the Giants.

Stat Review
How does Mitch Haniger 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.

Haniger went from feelings of torture to euphoria over the past two seasons. His 2019 season ended when he fouled a fastball off his unprotected family jewels in early June. His recovery was anything but smooth and sports hernia surgery led to him missing 2020, which made his 2021 season all the more amazing. Many players have career years at certain ages or after certain amounts of MLB exposure, but to have one after missing 1.5 seasons is truly incredible. The counting category production was league-winning for many considering where Haniger went in most drafts last year, yet his batting average and OBP numbers were both sharply lower than where he was in 2017 and 2018. Sure, he strikes out a little more and walks a bit less, but Haniger lacks some of the elite batted-ball rankings that other sluggers with his counting numbers show. Expect a tilt back to 2018 levels while admiring how special 2021 was for him.
