2023 Fantasy Outlook
Despite a two-week IL stint with a cracked rib, Betts parlayed a career high 47.7% fly ball rate into 35 homers, a personal best. The downside was a lower BABIP for the fourth straight season as Betts uppercut swing decreased his groundball exit velocity which torpedoed his groundball BABIP. However, a low 16.3% strikeout rate limited damage, allowing Betts to register a 144 wRC+, the third best of his career. Betts sprint speed fell to 49th percentile, but he still collected double-digit pilfers for the eighth straight campaign. In his salad days, Betts was one of, if not the top fantasy batter, worthy of the top overall pick. Less durability, a lower average and fewer steals have conspired to keep him out of that discussion, but he's still in the first-round chat. Since 2016, no one has scored more runs than Betts. Hitting at or near the top of a potent lineup should keep that intact. Read Past Outlooks

Could gain 2B eligibility
Betts could play more at second base in 2023, Jayson Stark of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
He loves playing second base, per manager Dave Roberts, and that could make the lineup fit better if the Dodgers were to sign Aaron Judge this offseason. Betts played seven games at second base in 2022, so it's possible he could gain second base eligibility in-season even if the Dodgers don't sign Judge.

Stat Review
How does Mookie Betts 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.

Betts was slashing .256/.366/.472 at the break, but his first half was marred with April back and forearm woes, May shoulder soreness and a June bout with stomach flu. After the break, Betts lost a month with two IL stints for a sore hip, later diagnosed as bone spurs, but he hit a more representative .280/.369/.516 over the second half. Through it all, Betts' contact, power and batted-balls metrics mimicked previous seasons, but a steep drop to 53rd percentile sprint speed dampened steals while also costing a few BABIP points. Betts received a cortisone injection during his second IL stint and has reportedly been pain-free since. Barring a recurrence, no surgery is planned. All signs point toward a return to form, which has traditionally been among the best, with two season as the top fantasy player on Betts' ledger. There will be a moderate discount, but there is also risk of his bone spur barking again.
