2023 Fantasy Outlook
Despite a two-week IL stint with a cracked rib, Betts parlayed a career high 47.7 percent 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 percent 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 the best, if not the top, fantasy batters, 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. Him hitting at or near the top of a potent lineup should keep that intact. Read Past Outlooks

Homers twice again
Betts went 4-for-4 with two home runs, three RBI and one steal in Friday's 8-4 win over the Yankees.
ANALYSIS
After wrapping up May with a two-homer night Wednesday, Betts did it again with two more big flies Friday, bringing his season total to 15. He could push for 40 homers, a feat he has never accomplished, if he stays on this pace. His .551 slugging percentage is the third-highest mark of his career, behind the shortened 2020 season and his monster 2018 campaign. Betts has not capitalized on the new rules designed to boost the running game, as he has just three steals on the season. However, he still seems a decent bet to reach double figures for the ninth straight year.

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.
