2023 Fantasy Outlook
After an encouraging 2021, Straw's 2022 line left a sour taste in the mouth. He failed to hit a home run in 596 plate appearances, and he slashed just .221/.291/.273. He still boasts solid plate discipline after posting a 9.2 percent walk rate and career-best 14.6 strikeout rate, and the speed remained prevalent with 21 stolen bases and a 94th percentile sprint speed (per Statcast). The big problem with Straw now is that he was seemingly surpassed by Steven Kwan for the leadoff spot -- Straw hit mainly ninth for the last four months of the campaign. The Guardians aren't short on outfield prospects that could provide a more well-rounded game, though his defense and his contract should keep him involved in the team's plans. It's a null point if he can bat .250 and get on base at a .325 clip, but year-to-year consistency hasn't been his strong suit. Read Past Outlooks

Getting day off
Straw is not in the Guardians' lineup for Tuesday's game versus the White Sox.
ANALYSIS
Chicago is throwing tough righty Dylan Cease, so it's not a bad time for a rare day off for Straw. Will Brennan will slide over to center field and Gabriel Arias will play right.

Stat Review
How does Myles Straw 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.

It was tough to know what to think of Straw coming into the season after he struggled in 2020 (.500 OPS, .049 ISO). Straw was on everyone's fantasy radar after stealing 72 bases in 2018, but he wouldn't stay in the majors with a .500 OPS. He answered the call by raising his OBP and SLG by 100 points to post a .700 OPS. It would be nice if he hit a bit better, but it was enough to stay in the lineup in order to steal 30 bases and score 86 runs while playing for Houston and Cleveland. As long he continues to hit, the stolen bases should continue and there is the chance he develops some more power. A sub-.100 ISO and 2.5% HR/FB will limit his upside. He might be that best late source of stolen bases for fantasy managers with certain team builds, but he comes with the risk of reverting to his 2020 self. If a manager needs Straw for stolen bases, they've backed themselves into a corner in the draft.
