2023 Fantasy Outlook
Fortes saw his first extended action in the majors last season and had a .230/.304/.392 slash line in 72 games. He hit nine home runs and stole five bases, the latter of which is surprising given he entered the campaign with just eight steals in his professional career. Fortes should open 2023 in a backup role behind Jacob Stallings, but he could see a larger share of playing time if Stallings continues to struggle after he posted a .584 OPS in 2022.
