2023 Fantasy Outlook
Kavadas has as much raw power as anyone in the minors, but he is either going to play poor defense at first base or be the designated hitter, so there is massive pressure on his bat. The 24-year-old lefty masher completely dominated Single-A (186 wRC+) and High-A (186 wRC+) before stumbling to a 103 wRC+ and 40.0 K% in 100 plate appearances at Double-A. He doesn't get any excuses for being around league average at any level of the minors, given his age and defense, so this is close to a make-or-break season for Kavadas. If it all comes together, he could be a high-OBP, 35-homer designated hitter, but it's more likely he strikes out too much to get consistent playing time.

The Angels are expected to call up Kavadas from Triple-A Salt Lake prior to Friday's game against Atlanta, Chuck Freeby of Sports Michiana reports.
ANALYSIS
Kavadas was acquired from the Red Sox in the Luis Garcia trade last month. The 25-year-old is known for his power and his strikeouts, having popped 19 home runs with a 33.9 percent strikeout rate this season at the Triple-A level. Kavadas will likely take over as the Angels' designated hitter versus righties after Willie Calhoun was designated for assignment.
