2023 Fantasy Outlook
Despite putting together his best season with a 104 wRC+, Arcia was limited to just 68 games. He played sparingly at first but took over at second base when Ozzie Albies broke his foot in mid-June. Arcia then lost playing time to Robinson Cano. He also missed three weeks in August with a hamstring issue. Arcia's improved production was fueled by a 2.5-mph uptick in average exit velocity in tandem with hitting more flyballs. Other than in 2019 with Milwaukee, Arcia has been a utility player, capable of filling in for an injured player when needed. He's ticketed for a similar role this season, precluding him from mixed league relevance. However, with the ability to play all four infield positions and left field in a pinch, Arcia will compile ample playing time to be a factor in NL-only formats. Read Past Outlooks

Agrees to three-year extension
Arcia agreed Thursday with Atlanta on a three-year, $7.3 million contract extension with a $2 million club option for 2026, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Arcia was named Atlanta's starting shortstop last week and now has a new deal. He had been under contract for $1.3 million in 2023 with a $2 million club option for 2024, but the extension wipes those years out and adds on potentially two more. Arcia might ultimately just be keeping the shortstop seat warm for Vaughn Grissom or Braden Shewmake, but he has the versatility to bounce around and transition to a utility role.

Stat Review
How does Orlando Arcia 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.

The high point of Arcia's 2022 may have just been the fact he was slated as the starting first baseman on paper for Atlanta during the lockout. Atlanta has a giant vacuum at first base with Freddie Freeman testing the free agent waters, leaving Arcia as the leading in-house candidate. He signed a two-year deal for $3 million just before the lockout began and should stick with the club as a reserve given he is out of options and would need to be exposed to waivers. He twice saw regular duty for Milwaukee in recent years with 2017 serving as his high-water mark for fantasy production with 16 homers and 14 steals. He is final-round-of-the-reserves material in NL-only formats or the final few rounds in a draft and hold format.
