2023 Fantasy Outlook
Coming out of the break, Devers .324/.379/.602 was pacing for a career-best year. He then spent 10 days on the IL with a sore hamstring. After returning, Devers was unable to recapture form, posting a .248/.325/.383 line the rest of the way. Other than the 1.5-mph drop in fly ball exit velocity, Devers underlying skills weren't much different over the second half, but his BABIP dropped from .353 to .289. For the season, Devers still managed a career-best 140 wRC+, but a drop in homers and a less potent Red Sox lineup resulted in fewer than 90 runs and 90 RBI. Devers eclipsed the century mark in both in each of the prior two full seasons. Devers defense remained below average, but he showed signs of improvement. Still just 26-year-old, Devers best season is probably yet to come. He doesn't run, but Devers crushes the rest of the categories. He may not be first round material, but he's in the discussion.

Inks long-term deal with Red Sox
Devers agreed to an 10-year, $313.5 million contract extension with the Red Sox on Wednesday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Devers avoided arbitration with Boston on Tuesday by signing a one-year, $17.5 million deal. Although the two sides appeared to be far apart on a long-term contract, they managed to reach an agreement a day later. Devers' deal is the richest in Red Sox history and the largest contract for a third baseman in MLB history. The 26-year-old has been named an All-Star in the last two seasons, and he slashed .287/.355/.530 with 65 home runs, 201 RBI, 185 runs and eight stolen bases while playing 297 games across those campaigns.

Stat Review
How does Rafael Devers 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.

While he arrived there a little differently, Devers essentially matched 2019's breakthrough campaign, posting a 134 wRC+, two ticks higher than in 2019. Devers hit for a higher average two years ago, but last season he set a new career best with 38 homers. Hitting flyballs at a greater frequency and with a career-high avgEV fueled the spike. Devers recorded a career-low 36.1% chase rate, though it was still five points above league average. However, he was a bit more aggressive within the zone, showing signs of maturing plate discipline. Defense remains a huge issue as Devers' -13 defensive runs saved was by far the worst mark at the hot corner, though it appears a position change is at least a year away. Devers doesn't run enough to be an elite fantasy batter, but he checks all the other boxes: durability, great home park, solid lineup and young enough to get better. Draft with confidence.
