2023 Fantasy Outlook
Mountcastle's numbers don't express it, but he sported better skills than the previous season, but was shortchanged between six and nine homers, depending on which xHR mark is trusted. Looking at his spray chart, the discrepancy is more than the new Camden Yards dimensions. Mountcastle increased his fly ball exit velocity 1-mph, adding around four feet to his average fly ball distance. Yet, his HR/FB slipped from 20.4% to a snake bit 13.3%. Mountcastle chased less while being more aggressive in the zone, resulting in shaving a couple of points of his strikeout rate. The narrative will be moving the left field fences back in Camden Yards cost him power, but he was also unlucky in the home run department. This presents a buying opportunity as many will over adjust Mountcastle's new power baseline. He's still in the upswing of his career, hitting in the meat of an improving lineup. Read Past Outlooks

ANALYSIS
Ryan O'Hearn will take a turn at first base and bat seventh versus the Giants and right-hander Logan Webb. Mountcastle carries an ugly .233 batting average and .269 on-base percentage through 56 games (245 plate appearances) this year, though he has managed to tally 11 home runs and 38 RBI.

After a surprise debut year in 2020 when he hit for a .333 average, the batting average stepped back some for Mountcastle in 2021, but fortunately, that was not the case with his power. After a slow start (.628 OPS on June 1), he heated up over the last four months (.878 OPS with 28 of his 33 homers). He gave up some contact for more power (.159 to .232 ISO, 87 to 89 mph avgEV). It's tough to gauge his talent going forward since his limited production keeps bouncing around (e.g. 1.183 OPS in Aug. with a .710 OPS in Sept.). He should not be a drag in batting average and provide 30 or so home runs with a half dozen steals. It's not game-changing talent, but Mountcastle should be considered a nice roster fill-in especially since he's qualified at first base and outfield.
