2023 Fantasy Outlook
Anderson's 2022 season was a challenge on many levels for him, from managerial issues to the hand injury which eventually ended his season on Aug. 9. Through it all, Anderson maintained the ability to hit for a very high average as he is the only player in the league to hit over .300 in each of the previous four seasons. That skill helps him maintain a solid OBP despite an anemic walk rate that had him on pace to challenge his career high in steals from 2018. The batting-average talents are helped both by his ability to use all fields and the fact that he is one of the toughest batters in the league to strike out -- he lowered his strikeout rate nearly six full percentage points from 2021. The one downside to remember is that he has missed 30-plus games in three of the past four full seasons, having just once exceeded 150 games played. A new manager and a repaired hand should have him in a better place for 2023. Read Past Outlooks

Regains confidence at plate
Anderson visited Driveline immediately before spring training to work on his swing, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Anderson got off to a scorching start in 2022 but faltered to only a .259 average and .257 wOBA across the second half of the season. That dip in production was at least in part due to a groin injury that prevented him being comfortable at the plate, though Anderson is confident he regained his form this offseason. Encouragingly, Anderson has hit well with Team USA at the World Baseball Classic, maintaining a .364 average with two extra-base hits and a stolen base.

Stat Review
How does Tim Anderson 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.

Anderson again showed a high BABIP is more than plate skills, continuing to hit line drives and flyballs with elevated exit velocity while using speed to post a .288 BABIP on grounders, nearly 50 points above league average. He also hit one infield pop all season. Anderson's 55% groundball rate also helps, though it hinders power. However, elevated exit velocity on flyballs yields double-digit pop with 20-plus homer upside. Anderson's 18 steals were second most in his career, but his 72% success rate was his lowest ever. A pair of IL stints with hamstring issues not only cost him 24 games, but also likely contributed to a dip from 92nd percentile sprint speed to a career-low 74th percentile. The market finally trusts Anderson to carry a high BABIP, so he won't come cheap, but he's an ideal target to add SB without sacrificing too many homers. Durability is his only issue, as he's played just 123 games each of his last two full seasons.
