2023 Fantasy Outlook
A graduate from Stanford with a degree in math and computational science, Edman is a smart baseball player and you can see it in certain stats like his stolen-base success rate (career 79-for-92). He picks his spots and maximizes his natural talent. While Edman doesn't draw a ton of walks, he puts the ball in play and can hit for decent average and a bit of pop from both sides of the plate. It's worth noting that of Edman's 32 steals last season, 21 came when he batted out of the leadoff spot. Conversely, he only stole two bags in 31 games batting at the bottom of the order, so the Cardinals' lineups will be worth watching as we push closer to Opening Day. Regardless of where he slots in, Edman will be in the staring nine close to every day thanks to his defensive prowess. He is eligible at both middle-infield positions entering 2023.

Stat Review
How does Tommy Edman 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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2020
After Edman's rookie season, there was hope he'd develop into a multi-eligibility player with power and speed. With apologies to Meatloaf, two out of three ain't bad. It's apparent Edman's .500 slugging percentage in 2019 was a mirage, fueled by a HR mark a few more than expected. That said, according to Statcast, Edman's 11 long balls last season were a couple lighter than expected. After vanishing in 2020, Edman's stolen bases returned as his 30 SB tied for fourth most in MLB. Edman's 13.7 K% was 13th lowest among qualified hitters. Edman's contact rate and steals, along with dual position eligibility (2B/OF) provide his fantasy allure. Despite a low BB%, Edman has hit first or second in 230 of the 306 games he's played. His batted-balls skills don't support a high BABIP, but 92nd percentile sprint speed should keep it around league average. There's ample support to safely target Edman for steals.
