2023 Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
France may not sport the typical corner infield skill set, but it plays and can be a fantasy asset when used in the proper lineup build. His primary skill is an elite contact rate as his average exit velocity is 24th percentile flanked with a 29th percentile hard hit rate. France's fly ball exit velocity is a little higher, allowing him to maintain a slightly above average HR/FB. Put together, France has registered a wRC+ of 133, 130 and 127 over the past three seasons. His job as the Mariners' every day first baseman is secure, and manager Scott Servais likes to hit him in a prominent lineup spot. France's run production should benefit from an improving Seattle lineup. It hurts a bit that France no longer has second base eligibility, but France can provide batting stability with enough power to merit mixed league corner infield consideration. Read Past Outlooks

Avoids arbitration
France and the Mariners agreed on a one-year, $4.1 million contract Friday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
France and the team won't have to go through the arbitration process anymore after they struck a deal Friday. The 28-year-old produced a .274/.338/.436 slash line with a career-high 20 homers and 83 RBI over 551 at-bats in 140 games with the Mariners in 2022. Hitting in the heart of a productive Seattle lineup, France will continue to have significant fantasy value in 2023.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2020
Through April 19, France was slashing .311/.411/.525, but he left a game early after being hit by a pitch on the forearm. Over his next 20 games, France hit .157/.263/.229 before being put on the IL with wrist inflammation. Neither the HBP nor sore wrist were cited for the slump, but one or both likely contributed. France had the minimum stay, then didn't miss a game the rest of the way. He did endure another slump (2-for-21) while playing through a bone bruise on his wrist. France is an accumulator, benefiting from a career-low 16.3 K%. His power is average but a penchant for line drives supports a high BABIP. Seattle runs, but France's 21st percentile sprint speed grounds him. France is slated to again be the Mariners' everyday first baseman, but he'll also qualify at second where his numbers play better for fantasy. France's solid contact provides a floor. Just beware hitting line drives can be a fleeting skill.
