2023 Fantasy Outlook
Brujan played six different spots for the Rays over his 52 played at the big league level, which in itself points to the issue with his future. The club is not certain Brujan has any one home defensively, but they like the versatility in a pinch. He has a track record of hitting throughout the minor leagues as well as flashing his speed on the bases, but 2022 was a struggle for him as he was caught in 18 of his 49 attempts between Triple-A and the majors. The minor league version of Brujan has been a high-contact hitter who has accepted his walks and sprayed the ball to all fields while the major league version has been mostly overmatched by velocity and has seen a steady diet of it. 2023 does not appear to offer him a clear path to a starting position, but he is out of options so he is a cinch to make the roster assuming he is not dealt over the winter because the roster currently shows six different hitters without options on the 26-man roster which is an unusual amount of inflexibility for the Rays.

ANALYSIS
Brujan's latest stint in the majors lasted just one day. The Rays are sending him down in order to bring up a fresh relief arm.

How does Vidal Brujan 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.

Brujan has a perplexing combination of rare stolen-base upside and no clear path to regular playing time. He has been at least 10 percent better than league average at every minor-league stop where he has played in double-digit games. However, his 111 wRC+ at Triple-A was his worst such mark to date, the product of a .262/.345/.440 slash line that came with 12 home runs, an 11.1 BB% and a 15.4 K%. The most relevant number was 44 stolen bases on 52 attempts in 103 games. He clearly worked on getting more loft in his swing at the alternate training site, as his 41.4 GB% was easily the lowest mark of his career. Even so, his 25.6 Hard% was mediocre, and the switch-hitting utility man simply doesn't have the juice to be more than 10-15 homer threat. This puts a cap on his real-life upside, which means the Rays don't have much incentive to shoehorn him into the lineup if he is not finding other ways to be productive. He can play anywhere on the diamond, but he's not good enough anywhere to unseat any of the Rays' regulars, and he's a notably worse defensive infielder than Taylor Walls and a notably worse defensive outfielder than Josh Lowe -- two unproven players who will also be trying to earn playing time in 2022. A trade to a second-division team is possible, and it would immediately send his rotisserie-league stock soaring, but barring that, it seems unlikely that he will play enough to be more than a one-category contributor.
