2024 Fantasy Outlook
Acquired from Seattle prior to the 2022 season, Fraley has emerged as a quality platoon outfielder/DH in his two years with Cincinnati. He spent time on the injured list last season with wrist and toe injuries, the latter of which required October surgery to repair. Fraley is expected to be fully ready for the start of spring training in 2024. Reds manager David Bell was rigid in his usage of Fraley, limiting him to a mere four starts and 41 plate appearances against left-handed pitching all season. When he had the platoon advantage, Fraley slashed .268/.348/.467 with all 15 of his home runs. He's done a better job of being aggressive within the strike zone, adding nearly 12 percentage points to his Z-Swing% over the past two years, and the speed element of his game showed up in 2023 in the form of 21 steals in 26 attempts. The fact that he doesn't play against lefty pitching limits his counting-stat upside, but among strict platoon bats in MLB, Fraley is right up there with (or just behind) the best. Read Past Outlooks

Scores twice in opener
Fraley started in right field and went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and two runs scored in Thursday's 8-2 win over Washington on Opening Day.
ANALYSIS
As usual, Fraley got the start with a right-hander throwing for the Nationals. The left-handed hitting outfielder had just 41 plate appearances against lefties in 2023. Fraley can be useful in a less-than full-time role, as evidenced by the 21 stolen bases he had last year in 111 games.

Stat Review
How does Jake Fraley 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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Possible trade target
Levi Weaver of The Athletic speculates the Rangers could attempt to acquire Fraley from the Reds.
ANALYSIS
Fraley was limited to just 68 games last season due to knee and toe injuries, but he was a valuable bat when available with a .259/.344/.468 slash line and 12 home runs. The 27-year-old is a poor defender and typically fares better against right-handed pitching, and the Rangers could look for him to fill the strong side of a platoon in left field if a deal is reached.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2022
2021
2020
2019
2017
Fraley was acquired by the Reds from the Mariners just before the start of the 2022 campaign, and he took a major step forward when available with an .812 OPS and 12 home runs in 247 plate appearances. The problem being he was sidelined for much of the summer with knee and toe injuries and played in only 68 games. Still, Fraley cut his strikeout rate nearly five percentage points to 21.9 percent and took advantage of playing at hitter-friendly Great American Ball Park with a .287/.362/.511 slash line at home. The Reds aren't likely to make any significant splashes in free agency, so Fraley should receive regular playing time to open 2023. He could be a decent depth option for mix-league fantasy formats and could especially have value as a streamer for homestands.
