Amed Rosario 2024 Player Outlook: Utility Status Not Enhancing Value
9 months agoTampa Rays Rays utility player Amed Rosario is expected to fill a super-utility role with the club in the 2024 season but it's unlikely to boost his fantasy value. While versatility is an asset, Rosario hit .263 with six homers and 15 stolen bases across 142 appearances in the 2024 campaign, posting a .683 OPS that fell 12% below the league average, as per his 88 wRC+. The veteran doesn't strike out much but rarely draws a walk with a minuscule 4.5% BB% for his career. The 28-year-old has some wheels on the basepaths and hits for a solid average but doesn't bring much power to the table while boasting subpar on-base percentage numbers due to his inability to draw a walk. Even at a 401.54 ADP, Rosario just doesn't bring much to the table for fantasy managers, even if he gains additional versatility.
