Luis Rengifo 2024 Player Outlook: Versatility Boosting Value
9 months agoLos Angeles Angels utility player Luis Rengifo took yet another step forward in the 2023 season. Interestingly, he hit .264 and stole six bases for the second straight season and his 16 homers were just one shy of his 2022 total. Despite the eerily similar production, the biggest difference in his game was his patience at the plate as he nearly tripled his walk rate from 3.3% in 2022 to 9.2% in 2023 while continuing to limit his strikeouts at 18.4%. The 27-year-old doesn't offer much in terms of runs and RBI and his Statcast numbers don't jump off the page but he offers a solid OPS floor and pop with some speed to boot. Perhaps his biggest asset is his versatility with eligibility at second base, third base, shortstop, and outfield. His best value is at the keystone but his 241.27 ADP is fair value considering the various tools and versatility Rengifo brings to the table.
