Parker Meadows 2024 Player Outlook: Everyday Role Likely In 2024
10 months agoDetroit Tigers outfielder Parker Meadows made his big-league debut in 2023 and experienced the typical peaks and valleys as a young player in the majors. After hitting .256 with 19 home runs, 19 stolen bases, and an 11% BB% across 113 games at Triple-A, the Tigers promoted Meadows and he put a solid showing of power and speed on display. Meadows hit three homers with four doubles, two triples, and eight stolen bases across his first 37 MLB games. He also walked at a healthy 11.7% clip in his debut campaign. However, much of his current value is in the speed and defense departments. He ranked in the 90th percentile in sprint speed and was worth four outs above average in his limited time in the bigs last season. His lanky 6-foot-5 frame makes it difficult to project Meadows' hit tool and while he boasts some pop, he has swing and miss in his game. His stolen base potential has led to a 296.44 ADP as the 68th outfielder off the draft board. However, with ATC projecting a 13-homer, 15-steal season, along with a .230 average and .301 on-base percentage, Meadows' prevailing ADP is rich despite a shot at an everyday role in 2024.
