Ryan McMahon 2024 Player Outlook: Productive Late Round Utility Infielder
10 months agoRyan McMahon has been a model of consistency in recent years. While he isn't as eye-catching as other infielders, he can certainly provide fantasy value. Over the last three seasons, McMahon has averaged 152 games, 22 homers, 74 RBI, 76 runs and six stolen bases. McMahon also has a .246/.326/.431 slash line since 2021 which is similar to last year's (.240/.322/.431). McMahon's expected numbers have been very similar to his actual numbers over the last three seasons. He strikeouts a lot (31.6% K% in 2023), but offsets it by walking a good amount (10.8% BB% in 2023). Since a two-week stint on the IL in 2019, McMahon has avoided injuries. He continues to hit in the heart of the lineup on a team that has one of the best hitters' ballparks in baseball. At 29 years old, it's fair to say that we won't see any more growth and there's limited upside with McMahon. But we also have a very good idea of what to expect from him. The fact he can fill in at second and third base makes McMahon an ideal later-round utility option that might not win you a fantasy league but will provide value.
