Teoscar Hernandez 2024 Fantasy Baseball Outlook: Change In Scenery But Not In HR And RBI Totals In 2024
3 months agoNewly acquired Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernandez has been a consistent source of power since 2018, blasting 22 or more homers each season, except for the shortened 2020 season. However, even then, he managed to hit 16 in just 50 games. Some positives come with that power, and in 2023, the righty produced 93 RBI and 70 R to go along with his 26 HR, but that also resulted in a high K% (31.1%) and low BB% (5.6%), which limits the AVG (.258) and the OBP (.305). Despite four consecutive years of declining wRC+, with a high of 142 in 2020 down to 105 in 2023, he's expected to have another productive year in L.A. that should resemble the stat line he put up last season. FGDC projections have him with a .258-30-92-77-7 line with a WOBA of .332 and wRC+ of 110. That's probably the ceiling for the 31-year-old, as his career Contact% of 67.5%, SwStr% of 16.2%, and O-Swing% of 33.7% will tend to limit any additional fantasy upside. The upgraded environment from Seattle to L.A. is already baked into the projection. RotoBaller has him appropriately ranked at 149 overall, similar to his NFBC ADP of 147.
