LaMonte Wade

30-Year-Old First Baseman1B
San Francisco Giants
2024 Fantasy Outlook
A string of knee issues derailed Wade in 2022 and prevented him from building on his breakout showing with the Giants from 2021, but he managed to stay mostly healthy in 2023 and returned to form as a reliable leadoff presence for San Francisco. He registered a .373 on-base percentage, which ranked 13th-best among all qualified major-league hitters, and he struck out only 95 times in 519 plate appearances while drawing 76 walks. Wade doesn't have a ton of raw power -- he finished in just the 32nd percentile last year in average exit velocity -- but the 30-year-old first baseman and corner outfielder should continue to be a fairly appealing option in OBP leagues and might be worthy of late-round or waiver-wire consideration in standard formats for his potential to rack up runs scored. It's worth nothing, however, that the offseason arrival of Jung Hoo Lee could seriously curtail Wade's tablesetting opportunities. Read Past Outlooks
