Stat Review
How does Billy McKinney compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

McKinney played for three different teams in 2021, spending time with the Brewers, Mets and Dodgers. The 27-year-old's most productive stint came in New York -- he generated a .220 average, .776 OPS and 12 extra-base hits (six doubles, one triple, five home runs) across 102 plate appearances -- but the combination of his season 26.3 percent strikeout rate and .235 BABIP helped lead to a collective .192/.280/.358 slash line. McKinney subsequently joined the Athletics on a minor-league deal March 16 and proceeded to make the Opening Day roster with a solid finish to spring training; the hope is he'll be able to provide occasional pop while filling in at the corner outfield spots and first base as Oakland attempts to replace some of the power production that left town with the trades of Matt Olson and Matt Chapman.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Playing time should increase
McKinney should get more frequent opportunities in the outfield now that AJ Pollock is out with a hamstring strain for at least a couple weeks.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old has contributed little offensively in 33 games for the Dodgers, hitting .156/.290/.247 with a home run, two doubles and seven RBI. With Chris Taylor likely becoming the everyday left fielder in Pollock's absence, McKinney is now the primary option to start when Taylor, Mookie Betts or Cody Bellinger requires a day off.
