2024 Fantasy Outlook
The 23-year old Baty had a tale of two seasons in that he absolutely raked in Triple-A Syracuse but struggled at the big league level. Baty had a .298/.388/.625 line in 121 plate appearances with Syracuse to force his way to the big league roster, but finished the season in Queens with a .212/.275/.323 line as other rookies around the league flourished. Baty handles fastballs well last season with a .283 xBA and six of his nine homers coming off the pitch, but a .151 xBA against breaking balls and a .239 xBA against offspeed pitches did him in as he saw those pitches 44% of the time from opposing pitchers. Facing lefties was mostly a mystery for him as he hit .176 with 29 strikeouts in 91 at bats while doing what damage he did against righties. Baty has the upside to be a better fantasy contributor than what he has shown thus far, but he will have to show that before he gets moved to the top half of the lineup. He is currently a liability at a position demanding production. Read Past Outlooks

ANALYSIS
Jesse Winker is dealing with a back issue, which has his status for the National League Wild Card series in question. If Winker is unable to go, it sounds like Baty would be the choice to replace him on the roster. Baty put up a .633 OPS in 50 games during the regular season with the Mets but had a .925 OPS over his final 14 contests at Triple-A Syracuse.

Stat Review
How does Brett Baty 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.

Jan Levine closes his column for the season by highlighting a few last-minute pickups while including a couple pitchers to stash for next year.
This week’s Thursday FAAB pickups include Clayton Kershaw, who’s a good stash candidate until he’s ready to pitch, likely after the All Star break.
William Contreras is one of the main cogs in the Milwaukee Brewers' solid lineup, and Ryan Boyer presents Lineup Lowdown, this week concentrating on the National League.

2020
Baty has long been an exit velocity darling and registered a 113 mph max EV (89th percentile) in just 31 MLB events during a brief cup of coffee after posting an elite 36.1 Hard% in the minors. His 24.8 K% at Double-A and Triple-A was fine for a 22-year-old slugger who also walked at an 11.7% clip. Hitting the ball hard and controlling the strike zone are major parts of the success equation for a 6-foot-3, 210-pound lefty slugger. The big question is whether he can get the ball in the air enough to maximize his power. When factoring in context, easily his best run as a pro was the 89 games he played last year at Double-A (160 wRC+), but that was also the only time he has logged a groundball rate below 51% (42.6%) above rookie ball. That run at Double-A accounted for 84% of his season, so we shouldn't read too much into his groundball rate spiking again at Triple-A and the majors, but it's undoubtedly the biggest stat to track with Baty in 2023. He tore a ligament in his right thumb at the end of August but should be ready for spring training. Eduardo Escobar is the incumbent at the hot corner, but between designated hitter (for Baty and Daniel Vogelbach) and second base (for Escobar and Luis Guillorme), there should be regular playing time available if he performs.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
'More comfortable' at keystone
Baty worked with Gold Glove second baseman Yolmer Sanchez over the summer and has felt "more and more comfortable" playing the position, reports Anthony DiComo of MLB.com.
ANALYSIS
The 24-year-old was sidelined for a month during the second half due to a fractured left index finger, but he was still able to get in 27 games at the keystone. Baty is with the major-league club as a member of the taxi squad and could join the playoff roster if the Mets suffer an injury. He made the Opening Day roster but struggled to a .633 OPS in 50 games before being sent down to Triple-A Syracuse, where he generated a .252 average and .853 OPS across 269 plate appearances over 62 games.
