2025 Fantasy Outlook
The Cardinals were searching for offensive help in every corner of their roster last season, but even with that Fermin wasn't able to sniff the lineup on a regular basis. He didn't exactly make a compelling case for himself in the few opportunities he was given, either, looking overmatched in his 79 plate appearances. The 26-year-old did put together easily his best offensive showing at Triple-A Memphis, but considering it was his fourth stint at the Triple-A level, that's not exactly something to write home about. Fermin has speed and offers some defensive versatility, but he appears no closer to carving out a big-league role than he did at this time last year. Read Past Outlooks
Swipes bag in loss
Fermin went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 10-4 loss to the Mariners.
ANALYSIS
Fermin has seen minimal playing time since he was recalled from Triple-A Memphis on Aug. 21 to replace Nolan Gorman. Over eight games since that date, Fermin has gone 3-for-15 (.200) with three walks, and his two-run single Sunday was the first time he plated a run in the majors all season. The infielder has a poor .148/.246/.197 slash line with no home runs, two stolen bases, six runs scored, a double and a triple over 69 plate appearances. He has a short-term path to playing time at second base as long as Brendan Donovan (foot) is out.

Stat Review
How does Jose Fermin 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.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Fermin was acquired from Cleveland last winter, but his bid to win an Opening Day bench spot with the Cardinals ended before it began when he suffered a severe quad strain early in spring training which wound up sidelining him for nearly four months. He saw some spot duty with the Cards down the stretch and showed a solid glove, but his bat lagged well behind. That's been the case with Fermin throughout his days in pro ball, as he's never even had an .800 OPS in a season and sports a .709 OPS during his time at Triple-A. The power is basically non-existent and he hasn't displayed any stolen base chops since A-ball. Fermin will be in the mix for a reserve role in St. Louis, but they figure to be in trouble if he has to play very much.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could see outfield action
According to John Denton of MLB.com, Fermin played one game in left field for Triple-A Memphis in an attempt to improve his versatility as a big-league bench piece. He was called up by the Cardinals on Friday.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old appeared in nine games for the Cardinals in late April and early May but has spent most of the campaign with Memphis, where he has a .346/.461/.615 slash line in 32 contests. St. Louis' infield is currently in good health, so being a viable option in the outfield can only help Fermin's outlook for playing time. Still, he'll likely be limited to a reserve role barring an injury for the Cardinals.
