2024 Fantasy Outlook
Ozuna struggled to a .687 OPS in 2022 and appeared to be in danger of being cut out of Atlanta's regular lineup last season after going 5-for-59 in April, but he quickly turned things around and finished 2023 with a career-high 40 homers, 100 RBI, 84 runs and a .274/.346/.558 slash line in 144 contests. That was good for a 139 wRC+, which is a vast improvement on his 85 wRC+ over the previous two years. His 2023 production was supported by a career-high 16.6 percent barrel rate and 49.0 percent hard-hit rate, which helped lead to a .284 xBA and .583 xSLG. Ozuna almost exclusively served as Atlanta's designated hitter, as he made only two appearances (one start) in the outfield, so his positional eligibility will be limited to begin 2024. That'll hardly matter to fantasy managers if he's able to replicate his 2023 campaign, but year-to-year consistency has never been the 33-year-old's forte. Ozuna's results last season were supported by strong underlying numbers and sets him up for another productive campaign in 2024, but he still carries some risk for fantasy managers given his boom-or-bust trends the past few years.

Option officially picked up
Atlanta exercised Ozuna's $16 million club option for 2025, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The transaction was a given after Ozuna batted .302/.378/.546 with 39 home runs and 104 RBI in 2024. He is a full-time designated hitter at this point in his career, having not played a single inning in the outfield this season, but Ozuna should be a middle-of-the-order force again in 2025 in what will be his age-34 season.

How does Marcell Ozuna 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.

Ozuna sat out most of 2021 with an injury and also served a suspension for violating MLB's domestic violence policy, but he returned to the fold for Atlanta in 2022 and played in 124 games. The veteran slugger clubbed 23 home runs but failed to hit with any consistency and had a .226/.274/.413 slash line. The power is clearly still there, but his strikeout rate (24.1 percent) and walk rate (6.2 percent) were near the worst figures of his big-league career. He should see most of his action at designated hitter given his poor and still-declining outfield defense, but William Contreras is also in that mix for Atlanta after broke out with 20 homers and an .860 OPS last season. Now entering his age-32 campaign, Ozuna remains under contract for $16 million in 2023 and 2024 and should at least see semi-regular playing time, but he may not be in the lineup every day, and his inconsistency makes him a volatile fantasy option, albeit with some upside given his previous success.

ANALYSIS
The 33-year-old slugged 40 homers last season and has been one of the best hitters in baseball in 2024 with 21 long balls and a .953 OPS through 79 games, so he figures to be on the shortlist for the All-Star Weekend showcase. Ozuna has scuffled a bit over the past couple weeks with a .150/.277/.250 slash line in his past 11 games.
