2024 Fantasy Outlook
Kansas City has achieved a commendable amount of success in developing internal position-player talent, even during this recent run of poor overall on-field results. It looked like Massey might join that lineage when he put up an .882 OPS with Low-A Quad Cities in 2021 and a .312/.371/.532 slash line between Double-A Northwest Arkansas and Triple-A Omaha in 2022. The early MLB returns, though, are not so promising. Massey ranked 166th in on-base percentage (.274) out of the 168 big-league hitters who made more than 450 plate appearances in 2023. He connected for 15 home runs and stole six bases but finished in just the 36th percentile in average exit velocity and 49th percentile in sprint speed. It would come as a surprise -- a welcome surprise given his cheap draft-day cost -- if Massey were to pull off a fantasy breakout this year at age 26. Read Past Outlooks
Sitting against LHP
Massey is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Houston.
ANALYSIS
Massey will avoid a same-hand matchup with lefty Framber Valdez on Friday. Maikel Garcia will play second base while Nick Loftin slots in at DH.

Stat Review
How does Michael Massey 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.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Massey was promoted for his big-league debut in July and quickly returned to the minors, but he was promoted again a few weeks later and remained with Kansas City for the rest of the campaign. The 2019 fourth-round pick had a .243/.307/.376 slash line with four home runs, 17 RBI and three stolen bases in 52 games and primarily played second base. He had a solid 13 percent barrel rate and .450 xSLG, so he showcased some pop in his first taste of MLB action. Massey's potential for counting stats is limited given Kansas City's lineup, but he should receive the opportunity to establish himself at the keystone in 2023 given the current state of the roster.
