Rest-of-Season Projections
Pops second career homer
Yorke went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Saturday against the Yankees.
ANALYSIS
Yorke has started 10 of 12 games since making his big-league debut, and he popped his second career home run Saturday. Yorke also has two steals, though his 28.9 percent strikeout rate is a concern. He should be in consideration for a roster spot to begin the 2025 campaign.

Stat Review
How does Nick Yorke 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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Yorke's 2021 season was a statistical tour de force, especially when factoring his age relative to the levels he was playing at. However, his 2022 season was a massive departure, and while some of that can be attributed to injuries (turf toe, back stiffness, wrist soreness), this offseason is an opportunity for the skeptics and non-believers to move off the bat-first infielder. Yorke is a tinkerer at the plate, but he never really had a stretch in 2022 that compared to his 2021 exploits. The 20-year-old slashed .231/.303/.365 with 11 home runs and a 25.2 K% in 80 games at High-A. He was better in essentially every offensive metric during his 21-game run at that level in 2021, and the contrast of his quality of contact metrics was particularly stark (45.2% flyball rate in 2021, 35.4% flyball rate in 2022). Yorke needs to hit, as he is a below-average defender most places - he could be passable at second base. He has youth on his side, and just a year ago evaluators were talking about Yorke as one of the best pure hitters in the minors, so there is an opportunity for him to have a healthy bounce-back season in 2023. However, even his staunchest supporters will probably jump ship this summer if he picks up where he left off in 2022.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Possible solution at second base
Sean McAdam of The Springfield Republican reports the Red Sox are expecting Yorke "to be a fixture" at second base but also said the prospect can't be counted on to be productive in 2024.
ANALYSIS
The 21-year-old is one of Boston's top prospects and has a .269/.351/.439 slash line in 108 games at Double-A Portland this season, but he's not guaranteed to make his big-league debut in 2024, especially early in the campaign. The Red Sox will head into the offseason with more questions than answers at the keystone, and Yorke should at least have the opportunity to showcase himself in spring training. The 2020 first-round pick is likely to open next season with Triple-A Worcester, unless he has a very impressive camp and ends up skipping the highest level of the minors altogether.
