2025 Fantasy Outlook
Meadows got off to a slow start for Detroit last season and was optioned to Triple-A Toledo in early May. After two months spent clawing his way back, Meadows strained his right hamstring three games into his MLB return, which cost him another month. Faith was rewarded, however, as he ended up being a difference maker in the second half, slashing .296/.340/.500 with six homers and five steals in 47 regular-season games following his return in August. The overall batted-ball numbers do little to excite, but strong defense should help keep him on the field. Meadows, a lefty batter, handles same-side pitching reasonably well and is closer to the hitter we saw down the stretch than the one we saw over the first month-plus. Now 25 years old, Meadows projects to open the year as the Tigers' starting center fielder, with a longer leash to work through any offensive struggles. Read Past Outlooks

Idle for second game of day
Meadows is out of the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Nationals.
Analysis
With a tough lefty (MacKenzie Gore) taking the hill for the Nationals, the left-handed-hitting Meadows will give way to Matt Vierling in center field in the nightcap. Meadows started in the Tigers' 11-2 win in the first game of the day, finishing 1-for-5 with three strikeouts.

Stat Review
How does Parker Meadows 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
2024
2023
Meadows is a prime late-round outfielder to target in redraft leagues and a potentially ascending asset in dynasty leagues. Austin's younger brother had an impressive run in big-league camp during spring training but he struggled out of the gate at Triple-A, slashing .237/.321/.391 in his first 53 games. However, he got into a groove from early-June on, hitting .273 with an .897 OPS, 13 home runs and 12 steals on 13 attempts over his final 59 games for Toledo before getting a late-August promotion to the majors. His 37-game run in the big leagues was impressive on several fronts. First, he provided plus center-field defense with 81st percentile arm strength and 90th percentile sprint speed. He also stole eight bases on nine attempts. Additionally, his 77.9 percent contact rate and 23 percent chase rate are strong marks for a 23-year-old rookie, as were his 35.2 percent groundball rate and 5.4 percent infield-flyball rate. Comerica Park was the 25th best park for lefty power last year, so it's possible his power will be capped in the 15-20 HR range early on, but the 6-foot-5 Meadows may just be scratching the surface as a slugger. He doesn't have pronounced splits and has a chance to be Detroit's leadoff hitter for all of 2024.
