2024 Fantasy Outlook
Mateo helped many fantasy managers to championships in 2022 when he swiped 35 bases and hit 13 home runs across 533 plate appearances for Baltimore. While he reached the 30-steal plateau again last season, most of his production came in the first half, before the Orioles began scaling back his playing time. Mateo totaled just 102 plate appearances after the All-Star break, adding one home run and seven RBI to go along with 10 steals in 12 attempts. There are obvious limitations with his bat and the Orioles appear set to hand the reins at shortstop to top prospect Jackson Holliday in the not-too-distant future, leaving Mateo to serve in a bench role. The playing-time trend last season tells us what we need to know entering 2024, though a trade could easily open up a path back to mixed-league relevance. Read Past Outlooks
Big day on offense
Mateo went 2-for-2 with a three-run home run, a stolen base and two runs scored in Thursday's win over the Tigers while also drawing two walks.
ANALYSIS
Mateo walked and stole second in his opening plate appearance before coming around to score on an Adley Rutschman single. The second baseman then broke open a 2-2 game with a three-run shot in the fourth and went on to reach base four times in the contest. The home run was Mateo's third of the season and he's now hit safely in six of his last seven games, going 7-for-22 (.318) over that stretch with four RBI, six runs scored and four stolen bases.

Stat Review
How does Jorge Mateo 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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Roster spot likely safe
Manager Brandon Hyde indicated Mateo will provide value down the stretch and in the playoffs, per Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun, indicating the shortstop isn't in danger of losing his spot on the big-league roster.
ANALYSIS
The 28-year-old opened the campaign as Baltimore's primary shortstop but has slipped into a bench role with the organization turning to its younger prospects. Mateo has a .211/.260/.336 slash line with six home runs and 25 steals in 90 games this season, and his speed could certainly be a weapon off the bench as the campaign moves into its latter stages.

2016
Mateo played all over the diamond in his first two seasons, but he was installed as the Orioles every day shortstop and stayed there all season. Defensively, Mateo was superb, but at the dish, a poor approach resulted in an up and down campaign, though through it all Mateo ran as he led the American League with 35 steals. A 27.6% strikeout rate and a .286 BABIP suppressed his average. The low BABIP came from a 41% fly ball rate, which supports low double-digit power, but clashes with a player possessing below average exit velocity and hard-hit rate but runs with 90th percentile sprint speed. Entering his 28-year-old campaign, Mateo could still improve his contact and hit more grounders, but there are no indications he'll adjust. Baltimore signed Adam Frazier and has a wave of more well-rounded infield prospects ready to help in 2023, so Mateo may start shifting to a utility role sooner than later
