2024 Fantasy Outlook
Taveras has been on the fantasy periphery for awhile, but 2023 was the first time we have seen the production begin to match the hype. The 25-year old outfielder finished the season with a palindromic 14 homers, 67 runs, 67 RBIs, and 14 steals over 143 games. The switch hitter continued to do most of his damage from the left side hitting 12 of those 14 homers off righties and hitting 34 points better against them than southpaws. Taveras's season was most frontloaded as he struggled after the break dealing with hand soreness and hit just .233 with 4 homers after the break. His defense and baserunning keep him in the lineup nearly everyday as long as his body holds up, but his spot in the lineup is what ultimately limits his upside as he should once again hit in the lower third of the lineup. His 2023 is very repeatable and a 20-20 season is possible should Bochy decide to leverage the running game more often in 2024. Read Past Outlooks

Red hot in May
Taveras concluded May with a .368/.419 /.516 slash line across 106 plate appearances.
ANALYSIS
Taveras' contact skills and strong defense have earned him an everyday role for the Rangers. The 24-year-old hit .261 in 99 games last season, and is following that up with improved numbers across the board, including a career-low 20.6 percent strikeout rate and a boosted 7.9 percent walk rate in 2023. Taveras is especially punishing righties this season to the tune of a .321 batting average and an .849 OPS.

Taveras is in a tenuous situation in that his speed and defense are good skills, but the Rangers have plenty of players with that profile these days with both Eli White and Bubba Thompson possessing those same skills and at the same position as Taveras. Leody has the leg up, in a way, as he is out of options while the other two are not which all but guarantees Taveras breaks camp with a job whether it be with Texas or another club. His speed is elite, yet his stolen base track record is anything but as he was caught five times in 16 tries last season. The Triple-A numbers continue to offer some promise, but it would be nice if that success came east with him from Surprise, Arizona after spring training since he cannot go back to Round Rock without being exposed to waivers.
