2024 Fantasy Outlook
Kelenic failed to live up to the lofty expectations placed upon him in Seattle, but he will get a chance to start anew in Atlanta in 2024. The sixth overall pick in 2018, Kelenic was once viewed as a top prospect, if not the top prospect in all of baseball. Most Mets fans bemoaned his departure from the organization in the 2018 Edwin Diaz trade. After a disastrous first couple MLB seasons, Kelenic finally enjoyed a taste of big-league success in 2023, though he also missed a large portion of the year due to a fractured left foot, the result of kicking a water cooler in frustration. His poor luck on balls in play reversed and Kelenic finished above league average by many offensive measures. It's important to remember that he is still just 24 years old, and even with his strikeout issues (30.7 K%), he's shown some good things at the plate and on the bases. It's best to project a platoon role, but there may be upside from there in regards to playing time. His landing spot in Atlanta makes a post-hype gamble all the more intriguing. Read Past Outlooks
Not in Monday's lineup
Kelenic is not in the lineup for Monday's game versus the Dodgers.
ANALYSIS
Kelenic manned left field for Atlanta in both of the last two games, but Ramon Laureano will be in the lineup Monday versus righty Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Kelenic has now hit the bench four times over the last six contests, with three of his absences coming against right-handed pitchers.

2019
Kelenic's sophomore season was worse than his rookie campaign. A strong spring finish earned him a starting job, but Kelenic was soon demoted to Triple-A Tacoma. He earned another callup in late July but was again overmatched by MLB pitching so the visit was again short-lived and he rejoined the Rainers before a final promotion in late September. This time, Kelenic impressed with a 1,107 OPS in seven games before he was hit by a pitch on the hand. While Kelenic's career .758 OPS and 19.1% strikeout rate facing hard stuff isn't great, it's Ruth-ian compared to his .418 OPS and 41.5% strikeout rate versus break balls and changeups. Be it pitch recognition or timing, Kelenic clearly has an issue, but it should be fixable. The catch is Seattle is in win now mode and has depth in the outfield, so Kelenic must hit to play. The talent to turn things round is there, the opportunity is in jeopardy.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
GM downplays poor spring
Atlanta GM Alex Anthopoulos said Thursday that Kelenic's poor offensive performance during spring training had "zero impact" on the club's decision to sign Adam Duvall, per Gabe Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
ANALYSIS
Anthopoulos specifically complimented Kelenic's defensive work this spring, but his 3-for-42 showing in Grapefruit League action is difficult to ignore. It's not a surprise the GM remained publicly positive with his new outfielder, but it's clear Kelenic and Duvall are set up to begin the campaign platooning in left field. Kelenic's volume will surely take a hit with the acquisition, but he should still see plenty of playing time, assuming the spring struggles don't carry over too much into the regular season.
