Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Wiemer came up just short of making the Brewers' Opening Day roster but was added for the second game of the season after Luis Urias got hurt on Opening Day. The rookie operated as the team's everyday center fielder for four months and offered flashes of production, including in June when he posted an .848 OPS with six home runs. Wiemer struggled with consistency and in making contact (28.3 percent strikeout rate), though, and eventually found himself in a reserve role in August and back in the minors by September. There's 20-20 potential here if Wiemer can show some growth at the dish, but his defense is well ahead of his offense right now and Milwaukee looks to have others ahead of him on their outfield depth chart.

ANALYSIS
Wiemer went just 4-for-26 with nine strikeouts in 21 big-league games played between Milwaukee and Cincinnati last season. His performance in the minors wasn't great either, as he slashed .189/.277/.226 in 119 plate appearances with the Reds' Triple-A affiliate after being traded at the deadline. Once regarded as a top prospect in the Brewers' farm system, the 25-year-old Wiemer will look to turn things around with the Royals, though he will likely report to Triple-A Omaha.

Stat Review
How does Joey Wiemer 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
If it weren't for Wiemer's insane finish to the 2022 season, it would be pretty easy to conclude he has a low likelihood of making enough contact to be more than a short-side platoon outfielder. He was a hair below league average (98 wRC+) with a 30.2 K%, 65.7 Contact% and 9.1 BB% in 84 games as a 23-year-old at Double-A before getting an early-August bump to Triple-A. Three weeks after his promotion, Wiemer went on a heater, slashing .337/.438/.630 with five home runs, three steals and more walks (18) than strikeouts (17) in his final 27 games. Prior to that run, Wiemer hit .237/.309/.427 in 99 games, so either he had a lucky four weeks at the end of the season or he took a legitimate step forward as a hitter. It should be noted that he wasn't facing great pitching over that final month, as most of the good pitchers at Triple-A are already in the majors by the season's final month, and he took advantage of some long series in a couple hitter-friendly parks. Notorious for his 70-grade power, Wiemer is also a plus runner, going 31-for-34 on stolen-base attempts last season. The power/speed upside is pretty obvious, and there's solid evidence on both sides of the hit tool debate. Wiemer projects to add value with his right field defense.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
More comfortable with new swing
Wiemer struggled the first week of the season at Triple-A Nashville as he got comfortable with some offseason swing changes, but he posted a .993 OPS over his last 30 plate appearances before being promoted Sunday, reports Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old outfielder made significant tweaks to his swing to cut down on unnecessary movement, but he posted a .464 OPS during spring training and went 2-for-21 during the first week of the Triple-A season. Wiemer seemed to turn a corner from there and now feels more "natural" at the plate. He flashed his potential as a rookie last season with 13 homers and 11 steals in 132 games, though he hit just .204 and had a 28.3 percent strikeout rate. Wiemer could see some playing time for Milwaukee while Christian Yelich is sidelined by a back injury, but Blake Perkins has enjoyed a strong start to the season and is more likely to be a lineup regular.
