2024 Fantasy Outlook

Soto changed organizations twice before the start of the 2024 season, as he was claimed off waivers by the Orioles at the start of February only to be designated for assignment and reclaimed by the Angels a few weeks later. The 23-year-old infielder has performed admirably when given a chance at the highest level with a career .945 OPS, but he's only been able to receive 71 plate appearances over the last two years. There's very little power in his left-handed bat, and he's not considered a stolen-base threat to help compensate. Soto will compete for a utility spot this spring, but it'd be a major upset if he provided any sort of fantasy fireworks if he does make the roster. Read Past Outlooks

The Orioles optioned Soto to Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.

ANALYSIS
Soto was deemed expendable as the Orioles get a couple infielders back from the injured list in Jordan Westburg (hand) and Ramon Urias (ankle). He's put up an .862 OPS in 12 games during his time with Baltimore in 2024.

MLB Barometer: Every Hitter Dealt at the Deadline

109 days ago

Which hitters were the biggest winners and losers of the trade deadline, and which one best describes new Ray Christopher Morel?

2023 Fantasy Outlook

Soto looked lke an all-world hitter during his first stint as a major-leaguer in 2022, slashing .400/.414/.582 across 59 plate appearances. Before rushing to add him to your draft board for next season, there is some important context to keep in mind: first, Soto's impressive average came with an unsustainable .500 BABIP, and second, he's never been anywhere close to that level of hitter as a minor-leaguer, posting a career .247 batting average over 1,457 at-bats. He did show significant growth last year with a .281/.379/.362 line in Double-A before jumping up the big club, and that came with an excellent 13.5% walk rate and 18.8% strikeout rate, so there's reason to believe that he can be a successful major-leaguer -- just not one that hits anywhere near .400. Before last season, Soto was looked at as a glove-first infielder, and that will likely still be his calling card to a big-league career. There isn't much power in his profile, but if he can continue to grow at the plate and steal 10-15 bases a season, there's potential for a future starting job. For 2023, he'll likely compete with the likes of Andrew Velasquez and Michael Stefanic for a backup infielder role.
