2024 Fantasy Outlook
While lauded for his power, Huff has been unable to carve out a consistent role at the major-league level. He now finds himself third on the organizational depth chart after the Rangers brought in Andrew Knizner on a one-year deal to back up Jonah Heim. It's uncertain whether Huff will begin the 2024 season in the majors or back at Triple-A Round Rock; manager Bruce Bochy left open the possibility of the team carrying three catchers on Opening Day. Impressively, Huff reached 20 home runs in fewer than 90 total games between Triple-A and the big leagues last season, Now 26, and with one minor-league option remaining, Huff will need to make the most of his opportunities if he is to find his way into meaningful at-bats.

Optioned to Triple-A
The Rangers optioned Huff to Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Huff was up for a few days while Jonah Heim was on paternity leave and started Monday's game versus the Mets, going 0-for-3 with a walk. With Heim back on the active roster, Huff heads back to Round Rock.

Stat Review
How does Sam Huff 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
2021
Huff is an intriguing second catcher target, but one with a major issues jumping off his stat page. He has shown power throughout the minors with a high strikeout rate, and has some of the best max exit velocity for a catcher in 2022. The 32% strikeout rate is not even his biggest problem; it is his catching. He receives the ball well, but when he is part of the pitching/catching batters, the league has been successful in 86% of its stolen base attempts. The new rules on throwing over will put more pressure on Huff to do better in this area, and he has a bottom 25th percentile meaning the pitcher will have to pick up even more slack when he is behind the plate. Simply put, he is Mike Zunino without the throwing arm and the new rules around baserunning could significantly impact Huff's playing time if his throwing skills behind the plate do not improve. He is fantasy viable in AL-Only two-catcher leagues, but can otherwise be safely ignored.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be headed to majors
The Rangers are likely to recall Huff from Triple-A Round Rock prior to Tuesday's game against the Phillies, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
ANALYSIS
Davis Wendzel has already been optioned, and Huff looms as an obvious candidate to replace him on the roster. The 26-year-old is slashing .263/.360/.517 with seven home runs this season with Round Rock and could see some starts against left-handed pitching for Texas.
