Player Outlook
The veteran outfielder has provided a reliable glove and above-average bat since making his debut in 2019, and that remained the case last season with a 106 wRC+ and plus-four Defensive Runs Saved. Mike Yastrzemski clubbed 18 homers with 57 RBI and 60 runs to go along with a .231/.302/.437 slash line in 140 games, with an 8.2 percent walk rate being the lowest since his rookie year. Now entering his age-34 campaign, Yastrzemski is a good bet to hit around .230 with 15-20 home runs, but his counting stats could continue to have a limited ceiling given his struggles against left-handed pitching, though he could receive a boost given the lineup improvements around him. He likely won't be a major difference maker but can help round out a fantasy outfield, especially in deeper leagues.
