2024 Player Outlook

2023 Recap: After a monster 2022 campaign where Tellez hit 35 home runs and posted a .461 SLG across 153 games, his 2023 season didn’t enjoy the same results. His strikeout rate increased, his hard contact and related metrics tumbled, and his 13.1 percent HR/FB ratio was the second-lowest mark of his entire career. Despite his strikeout rate increasing, he posted a career low 7.6 percent swinging strike rate, career best 80.1 percent contact rate, and the lowest O-Swing rate of his entire career! 

2024 Outlook: He cannot hit lefties, so he’ll play on the larger side of a platoon at first base for Pittsburgh. PNC Park gives him a slight upgrade to his home park, but if his hard contact metrics don’t return to his 2021 and 2022 marks, it ultimately won’t amount to anything for fantasy purposes. He’s a late round source of cheap power at best heading into fantasy baseball drafts.
