2024 Fantasy Outlook
Ozuna struggled to a .687 OPS in 2022 and appeared to be in danger of being cut out of Atlanta's regular lineup last season after going 5-for-59 in April, but he quickly turned things around and finished 2023 with a career-high 40 homers, 100 RBI, 84 runs and a .274/.346/.558 slash line in 144 contests. That was good for a 139 wRC+, which is a vast improvement on his 85 wRC+ over the previous two years. His 2023 production was supported by a career-high 16.6 percent barrel rate and 49.0 percent hard-hit rate, which helped lead to a .284 xBA and .583 xSLG. Ozuna almost exclusively served as Atlanta's designated hitter, as he made only two appearances (one start) in the outfield, so his positional eligibility will be limited to begin 2024. That'll hardly matter to fantasy managers if he's able to replicate his 2023 campaign, but year-to-year consistency has never been the 33-year-old's forte. Ozuna's results last season were supported by strong underlying numbers and sets him up for another productive campaign in 2024, but he still carries some risk for fantasy managers given his boom-or-bust trends the past few years.

Stat Review
How does Marcell Ozuna 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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Taking grounders at 1B
Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports Ozuna was fielding grounders at first base Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
The 33-year-old apparently did similar field work at spring training last year but never saw any game action there during the regular season. Ozuna served almost exclusively as Atlanta's designated hitter in 2023, with just two appearances in left field. He's unlikely to see much action in the field in 2024 either, though first base could be a possibility should Matt Olson be sidelined by an injury.

Ozuna sat out most of 2021 with an injury and also served a suspension for violating MLB's domestic violence policy, but he returned to the fold for Atlanta in 2022 and played in 124 games. The veteran slugger clubbed 23 home runs but failed to hit with any consistency and had a .226/.274/.413 slash line. The power is clearly still there, but his strikeout rate (24.1 percent) and walk rate (6.2 percent) were near the worst figures of his big-league career. He should see most of his action at designated hitter given his poor and still-declining outfield defense, but William Contreras is also in that mix for Atlanta after broke out with 20 homers and an .860 OPS last season. Now entering his age-32 campaign, Ozuna remains under contract for $16 million in 2023 and 2024 and should at least see semi-regular playing time, but he may not be in the lineup every day, and his inconsistency makes him a volatile fantasy option, albeit with some upside given his previous success.
