Sleeper Targets for Home Runs: Marcell Ozuna
Marcell Ozuna (OF – ATL)
Marcell Ozuna had a rough year. Even so, he managed 23 home runs in 507 plate appearances. This also came with the usual underlying metrics. There is some concern about the approach. He appeared more willing to chase than usual, but was it due to pressing or deterioration in skills? That is still to be determined, but as we enter 2023, Ozuna has a path to playing time at DH and made the effort to strengthen his arm this offseason so he can be a better outfielder.
