Jake McCarthy

Jake McCarthy has been traded from the Arizona Diamondbacks to the Colorado Rockies in exchange for minor league pitching prospect, Josh Grosz.

Fantasy Impact

McCarthy, a former first round pick by the Diamondbacks in 2018, struggled in his fifth year with Arizona last season as he batted just .204 in 222 plate appearances. In five seasons in the desert, McCarthy hit .260 with 24 home runs and 83 stolen bases in 431 career games. The speedy outfielder should have an everyday role in the Colorado lineup and has the potential to hit 10-15 home runs and swipe 30-35 bags with a starting job.

The Diamondbacks signed OF Jake McCarthy to a one-year, $1.525 million deal to avoid arbitration.

Fantasy Impact

McCarthy remains a player who could be moved in a crowded situation in the Diamondbacks outfield. He is unlikely to be very much on the fantasy radar in his current projected role.

Jake McCarthy went 1-for-2 with a home run, one run scored, and one RBI in the loss to the Padres.

Jake McCarthy went 1-for-4 with one strikeout in the Diamondbacks’ 12-2 loss to Detroit.

Fantasy Impact

McCarthy picked up his 17th hit of the season, raising his average to .162 through 105 at-bats. Despite the single, he remains a fringe option in most formats due to limited production and playing time. He’s best reserved for deep NL-only leagues unless his role expands.
