Fantasy Baseball Player Notes

Andrés Giménez struggled during the 2024 season, recording a .252 batting average with nine home runs, 63 RBIs, 64 runs scored, and an impressive 30 stolen bases. While his batting average dipped from his 2022 peak of .297, his speed on the basepaths remained a significant asset. Gimenez's offensive metrics, such as a .638 OPS and a career-low .340 slugging percentage, made fantasy managers regret their high pick. His hard-hit rate declined to 27.0%, down from 37.8% in 2022. Now with the Blue Jays, Gimenez has entered that tier of infielders offering stolen bases and would go much lower in drafts if he was not a second baseman.
