2024 Fantasy Outlook
Suarez has been one of the most consistent sources of power over the past five-plus years, but the veteran third baseman was only able to go deep 22 times in 2023 with a .391 slugging mark; his lowest since his rookie year with the Tigers in 2014. He also once again led baseball in strikeouts with 214 while hitting just .232, and only his 96 RBI kept him fantasy-relevant for the majority of the summer. While the numbers were disappointing, the metrics suggest that Suarez deserved better in several categories. His expected slugging percentage of .423 was markedly higher, and his barrel percentage of 13.2 ranked in the 87th percentile of qualified hitters. He also was able to draw 70 walks for a second straight season, and his excellent defense at the hot corner kept him in the lineup for all 162 games even when the hits weren't falling. Suarez is a good bounceback candidate for anyone looking for power from the hot corner, and he receives a modest home-park upgrade after getting dealt from Seattle to Arizona this offseason.

ANALYSIS

Stat Review
How does Eugenio Suarez 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.

Suarez's time with the Reds came to an end last March when Cincinnati sent him and Jesse Winker to Seattle for outfielder Jake Fraley and two pitchers. The park downgrade didn't matter for Suarez as he continued to do what he always does; take his walks, strike out and hit homers. His strikeout rate ticked up to a career-high 31.2%, continuing what is now a five-year trend of increase in that number. With that level of swing and miss, Suarez will be prone to slumps. He's the type of player that needs a full season to find his level but in the end he's typically around 30 homers and 80 RBI. If you have the batting-average foundation already in place, Suarez makes a lot of sense in drafts as the third-base position begins to dry up. His 2021 was rocky but keep in mind the Reds were playing him at shortstop and his struggles in the field were clearly affecting him at the plate.
