Owings sputtered to a .139/.209/.233 slash line with the Red Sox and Royals in 2019, and his move to the Rockies presented some promise for the struggling hitter. The 29-year-old played well over the first several weeks of the season, but he suffered a strained hamstring in August that ended his season. In total, Owings had a career-best .757 OPS over a very limited sample of 17 games. While his numbers during his minimal time on the field were much closer to his career average, he's still a below-average performer heading into free agency. Owings has struggled to make contact in recent seasons. His swinging-strike rate climbed to 18.1% in 2020, and his 79.1 Z-Contact% was the lowest of his career. The 29-year-old also struggled with plate discipline, posting a 44.1 O-Swing% last season. He's done little in recent years to make him a viable fantasy option and could have to settle for a backup role in 2021.
