2024 Fantasy Outlook
Berti played in a career-high 133 games with the Marlins in 2023 and posted a career-best .294 batting average while registering his highest OPS (.748) since 2019. It was enough to convince the Marlins that he was worth bringing back on a $3.63 million club option for 2024. Oddly enough, though, his fantasy stock is lower now than it was a year ago. Berti stole 41 bases in 46 attempts in 2022, pacing all major leaguers in that category despite operating in a utility role. He was more of an everyday guy last season but tallied only 16 steals in 22 tries. If he is not swiping bags at an elite pace, and with that .294 batting average looking unrepeatable, the 34-year-old is more of an off-and-on waiver-wire type than a draft-day consideration.

Ready for utility role
Berti got the start at third base and went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Mets.
ANALYSIS
Batting leadoff, Berti drew a free pass off a tiring Jose Quintana in the fifth inning, advanced to third on a Dane Myers single and came around to score on a Jesus Sanchez groundout. Berti has seen most of his action this spring at the hot corner but has also played shortstop for a few games, batting .250 (7-for-28) with a 3:9 BB:K and one steal in two attempts. The 34-year-old will fill a utility role on the Marlins' infield again this season, and while his 16-for-22 performance on the basepaths in 2023 was disappointing, he did record an average sprint speed in the 95th percentile. A bounceback performance in the category isn't out of the question after he led the majors with 41 steals in 2022.

Stat Review
How does Jon Berti 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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
2020
For a three-week stretch from mid-June into July, Berti was right up there among the most valuable players in rotisserie fantasy. He stole 15 bases in a 21-game span before a left groin strain briefly interrupted the fun. Berti missed close to a month and later battled some hip trouble, but regardless he led the majors in steals by a comfortable margin with 41. While he does not project as a true everyday player, the stolen bases and multi-position eligibility (2B, 3B) keep Berti relevant in roto leagues. That's an important distinction as Berti's bat does not clear the bar in most points formats. Berti has never exceeded six home runs in a major-league season and owns a .352 SLG in four seasons with Miami. If you need to be competitive in the SB category in order to rack up standings points, Berti can be plugged in as needed, ideally to a middle or corner spot.
