2024 Fantasy Outlook
Acquired from Seattle prior to the 2022 season, Fraley has emerged as a quality platoon outfielder/DH in his two years with Cincinnati. He spent time on the injured list last season with wrist and toe injuries, the latter of which required October surgery to repair. Fraley is expected to be fully ready for the start of spring training in 2024. Reds manager David Bell was rigid in his usage of Fraley, limiting him to a mere four starts and 41 plate appearances against left-handed pitching all season. When he had the platoon advantage, Fraley slashed .268/.348/.467 with all 15 of his home runs. He's done a better job of being aggressive within the strike zone, adding nearly 12 percentage points to his Z-Swing% over the past two years, and the speed element of his game showed up in 2023 in the form of 21 steals in 26 attempts. The fact that he doesn't play against lefty pitching limits his counting-stat upside, but among strict platoon bats in MLB, Fraley is right up there with (or just behind) the best. Read Past Outlooks

2017
Fraley was acquired by the Reds from the Mariners just before the start of the 2022 campaign, and he took a major step forward when available with an .812 OPS and 12 home runs in 247 plate appearances. The problem being he was sidelined for much of the summer with knee and toe injuries and played in only 68 games. Still, Fraley cut his strikeout rate nearly five percentage points to 21.9 percent and took advantage of playing at hitter-friendly Great American Ball Park with a .287/.362/.511 slash line at home. The Reds aren't likely to make any significant splashes in free agency, so Fraley should receive regular playing time to open 2023. He could be a decent depth option for mix-league fantasy formats and could especially have value as a streamer for homestands.
