2024 Fantasy Outlook
Florial has spent parts of the last four seasons in the majors, with increasing plate appearances each season. Last season, he spent most of September with the Yankees, posting a .635 OPS in 71 plate appearances. Before his callup, Florial dominated with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, putting up a .284/.380/.565 line in 482 plate appearances, featuring 28 homers and 25 stolen bases. However, he fanned 29.9 percent of the time, which will be the key to handling major league pitching. Florial will get that chance with the Guardians, after the Yankees dealt him to acquire pitcher Cody Morris. There is more opportunity with Cleveland, with only Steven Kwan assured of a spot in the Guardians outfield. Florial doesn't chase, but he makes terribly low contact on those he swings at outside of the zone. If the Guardians can fix that, Florial has the power and speed combination so treasured in the fantasy realm. Read Past Outlooks

Pushing Straw for center field job
Florial is competing with Myles Straw this spring for the Guardians' center field job, Jason Lloyd of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Straw has been the club's primary center fielder since being picked up from the Astros in 2021 and still offers Gold Glove-caliber defense, but he's slashed an anemic .229/.296/.284 over the last two campaigns. Florial, who was acquired via trade from the Yankees this offseason, has just a .609 OPS in 134 plate appearances at the major-league level but collected a .944 OPS with 28 homers and 25 steals in 2023 over 101 games for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The 26-year-old has swing-and-miss issues (29.9 percent strikeout rate at SWB) but certainly would offer more fantasy intrigue than Straw. Florial is also out of minor-league options, so he'll undoubtedly make the Opening Day roster.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021
2020
2019
2018
2017
Florial played in 17 games for the Yankees in 2022 and had a .297 OPS in 35 plate appearances. He spent most of the campaign at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, where he had a .284/.370/.483 slash line with 15 home runs and 39 stolen bases in 101 contests. That level of production is encouraging, but it also came with a 30.2 percent strikeout rate, which has been an issue throughout his time in the minors. Now entering his age-25 season, Florial is unlikely to receive any significant major-league opportunities without cutting down on his whiffs.
