2024 Fantasy Outlook
His first year in Miami was derailed by hip and back injuries, but 2023 saw a return to form for Soler, who authored his best season since the 2019 juiced-ball year. Soler shaved five percentage points off his strikeout rate and blistered the ball to the tune of a 15.0% barrel rate and .532 xSLG, both of which ranked in the top 10 percent of the league. There may be some giveback with the strikeout rate, but Soler is a world class slugger and retains outfield eligibility after making 32 appearances in right field last season (102 starts at designated hitter). While his defensive limitations could confine him to DH full time in short order, Soler should be in the lineup most days for San Francisco after inking a three-year, $42 million deal with the Giants in February. Oracle Park is another spacious park for the 32-year-old, but his power plays anywhere. Read Past Outlooks
Gets on base four times
Soler went 2-for-2 with two walks and one run scored in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Astros.
ANALYSIS
Soler has found some success at the plate in June, going 11-for-37 (.297) over 10 contests this month. He's also drawn four walks over his last three games, though his 9.6 percent walk rate is still his lowest since 2015. While it's a positive to see the designated hitter make more consistent contact, he's still struggling to hit for power. He's batting .217 with a .661 OPS, seven home runs, 18 RBI, 26 runs scored, nine doubles and no stolen bases over 56 games this season. Soler's lowest OPS in a season is .503 in 2017, but he played in just 35 games that year.

Stat Review
How does Jorge Soler 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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Downplays negotiations with Red Sox
Soler said Tuesday he doesn't believe he and the Red Sox were ever close to a contract when negotiating during the offseason, reports Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald.
ANALYSIS
Boston was believed to be in the mix for the veteran slugger, but talks apparently didn't progress too much before he inked a three-year, $42 million contract with the Giants in February. It never seemed like a strong fit, as the Red Sox already have Masataka Yoshida, who is currently on the IL with a thumb strain, on a $90 million deal as their primary designated hitter. Soler has clubbed five homers during the first month of the campaign for San Francisco, though his .219/.314/.400 slash line and 27.3 percent strikeout rate are underwhelming.

Recurring back and hip injuries truncated Soler's season just after the All-Star break. He was limited to just 72 games while pacing to post his worst season as a regular. He continued to hit fly balls with an elite exit velocity, but a downturn in the number of fly balls as well as an uptick in strikeouts manifested Soler's lowest ISO and slugging since 2017. An unusually low groundball BABIP further lowered Soler's production. The drop is due to more than a full season in Miami since Marlins Park is a tick better for power than Kauffman Stadium. Soler needs to hit for power to be a fantasy asset and heading into 2023 his playing time is in jeopardy. Back issues tend to linger, and Soler will be 31 years old. His ISO and slugging have dropped each of the past three seasons. With no steals and a low batting average, Soler is no longer mixed-league worthy, at least to start the season.
