2022 Fantasy Outlook
Hosmer was only rosterable in the deepest of leagues in 2021. While he posted a decent batting average, that was the only positive to his 2021 season. Hosmer played in 151 games, but he hit just 12 home runs (a seven-year low 11.3% HR/FB) due in large part to his 55.5 GB%. The lack of production pushed him down the Padres' lineup and he didn't post over 70 runs or RBI. Additionally, he hit barely over replacement level (.676 OPS) against lefties. He's been this below-average player for years, but for some reason, teams continued to hit him high in the batting order so he used to be counted on for 80 runs and 100 RBI. Those days look to be over. There is a scenario where he could get back to hitting 20 homers, but that's his upside. With so many other first-base options, it's best to look elsewhere.

Launches sixth homer
Hosmer went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Phillies.
ANALYSIS
Hosmer has homered in each of his last two games after going 32 contests without a long ball for much of May and June. The first baseman is up to six homers, 31 RBI, 25 runs scored, 12 doubles and a .282/.346/.407 slash line through 64 contests overall. While his power is getting back on track, he's batting just .197 (14-for-71) in June, so he'll need to improve his overall approach at the plate.

Stat Review
How does Eric Hosmer 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.

Despite a pair of stints on the injured list, Hosmer enjoyed his finest season as a Padre in 2020, playing a key role in helping to end the team's 14-year playoff drought. The veteran significantly altered his approach at the plate, as evidenced by pronounced jumps in his average launch angle (8.7 degrees) and pull rate (35.0%). Those adjustments helped fuel an increase in barrel rate and lifted Hosmer to a 15.9 AB/HR, easily the highest mark of his career. Fortunately, the newfound pop did not come at the expense of more strikeouts, as Hosmer's 17.9 K% was his lowest in three seasons. The end result was a 127 wRC+, his first above-average mark in that category since joining San Diego. Fantasy managers will understandably be wary of Hosmer's ability to extend the production over a full season, making him a potential value pick in 2021.
