2021 Projections
2021 Fantasy Outlook
Dozier spent the majority of the 2020 season without a team, excluding a brief stint with the Mets. Despite his inability to latch on with a team, a large portion of his skillset remains in place. Notably, he still managed respectable ISOs of .175 and .192 in 2018 and 2019, respectively. He also kept his strikeout rate in line with his career -- hovering around 20%. In other respects, Dozier has shown signs of decline. He has lost some aggressiveness at the plate, as his swing rate has remained below 40% since 2018. Similarly, Dozier's quality of contact has also dissipated. After reaching 8% barrel rates in his prime, he managed marks of 6.3% and 6.7% during his last two full seasons. Heading into the 2021 season, Dozier remains without a team and is likely to struggle to find regular playing time. Even if he does, a full bounce-back doesn't seem likely for the soon to be 34-year-old. Read Past Outlooks

Stat Review
How does Brian Dozier 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.

2012
After struggling in 2018 with the Twins and Dodgers, Dozier got off to a slow start in 2019, hitting .209 with a 26.9 K% through the end of May. He brought his average up slightly over the remainder of the season, finishing with a .238 mark, but also finished with a career-low 74.8% contact rate. Dozier hit 20 home runs, his sixth straight year reaching 20, but he basically stopped running and was caught on the basepaths more times than he was successful (3-for-7 on SB attempts). Dozier lost playing time as the season progressed and logged just a single plate appearance in the World Series before hitting free agency again this winter. The steals should not be expected to return as Dozier's sprint speed is middle of the pack as he approaches age 33, and without those, there's not much here to like.
