2022 Fantasy Outlook
Gamel appeared in 122 games with Cleveland and Pittsburgh during the 2021 campaign and slashed .247/.347/.388 with eight homers, 43 runs, 26 RBI and three stolen bases. He served mainly in the strong side of a platoon last year and looks set for significant playing time again in the Pittsburgh outfield. While he may sit against some lefties, he could hit in the top half of the lineup against righties. Gamel lacks upside, but he could be a solid compiler in NL-only leagues or draft-and-hold formats.

Sitting against lefty
Gamel is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.
ANALYSIS
Game is 0-for-13 in his past four games and will take a seat with southpaw Justin Steele pitching Wednesday for Chicago. Jack Suwinski will shift to left field while Diego Castillo starts in right.

Stat Review
How does Ben Gamel 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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
2019
2018
2017
Gamel owns a minor-league career slash line of .290/.350/.408 in over 3,000 PA over the years, and a .261/.331/.388 line in nearly 1,400 PA at the big-league level. That slash line could work for a middle infielder, but for an outfielder with middling defense who does not steal bases and cannot hit lefties, it is tough to keep in the majors. Gamel was a starter in 2017, but the flaws surfaced with the extra playing time and he has been relegated to platoon work since. Milwaukee non-tendered Gamel in early December, leaving him to find a new home for his bench skills. He is still accepting of his walks, but has seen a large surge in strikeouts the past two seasons without any gains in his production. Perhaps focusing on shortening his swing to leverage his OBP skills against righties could help him land on his feet in another platoon situation.
