2021 Fantasy Outlook
Ozuna signed a pillow contract with Atlanta once the free-agent market dried up for him last winter, and if not for his own teammate in Atlanta, Ozuna could very well have been the 2020 NL MVP. Ozuna had exactly the type of season a pending free agent wants to have as he was an absolute monster in the middle of the Atlanta lineup setting career highs in walk rate, batting average, OBP, SLG, ISO, and exit velocity. His Statcast measures for what happened when he made contact were all within the top 6% of the league in 2020. Now comes the challenge of which team is going to pony up the cash to sign this impact bat. The power plays anywhere; a universal DH would open up suitors considerably because he is a liability if he has to be in the field everyday. He was a 2020 bargain, but he likely won't slide past the fourth round in 2021. Read Past Outlooks

Launches two homers
Ozuna went 4-for-5 with two home runs, a double, three runs and four RBI during Thursday's Game 4 win over the Dodgers.
ANALYSIS
The 29-year-old hit a solo homer during the fourth inning and his RBI double during the sixth gave the Braves a 3-1 lead while chasing starter Clayton Kershaw. Ozuna is 11-for-40 with three homers, three doubles, 10 RBI and 14 strikeouts through nine playoff games as the Braves are one win away from advancing to the World Series.

Recent RotoWire Articles Featuring Marcell Ozuna

Jason Collette continues his Bold Predictions series with the National League West. Is Will Smith destined to be fantasy's top catcher this year?

Jason Collette kicks off his annual Bold Predictions series with a pair of predictions for each of the five teams in the American League West. Is he in or out on Yuli Gurriel?

Todd Zola wraps up his positional tiers with the outfield, and finds he can't quit Marcell Ozuna even without knowing what uniform he'll be wearing in 2021.

Todd Zola looks at how early selections can impact subsequent picks when constructing a roster, and why simply taking the "best" player available isn't always the best course of action.

Chances are, 2017 will always be the outlier for Ozuna. He slugged 37 homers that year and ranked as the 13th-best rate contributor in the game by wRC+ (143). He has largely underperformed in the three seasons around 2017, with wRC+ marks ranging from 107 to 110 despite elite batted-ball numbers. His BA dipped close to 40 points in his second season with the Cardinals, though his average exit velocity and hard-hit rate both ranked within the top 7% of the league. His xBA was .288. Ozuna walked at a career-best clip (11.3%) and ran more than he ever had in the majors, stealing 12 bases in 14 attempts. Even with the uptick in walks, Ozuna still lags a little bit in the OBP department, and his defense is shaky at times, but the 29-year-old will continue to play every day after signing a one-year deal with Atlanta and will see a significant boost in park factors. A return to $20 hitter status is entirely possible.
