2022 Fantasy Outlook
Following a surprising power surge in the first half of 2021, Hernandez cooled off after a midseason trade to the White Sox and now finds himself on a one-year deal with the Nationals. The veteran infielder is atop the depth chart at second base and manager Dave Martinez said at the outset of camp that he wants Hernandez leading off for his revamped Washington lineup. Hernandez is a pretty uninspiring player at this point in his career, but there is something to be said for an everyday starter who played 149 games a season ago and missed a total of four games from 2018-20. If he's able to lock down the top spot in the batting order, Hernandez could be a sneaky source of runs hitting ahead of the likes of Juan Soto and Nelson Cruz. His stolen bases have dried up in recent years, but Hernandez ranked in the 89th percentile in sprint speed last season, per Statcast. Read Past Outlooks

Three hits in Sunday's loss
Hernandez went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Sunday's loss to the Angels.
ANALYSIS
After seeing his 12-game hitting streak snapped Saturday, Hernandez wasted no time starting another. The veteran second baseman still isn't supplying any power, but he's batting .279 through 30 games with two steals, seven RBI and 17 runs.

Stat Review
How does Cesar Hernandez 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.

Hernandez had been a league-average hitter over his final five seasons in Philadelphia, recording a wRC+ of exactly 100 over that stretch. He performed slightly better than that in his first season in Cleveland, as his .283/.355/.388 slash line was good for a 108 wRC+, though his overall production wasn't particularly exciting for fantasy purposes. He homered just three times and failed to even attempt a single steal after swiping an average of 15.8 bases over the previous five campaigns. There were some moderately encouraging signs in his batted-ball profile, as his 89.1 mph exit velocity and 37.3% hard-hit rate were personal bests, though neither mark is particularly exciting, and he also saw his strikeout rate jump nearly seven points to 21.8%. The veteran should remain a player who isn't embarrassing to roster next season, but he won't be an exciting option even if he steals a few more bases.
