2021 Fantasy Outlook
The Cardinals opted to decline the 30-year-old's $12.5 million club option for 2021, bringing his 10-year run in the organization to an end. Wong had a career-low .676 OPS with only seven extra-base hits in 53 games last season. His defense remains strong as he won his second consecutive Gold Glove at second base. The lack of pop was his main issue -- the .326 SLG was one of the worst in the league among qualified hitters. That should improve in 2021; he slugged .408 over the previous three years heading into the shortened season and as a lefty sees a big park upgrade with an offseason move to the Brewers. The potential for steals is also there -- he had 24 stolen bases in 2019 -- though Wong's numbers in that category have fluctuated wildly throughout his career. Wong batted leadoff for St. Louis most of last season and might be a fit there for Milwaukee. Read Past Outlooks

Nearing activation
Wong (oblique) is taking batting practice and participating in fielding drills Monday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.comreport.
ANALYSIS
Wong was sent to the 10-day injured list April 10 with oblique soreness, but he's expected to be activated from the injured list later in the week, likely during Milwaukee's upcoming series with the Cubs. He's off to a slow start to the 2021 campaign, going just 2-for-19 with five walks in seven contests.

Stat Review
How does Kolten Wong 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.

Finally we saw the type of complete season we have wanted to see from Wong since he teased his potential back in 2014. The run production, the speed and the batting average all came together for the second baseman in 2019, turning a nice profit for owners who picked up the 2018 disappointment in the endgame. It was the perfect case of making the most of the talents you're given, because Wong is not a guy who hits the ball very hard. In fact, his average exit velocity was in the bottom 2% of all qualified hitters, and his hard-hit rate was in the bottom 10th percentile. The seasons where his BABIP is good, he has hit .285. When the BABIP is not high, his average suffers. The 12 homers he hit in 2014 remain a career high, and since the juiced ball and extra playing time in 2019 did not get him more homers, that number will remain safe. His 2015 line could very well be repeated here five seasons later.
