2021 Fantasy Outlook
Aguilar's forgettable 2019 campaign, in which he hit just .236/.325/.389 with 12 homers, made his 2018 breakout look like a fluke, so he was very much an afterthought during draft season. Those who wound up with him anyway were quite pleased with the results, as he finished last season with eight homers in 51 games and a .277/.352/.457 slash line. He didn't come close to matching his .539 slugging percentage from 2018, though playing in Miami rather than Milwaukee was certainly a factor there. He actually didn't make any louder contact than he did during his poor 2019 campaign, with his exit velocity dropping negligibly from 89.4 mph to 89.3 mph, though he made more contact than ever before, cutting his strikeout rate for the third straight season down to 18.5%. If those gains hold, he should remain a perfectly playable lower-tier option at first base, especially if the Marlins remain competitive this year. Read Past Outlooks

Fighting for playing time at 1B
Aguilar is expected to split time at first base with Garrett Cooper to begin the season, Barry Jackson of The Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
"In general, we feel like we are going to get both of those guys a lot of at-bats with a combination of first base and outfield," manager Don Mattingly said Monday. "Days off for different guys. We want both of these guys in the lineup as much as possible." Aguilar rebounded from a disappointing 2019 to post a .277/.352/.457 slash line in 51 games last season, but Cooper was very productive with his opportunities as well. As a result, it might take a trade, or the last-minute re-introduction of the DH to the National League, for either one to see anything close to a full-time role, even before considering the potential presence of prospect Lewin Diaz in the mix.

Stat Review
How does Jesus Aguilar 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.

Aguilar took a big step back from his breakout power year in Milwaukee and found himself traded to Tampa Bay at the deadline, where he was stuck starting against lefties with the Rays riding the Ji-Man Choi Express against righties. He will have another opportunity to carve out significant playing time after the rebuilding Marlins claimed him off waivers, but he will still have to earn at-bats against righties. The quality of his contact suffered last year, and perhaps that was due to the inconsistent playing time, as that was not the case in Milwaukee in 2017 and 2018. One could be interested in going back to the well for Aguilar one more time given what he has done in recent history and the lack of quality fantasy depth at first base. It should be noted that Aguilar overperformed his expected stats in the seasons that give us hope, so that two-year run may end up representing his career peak.
