2021 Projections
2021 Fantasy Outlook
Coming into a short season, we knew anything was possible. What we did not expect was to see Mondesi have two different seasons within the same one. Mondesi finished August with a .186/.211/.240 slash line, scoring 11 runs and going 8-for-13 in the steals department. That is far from the line people were hoping for taking him in the top 3-4 rounds of 2020 drafts. September was a completely different story as he hit .356/.408/.667 with six homers, 22 runs scored, 20 RBI and 16 steals in 19 attempts on the bases. Many fantasy champions likely have him to thank for that amazing September. However, on the whole, it was yet another season of a sub-.300 OBP and a continued slide down from his 2018 season. The walks are still rare and the strikeout continue to be too high, but the speed allows him to beat out most infield contact for hits. High-risk/high-reward is the name of the game, with the risk being higher. Read Past Outlooks

Avoids arbitration with Royals
Mondesi agreed to a one-year, $2.52 million contract with the Royals on Friday, avoiding arbitration.
ANALYSIS
Perhaps the most divisive player in fantasy baseball heading into 2021 drafts, Mondesi could lead the majors in steals by a wide margin. However, it's easy to point out that his plate skills are quite poor relative to the players who typically get drafted in the first couple rounds of drafts. He should be able to stay in the lineup even amid long slumps, as his defense at shortstop is extremely valuable and he is still just 25 years old.

How does Adalberto Mondesi 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.

The dream of a 70- or even 80-steal season died in July when Mondesi suffered a left shoulder subluxation shortly after his return from a groin injury. He had been running wild over the first few months, stealing 27 bags in 30 attempts. He continued to run in September until he hurt his shoulder again. Mondesi was sent for surgery in October and given a 5-to-6 month timetable, but he is expected to be ready for Opening Day. On top of the injury, there's still the question as to whether Mondesi can hit. In 2018, Mondesi was able to overcome downright bad plate discipline and slug close to .500, but the quality of his connections deteriorated last season (5.4 Brls/PA, 87.9 avg. exit velocity). His xwOBA ranked in the bottom 17th percentile among players with 100 PA. Speed is extremely scarce and Mondesi can carry the day in that category, but he needs to hit enough for it to really matter.
