2022 Fantasy Outlook
Mateo has a perfect situation in 2022 in that he plays for a terrible club and he is out of minor-league options, so he should be given ample opportunity to show his athleticism can stick in the major leagues. Mateo has stolen nearly 300 bases in the minors with a 78% success rate with his only power coming in the year of the rabbit ball combined with playing in the PCL (19 homers in 2019). He has otherwise made a career of slashing and dashing impatiently, putting the ball into play to leverage his lightning-quick speed. He played five different positions for Baltimore last season, and comes into the season qualifying at both middle infield spots with the likelihood to earn outfield eligibility in-season. If you are looking for a late-round speed gamble, this is your guy. Ramon Urias and Kelvin Gutierrez are also out of options, making the early part of the season almost an open tryout to see which infielder sticks. Read Past Outlooks

Registers 11th steal
Mateo went 1-for-3 with a stolen base, an RBI and a run scored during Thursday's 9-6 win over the Yankees. He struck out twice.
ANALYSIS
Mateo gave the Orioles a 3-2 lead with an RBI single in the third and proceed to steal second base, his 11th of the season. The shortstop also reached on catcher's interference in the sixth and came around to score on a Cedric Mullins sacrifice fly. Mateo is only hitting .237 to start the season, but his 11 steals are tied with Julio Rodriguez for the most in the majors.

2016
A mid-summer trade to San Diego appeared to crack open a door for Mateo as the Padres had yet to identify a starter at second base at the time. However, Mateo was set back after contracting COVID-19 and consequently missed most of summer camp. When he made his big-league debut, it was as a left-fielder, and he ended up logging more time in the outfield than the infield over the course of the campaign. That versatility could help him get opportunities, but San Diego's roster is even stronger than it was a year ago, so the speedster is certain to be limited to a reserve role if he does make the cut. That's far from a sure thing, as Mateo struggled mightily at the plate last season, collecting only four hits in 26 at-bats and registering a 39.3 K%. Strikeouts and poor pitch recognition have dogged Mateo throughout his professional career, snuffing much of the excitement over his top-flight speed.
