2022 Fantasy Outlook
A very strong defensive backstop, Heim played roughly half the time for Texas last season, hitting .196/.239/.358 with 10 home runs and three steals in 285 PA. He belongs on a big-league roster, but the Rangers traded for an upgrade atop the depth chart, acquiring Mitch Garver from the Twins shortly after the lockout. Garver's biggest weakness is his durability, so Heim could still set a career best in plate appearances this year. However, the Garver acquisition relegates Heim primarily to AL-only appeal. Read Past Outlooks
Remains primary backstop
With Mitch Garver expected to serve as designated hitter only for the foreseeable future, per Kennedi Landry of MLB.com, Heim is expected to get most of the starts behind the plate.
ANALYSIS
Garver was activated off the injured list, where he was while recovering from a right forearm strain. He was the DH on Thursday while Heim went 1-for-4 as the starting catcher. It's uncertain when Garver will be cleared to begin a throwing program, which means Heim should get opportunities over the next few games.

How does Jonah Heim 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.

2021 Fantasy Outlook
After a strong showing in the upper minors in 2019, Heim made his big-league debut last year and appeared in 13 games without making much of an impact at the plate. The 25-year-old switch hitter excels at making contact, and he could emerge as a solid OBP source even without the kind of BABIP boost (.395) he saw at Triple-A Las Vegas, but it's his impressive defense that has locked him into the No. 2 spot on the depth chart for the A's. Starter Sean Murphy has a higher offensive ceiling but has also had some injury issues in his career, which should open the door for more playing time for his backup. Heim likely isn't going to supply enough power to be a real difference-maker in the modern fantasy environment, but in deeper formats he could settle in as a catcher who won't hurt you either, along the lines of Francisco Cervelli in his prime.
