2025 Fantasy Outlook
Players who hit the ball without much authority are subject to more variance than those generating elevated exit velocity. In 2023, McCarthy was sent to the minors twice, both after a horrid BABIP (.160 in April and .208 in August). Last year, he avoided a similar fate by maintaining monthly levels between .272 and .417. McCarthy also posted a career-best 15.8 percent strikeout rate, the third straight season with a decline. He stole 25 bases in 142 contests, but considering he swiped 49 in 198 games over the prior two seasons, 2024's total was disappointing. McCarthy's defense is palatable, but it's not going to keep him in the lineup. Despite the bounce-back season, he's the same player, sporting one of the lowest average exit velocities and hard-hit rates in the league, but he doesn't fan much and sports 98th percentile sprint speed. Cheap steals are his asset, but not as a primary source. Read Past Outlooks

On base in four straight
McCarthy went 1-for-4 with a triple and an RBI in Sunday's 6-4 loss to Miami.
ANALYSIS
McCarthy put the Diamondbacks on the board, delivering a run with a second-inning triple to tie the game at 1-1. It was his fifth consecutive start since being called up from Triple-A Reno and fourth straight game getting on base. McCarthy's first stint this season in the majors was marked by an inability to get on base (.170 OBP), but with Corbin Carroll (wrist) on the mend over the next couple of weeks, McCarthy should get plenty of opportunities to show that earlier performance was a fluke.

How does Jake McCarthy 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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2019
McCarthy entered the 2023 season with plenty of fantasy buzz after finishing the previous year with a flourish. Unfortunately, he found himself back in the minors before the end of April following a slow start. He returned after a month on the farm and hit .311 with 15 stolen bases during a 31-game stretch, but that surge in production wound up being short-lived. McCarthy hardly played in the final two months of the season and was removed from the Diamondbacks' Wild Card Series roster due to an oblique injury. The 26-year-old has been an elite base stealer with 49 swipes since 2022 as a semi-regular. His quality of contact (23.7 percent hard-hit rate in 2023) has been woeful, though, and he hasn't graded out well defensively, so getting enough consistent playing time to take advantage of those wheels is a legitimate question. Arizona re-signed Lourdes Gurriel, which could push McCarthy to a reserve role.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Receives support from GM
Regarding a potential trade of McCarthy this summer, Diamondbacks GM Mike Hazen said Wednesday, "he's one of our best players. Like, why would I do that," reports Kevin Zimmerman of ArizonaSports.com.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old seemed unlikely to make Arizona's season-opening roster given the offseason acquisitions of Randal Grichuk and Joc Pederson, but Grichuk started the campaign on the IL and Alek Thomas went down with a hamstring injury Opening Day. McCarthy has taken advantage of his opportunities through 59 games in 2024 with three homers, nine steals and a .276/.361/.393 slash line.
