Rest-of-Season Projections
2021 Fantasy Outlook
Suzuki put together a solid 2020 campaign at the dish, slashing .270/.349/.396 with two home runs, 17 RBI and a stolen base in 33 contests. The 37-year-old failed to show much pop in the shortened season, but he continues to prove that he can hit for average, even when he's splitting time behind the plate. Suzuki also finished with an impressive .301 BABIP, his best mark in this category since his 2014 season with Minnesota. After playing out the second and final year of his contract with Washington, the veteran will hit the open market and could easily latch on just about anywhere as a backup or on a team without an established catcher as a guy who splits time at the position, which is exactly where he's excelled in previous years.

Stat Review
How does Kurt Suzuki 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 late-career offensive resurgence of Suzuki continued in 2019 as the catcher continues to make the most of his limited playing time. The 63 runs he drove in represented his highest total since the 2010 season, and the 17 homers were the second most of his career. He continues to hit for a solid average from the catching position, and is aging like a fine wine. He will be in the second year of his two-year deal with the World Champs and we should once again expect somewhere around 350 plate appearances with double-digit homers and a .270-ish batting average from him. We don't need him to play more than he does, because this version is productive enough for the position he plays. Even if he decides to start playing his age, these skills will age gracefully. The late-career power has to fade at some point, but when the ball is live, he has taken full advantage of it.
