2023 Fantasy Outlook
After Gimenez's showing in 2022, it seems safe to say the Guardians indeed found their long-term shortstop in the Francisco Lindor trade. Gimenez was 40% better than league average by wRC+ in 2022, racking up 17 homers and 20 steals on 23 attempts. Factoring in his exceptional defense, Gimenez ranked as a top-15 position player in all of baseball by fWAR. There are reasons to think he was playing over his head offensively last season, including a .353 BABIP, .257 xBA and 14.0% HR/FB. Expect some regression with the rate stats, but Gimenez should still be highly sought after in drafts thanks to his well-rounded skill set and everyday role. With his steals in particular, someone may jump the 24-year-old above ADP on draft day. Read Past Outlooks

How does Andres Gimenez 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.

Recent RotoWire Articles Featuring Andres Gimenez See More

Todd Zola takes a look at hitters he has ranked ahead of the pack in the RotoWire Top 300 Roundtable, and isn't sure why everyone else is so down on Ozzie Albies.

The RotoWire Roundtable is back early this year, featuring an unsurprising consensus top pick followed by plenty of disagreement.

James Anderson put together a super-early top 300 for 2024 redraft fantasy baseball leagues and Ronald Acuna was the undisputed choice atop the rankings.

Ryan Boyer steps up with Lineup Lowdown, a deep dive into American League batting orders showing trends and hot hitters, including Boston's Alex Verdugo hitting out of the leadoff spot.

In leagues where speed is a premium commodity on draft day, Gimenez was rocketing up boards last March after a decent spring training that led to many expecting regular at-bats. He played pretty regularly in April, but after logging a .636 OPS in the first month, his playing time became more sporadic. By mid-May, he was demoted to Triple-A, where he stayed until early-August. He logged a .702 OPS over those final 39 games. Gimenez is a good defensive infielder and went 11-for-11 on stolen-base attempts while riding a .282 OBP across 68 games, so his speed ceiling is still very high if he were to get steady playing time while getting on base at the .320 clip he posted after rejoining the big club. Cleveland has several prized middle-infield prospects who should debut in 2023 and beyond, so this will likely be Gimenez's last chance to show he is more than a utility infielder. He makes for an affordable speed flier if you missed out on an earlier target.
