2022 Fantasy Outlook
Rizzo had a second consecutive disappointing season, but this time it was a full six-month campaign. His strikeout rate was typically low, but his batted ball profile yielded a low HR/FB and low BABIP. His flyball rate increased, but it was mitigated by a low HR/FB, resulting in many flyball outs. Further, Rizzo's line drive rate declined, doing more damage to his BABIP. Rizzo's average exit velocity was a career-high, though his mark on flyballs dipped a bit, explaining the low HR/FB. It appears Rizzo's underlying metrics are still mostly intact; he just had a prolonged stretch of bad luck on batted balls. A batting average rebound is likely, though Rizzo may fall short of a full bounce back in power. The good news is, after two down seasons, the market has soured on Rizzo, so the cost of acquisition is significantly discounted. Read Past Outlooks

Sitting again Tuesday
Rizzo is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mariners.
ANALYSIS
Rizzo will sit out for the fifth straight contest as he continues to deal with lower-back tightness. According to Jack Curry of YES Network, manager Aaron Boone said the 33-year-old will go through a full workout Tuesday, and if all goes well he should be back in the lineup Wednesday. DJ LeMahieu will remain at first base with Gleyber Torres receiving another start at the keystone.

How does Anthony Rizzo 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.

When models of consistency do not perform to expected levels, it is always frustrating, whether it be when the erstwhile laptop does not boot up on first attempt or when Rizzo stinks out of nowhere. For the past five seasons, we've been able to bank a solid average, 25-plus homers and 90-plus RBI with a handful of steals as we build the rest of our roster around his stability. Prorating his 2020 numbers would have gotten the desired homers, but the run production was way down as most of the roster around him had issues, and his batting average was a career worst. We hadn't seen numbers this bad since his sophomore slump in 2012. Like many hitters, fastballs were a problem in 2020 for Rizzo as his average against them dropped 103 points from 2019 while his slugging fell 220 points. We must lean on the track record here rather than let 60 games outweigh the previous 600 games. Pending free agency is a big motivator; buy back in.
