2022 Fantasy Outlook
The Swiss army knife of Major League Baseball, Taylor returns to the Dodgers after re-signing with the team ahead of the lockout in December. Taylor is coming off an extremely productive season in which he slashed .254/.344/.438 with 20 homers, 73 RBI, 92 runs scored and 13 stolen bases as the club's super-utility man. He was a first-time All-Star in 2021 on the strength of a .277/.382/.452 line in the first half. The versatility and well-rounded production make Taylor appealing even in shallow mixed leagues where he can sometimes be overlooked given he's not a superstar player. Taylor enters the year with multi-position eligibility (2B/SS/OF) and plenty of playing time on the horizon, especially with the new contract and the subtraction of Corey Seager from the roster.

Stat Review
How does Chris Taylor 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.

2014
Taylor saw action at four different positions plus designated hitter during the 2020 campaign and continued to provide plus defense. The 30-year-old entered the season in a downward trend, but he was a lineup fixture during the shortened slate and played in all but four games. Taylor rediscovered the form from his breakout 2016 season with a .270/.366/.476 slash line, eight home runs, 10 doubles, three stolen bases and 32 RBI in 56 games. He also posted the best walk rate (12.3%) of his career. He shouldn't be expected to replicate those numbers in 2021, but an improvement over his sub-.800 OPS from 2018-2019 is reasonable. The Dodgers may give youngster Gavin Lux a look at second base next season, but the potential departures of Justin Turner, Joc Pederson and Enrique Hernandez in free agency should leave Taylor plenty of opportunities as he enters the final year of his contract.
