2024 Fantasy Outlook
Bethancourt worked as Tampa Bay's 1A option behind the plate in 2023, but he was waived in the offseason after he posted a .225/.254/.381 slash line in 104 games. He had decent power with 11 homers and was solid behind the plate but had a 27.4 percent strikeout rate and 4.0 percent walk rate. The veteran backstop latched on with the Marlins and will provide a veteran presence alongside Nick Fortes. Bethancourt is a capable big leaguers but is unlikely to have much fantasy utility.

Records steal Tuesday
Bethancourt went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 5-0 loss to the Pirates.
ANALYSIS
Bethancourt has hit safely in his last five games, going 7-for-17 (.412) with 10 RBI and two steals in that span. A seven-RBI game last Wednesday versus the Pirates has fueled much of his recent success. The backup catcher is now at a .224/.262/.414 slash line with three steals, five home runs, 22 RBI and 18 runs scored over 51 contests between the Cubs and the Marlins this season.

2013
2012
Bethancourt played in the majors last season for the first time since 2017, and he put together a solid campaign between Oakland and Tampa Bay with a 101 wRC+ (.252/.283/.409 slash line). He was also a strong defender behind the plate, putting him in position to potentially start for the Rays in 2023. A 3.6 percent walk rate leaves much to be desired, but his average and slugging should be replicable with a .255 xBA and .449 xSLG that indicates he deserved some better results. Bethancourt is unlikely to work as an everyday catcher but should at least split time with Francisco Mejia, who so far has failed to live up to his prospect hype.
