2024 Fantasy Outlook
Julien finished seventh in the AL rookie of the year voting as he looks like a potential star for the Twins. Julien offers a mix of exceptional plate discipline and power. He had a .381 OBP and drew walks at a near league-leading 15.7% clip. He also hit 16 home runs with a .195 ISO and was in the 86th percentile for Barrel Rate. His playing time was limited by platoon issues and his defense, however. He hit just .195 with a .447 OPS against left-handed pitching. He also struggled at times at second base (-3 defensive runs saved) and was blocked by Jorge Polanco (when healthy) which led him to be used frequently at DH and even 1B. The Twins should find a spot for him in the everyday lineup against right-handed pitching and should get more exposure to left-handed pitching as he develops. Read Past Outlooks
Moves down order amid slump
Julien went 0-for-2 in Sunday's loss to the Rangers. He was moved down to eighth in the lineup against a right-handed starter amid a 1-for-25 slump that has lowered his batting average to .199 and his OPS to .674.
ANALYSIS
Julien also has just one walk over his last eight games as well as his struggles since the end of April have accelerated. He was hitting just .147 with a .418 OPS over his last 24 games before Sunday. Moving him down in the order from his usual leadoff spot against right-handed pitchers is a sign of his recent troubles. His slump has lasted long enough that he may start to lose playing time and it's not out of the question that he could face a trip to the minors to get him back on track .

Stat Review
How does Edouard Julien 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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Chance to be shut down?
Brandon Warne of Access Twins believes the Twins should shut down Julien for the season due to his drop in production and nagging hamstring injury.
ANALYSIS
The 24-year-old rookie operated as Minnesota's primary second baseman for most of the summer but has played in the field just five times dating back to Aug. 22, which is shortly after he tweaked a hamstring. Julien has still regularly been in the lineup at designated hitter, but he has an underwhelming .192/.373/.346 slash line during that 19-game stretch. There's been no indication the Twins are considering shutting Julien down, but that could change if he continues to struggle down the stretch.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Julien generated a lot of dynasty-league buzz over the summer and fall of 2022, but he is a little divisive, as stat-based models love his combination of patience and above-average power, while traditional prospect rankings downgrade him. A 23-year-old lefty hitter from Quebec, Julien slashed .303/.443/.491 with a 24.6 K%, a 19.3 BB% and a strong 32.6 Hard% at Double-A. He then went to the Arizona Fall League and hit .400 with five home runs and more walks (23) than strikeouts (22) in 21 games. His lack of defensive utility means he has to kick the door down in order to get time at second base and designated hitter. Additionally, his below-average athleticism renders his 25 steals in 134 games between Double-A and the AFL nearly irrelevant. Julien will be more valuable in OBP leagues and his extreme patience will suppress his home run and RBI totals in the big leagues, but he still could earn a prime spot in a big-league lineup if he reaches his ceiling. The Twins have a lot of younger bat-first infield/DH types jockeying for playing time, but now that Julien is on the 40-man roster, he should get a chance sometime this summer.
