2023 Fantasy Outlook
Happ had an interesting season in that his homers came down, but his overall production increased. He reduced his strikeout rate by six full percentage points, and that certainly helped the 45-point imporvement in his batting average as that .271 final figure was the best in six seasons as a big leaguer. Happ also broke the 70 barrier in both runs and RBIs for the first time in his career. The .336 BABIP was the second-highest of his career and his expected stats are not very supportive of the achieved outcomes in 2022. His .305 average against lefties was the first time in five seasons in which Happy has hit above .250 against southpaws as the switch-hitter does most of offensive damage as a lefty. His approach at the plate would be better served hitting first or second in a lineup, but the Cubs primarily used him in the third spot of the lineup last season. That could change should the Cubs alter their roster this winter so be willing to adjust runs or RBI expectations accordingly. Read Past Outlooks

Happ went 1-for-4 with an RBI, a run scored and a steal in Wednesday's loss to the Rays.

How does Ian Happ 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.

It was a tale of two seasons for Happ. There was the pre-trade-deadline Happ, who really struggled at the plate, hitting .180/.294/.326 with 10 homers and one stolen base over four months. Post-deadline Happ hit .288/.363/.581 with 15 homers and eight steals. There are no reports of him being injured to start the season, but signs point to him playing through something. He started the season by hitting for a .146 ISO and doubled it to a .293 ISO for those last two month. Not running was an indicator something was not right. Finally, he lowered his groundball rate from roughly 51% to 39% in those last two months. Besides his power being down a bit, his season-long stats were in line with previous years. On top of all the struggles, he did post a career-high nine thefts. If he did turn a corner over those last two months, there is significant upside.
