2025 Fantasy Outlook
Meyers appeared in a career-high 148 games in 2024 by virtue of his solid glove and no one else on the Astros roster capable of handling center field on a regular basis. At the plate, his 86 wRC+ was tied for 11th lowest among batters with at least 500 plate appearances. To be fair, he improved his quality of contact and undershot his expected metrics. Even so, .235 xBA and .382 xSLG are well below average. Meyers and his 89th percentile sprint speed swiped 11 bags, one more than he totaled in the first 213 games of his career. With no one waiting in the wings to challenge Meyers, he's the favorite to return to center field. Even if he maintains his improvement and is rewarded with commensurate results, he's a low-level compiler, draining batting average. Read Past Outlooks
Moving to bench Monday
Meyers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers.
ANALYSIS
Though he's regarded as a strong defender in center field, Meyers' lack of production at the plate is beginning to cost him some playing time. Chas McCormick will pick up another start in center field in place of Meyers, who will hit the bench for the third time in five games while he's produced a poor .592 OPS over his 80 plate appearances on the season.

Stat Review
How does Jake Meyers 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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Meyers was the Opening Day center fielder for the Astros last year and totaled 341 plate appearances during the regular season, chipping in 10 home runs and five stolen bases. He was dropped from the roster for the ALCS as the team welcomed veteran Michael Brantley back from injury, but Meyers is expected to get another chance as the primary center fielder for Houston to begin 2024. While he is not a high-OBP player, Meyers did well to trim his strikeout rate down to a more acceptable level last season (25.8 K%). His defense will buy his bat more time, though the clock is ticking for the 27-year-old. Meyers ranked in the 92nd percentile in terms of sprint speed last season, per Statcast, so there may be some hidden upside in the stolen base department. That said, if the bat doesn't improve, Meyers could shift into a reserve role for a team with World Series aspirations.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Houston could move on
The Astros could move on from Meyers this winter after he posted a .219/.286/.360 slash line over 148 games during the 2024 regular season, reports Chandler Rome of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
The 28-year-old had a career-high 513 plate appearances and provided inconsistent offensive production, though he did tally 13 homers and 11 steals. Meyers once again provided strong outfield defense with plus-six DRS and plus-14 OAA, which could give him an edge to stick around as a bench piece. Fellow outfielder Chas McCormick could also be on the roster bubble after a rough campaign.
