2024 Fantasy Outlook
The fourth overall pick in 2019, Bleday has struggled to find his footing so far in the big leagues. After a disappointing debut with the Marlins in 2022, he was traded last offseason in exchange for A.J. Puk. Bleday got the call to Oakland in May and went on to slash .195/.310/.355 with 10 homers and five steals in 82 games before missing most of the final two months with a left ACL sprain. He showed some good things last season, including quality pitch selection which led to a 13.9 BB%. However, Bleday has a baffling .222 BABIP in 147 career games in the majors, and his poor batted-ball numbers show it's not all bad luck. While there may be something here, he currently projects as the fourth outfielder for the A's. Most will want to wait and see until he finds his way into regular at-bats before adding him to a fantasy roster. Read Past Outlooks
Getting breather against LHP
Bleday isn't in Oakland's lineup Thursday against the Angels.
ANALYSIS
With southpaw Kenny Rosenberg slated to start Thursday's game for the Halos, the left-handed bat of Bleday will stay put in Oakland's dugout. Daz Cameron will fill the void in center field and bat seventh.

Stat Review
How does JJ Bleday 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
2023
2021
2020
Bleday, the fourth-overall pick in the 2019 draft, saw his stock dip considerably after a disappointing 2021 season in which he hit just .212/.323/.373 in 110 Double-A games. He was promoted to Triple-A at the start of last year and rebounded to post an .835 OPS in 85 games, earning him his first big-league callup in late July. His past struggles in the minors meant he debuted with less fanfare than one might expect for a recent top-five pick, and those who nonetheless remained interested came away disappointed. In 65 games, Bleday hit just 167/.277/.309 with five homers and four steals. While a .216 BABIP helped suppress his average, his .190 xBA still paints a worrisome picture. His 28.2 K% was poor, and when he did make contact, his average launch angle of 25 degrees resulted in too many weak flyouts. That suggests he'll continue to be a batting-average hole, and his sub-par 33.8% hard-hit rate means he's unlikely to hit for enough power to make up for it, even with so many flyballs.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Option for Pittsburgh?
Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette listed Bleday as a "realistic" trade target for the Pirates this summer.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old is in the midst of a breakout campaign for Oakland with 10 homers and an .809 OPS through 77 games, and the organization could elect to sell high after he posted a .631 OPS in his first two MLB seasons. Pirates center fielders are hitting just .206 with a 32.3 percent strikeout rate this year, and Bleday would certainly be an upgrade at the position. He won't be arbitration eligible until 2026, so the Athletics may require a solid trade package in order to move him.
