2023 Fantasy Outlook
A calf strain and subsequent setback cost Wong three weeks. He would go on to slash .281/.372/.490 with nine homers and seven steals in 64 games after the All-Star break, although he lost time to lefties as his struggles against them mounted (.138/.266/.175 vs. LHP for the season). Wong hit .294 against southpaw pitching in 2021, but he has an obvious platoon partner in Dylan Moore after getting sent to Seattle in the Jesse Winker deal, so a loose platoon should be expected to begin 2023. Wong has proven to be productive against righties in his career with a solid average and a splash of both power and speed. He has only cleared 500 plate appearances twice in the majors and yet has recorded double-digit homers and steals on five occasions. His speed is waning as he pushes closer to his mid-30s, perhaps leaving some question about the sustainability of his stolen bases. Read Past Outlooks

Sets table out of bottom of order
Wong went 0-for-2 with two walks and two runs in a loss to the Pirates on Friday.
ANALYSIS
The veteran infielder worked out of the bottom of the order, teeing up Julio Rodriguez and J.P. Crawford for RBI opportunities in the fifth and seventh innings, respectively. Wong's start was only his fourth since May 15 and once again came as a result of an off day for the productive Jose Caballero, who's occasionally been given a seat against right-handed pitching. Wong's still slashing an abysmal .167/.259/.196 across 116 plate appearances.

How does Kolten Wong 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.

Wong has turned himself into a nice triple-threat fantasy option, providing power, speed and a nice batting average. While most of his profile remained constant in 2021, he did hit a career-high 14 homers in fewer than 500 plate appearances during his first year with the Brewers. He dealt with some mid-season injuries (oblique, calf). Before the injuries, he was hitting .280/.343/.441, but his slash line dropped to .250/.318/.417 after he returned from the second IL stint. Another issue was his highest strikeout rate since his rookie season as it increased to 16.9%. Those are relatively small flaws from an otherwise safe and productive player. He's found a home in Milwaukee where he can play every day, when healthy. Roster away.
