2024 Fantasy Outlook
Taveras has been on the fantasy periphery for awhile, but 2023 was the first time we have seen the production begin to match the hype. The 25-year old outfielder finished the season with a palindromic 14 homers, 67 runs, 67 RBIs, and 14 steals over 143 games. The switch hitter continued to do most of his damage from the left side hitting 12 of those 14 homers off righties and hitting 34 points better against them than southpaws. Taveras' season was most frontloaded as he struggled after the break dealing with hand soreness and hit just .233 with four homers after the break. His defense and baserunning keep him in the lineup nearly everyday as long as his body holds up, but his spot in the lineup is what ultimately limits his upside as he should once again hit in the lower third of the lineup. His 2023 is very repeatable and a 20-20 season is possible should Bochy decide to leverage the running game more often in 2024. Read Past Outlooks

Stat Review
How does Leody Taveras 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.

2017
Taveras is in a tenuous situation in that his speed and defense are good skills, but the Rangers have plenty of players with that profile these days with both Eli White and Bubba Thompson possessing those same skills and at the same position as Taveras. Leody has the leg up, in a way, as he is out of options while the other two are not which all but guarantees Taveras breaks camp with a job whether it be with Texas or another club. His speed is elite, yet his stolen base track record is anything but as he was caught five times in 16 tries last season. The Triple-A numbers continue to offer some promise, but it would be nice if that success came east with him from Surprise, Arizona after spring training since he cannot go back to Round Rock without being exposed to waivers.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
![TEX](https://content.rotowire.com/images/teamlogo/baseball/100TEX.png?v=6)
Role not secure
Taveras' starting spot could be in jeopardy once the Rangers return to full strength, reports Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old hit the bench Wednesday for the second time in the past five games, but he delivered a two-run homer off the bench for his first extra-base hit of June. Taveras has a .612 OPS this season and has especially struggled this month, going 4-for-50 with 29.6 percent strikeout rate in 16 games. Evan Carter should remain sidelined by his back injury for at least the next couple weeks, but Taveras may not retain his everyday role in center field much longer if he's unable to build on Wednesday's long ball.
