2024 Fantasy Outlook
There might not have been a prospect to improve their standing more than Matos did last season. He was awful and often injured in the low minors in 2022, but the young outfielder earned a promotion to the big leagues in mid-June after getting off to a blistering .350/.415/.561 start between Double-A Richmond and Triple-A Sacramento. Matos wasn't ever able to get going with the Giants, eventually leading to a couple stints back in the minors during the second half. The struggles weren't surprising given that he was just 21 and had very little upper-minors experience before getting called up. Matos' elite contact rates from the minors (12.2 percent strikeout rate) did carry over to the majors (13 percent) and the hope is that some over-the-fence power will come along as he matures. Ultimately, though, there are still a wide range of outcomes here. Read Past Outlooks

Optioned to Sacramento
The Giants optioned Matos to Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Matos will end up as the odd man out of the Giants' outfield after the team claimed Derek Hill off waivers from Texas on Tuesday. Matos slashed .208/.222/.340 with four RBI in 54 plate appearances after his promotion from Triple-A on June 22, and he will be a likely candidate to return to San Francisco should the team's outfield depth be tested later in the season.

Stat Review
How does Luis Matos 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
2022
2021
2020
There are contextual factors (quad injury in May, .226 BABIP) that didn't help Matos, but there's no denying his 2022 season was among the most disappointing by a top prospect. Always young yet advanced for his levels, there was nothing in Matos' profile to suggest he might struggle at High-A, but he slashed .211/.275/.344 with a 74 wRC+ and a 31.9 Soft%. Amid all the struggles, his 16.0 K% and ability to hit 11 homers and steal 11 bases in 91 games show there are still skills to work with. The hitter-friendly Arizona Fall League seemed like a great chance for Matos to end the year on a high note, but he had a .640 OPS with 20 strikeouts and two home runs in 22 games. He is only entering his age-21 season, so it's still early, but it's currently tough to see much more realistic upside than a Manuel Margot type of outfielder who plays a bunch and compiles unspectacular counting stats.

Earns POTW honors
Matos was named the National League Player of the Week on Monday.
ANALYSIS
The 22-year-old was called up by the Giants on May 12, and he posted a 1.115 OPS with 16 RBI in six games during the ensuing week. San Francisco's Opening Day center fielder Jung Hoo Lee will miss the rest of the season due to shoulder surgery, and Matos wasted little time in claiming an everyday role. The hot start obviously isn't sustainable, but Matos could be a boon the rest of the way for any fantasy managers able to pick him up off waivers.
