Rest-of-Season Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Talk about making the most of one's opportunities! Rengifo went from someone projected to filling a utility role to inheriting a starting position as the Angels roster fell apart and having one of the more surprising seasons for waiver wire fodder. He had 14 homers and 13 steals between Triple-A and the majors in 202, but previous exposure to MLB pitching gave us little reason to believe he would finish the 2022 season with 17 homers while finishing fourth on the club in homers. The impatient hitter looks for fastballs early and often and 10 of his 17 homers came off such pitches last season. He walks almost by accident which limits his on-base opportunites and thus capped his stolen base chances last season. The skills profile needs the volume to produce the results because his ability to avoid strikeouts is his one outstanding offensive skill as nearly everything else grades out below average. The normal worries of a regression in homers do not really apply here as the GB/FB rateand the HR/FB rates in 2022 are mirror images to what he did in 2021 in more limited playing time. A healthy Anthony Rendon (it can happen!) pushes Rengifo back to second base but he retains his dual-eligibility heading into the season with an additional shortstop qualification if your league has a 10-game threshold.

Stat Review
How does Luis Rengifo 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

2020
2019
Rengifo was said to be traded to the Dodgers along with Andy Pages in exchange for Joc Pederson, but Angels owner Arte Moreno nixed the deal. That was just the beginning of a tumultuous 2020 for Rengifo. He was placed on the IL in early July for undisclosed reasons and then battled hamstring tightness later in the month, costing him a spot on the Opening Day roster. His season was bookended by more hamstring trouble, and Rengifo also battled a thumb sprain in September. In 106 PA around all the injuries, Rengifo was awful and even demoted at one point due to poor performance. There are some glimmers of light including a 13.4 BB% and three steals on four attempts. Rengifo was also playing in the Dominican Winter League, so he's ostensibly healthy again. Jose Iglesias was brought in this winter to play shortstop, which leaves Rengifo to likely fill a utility role to begin 2021.
