2023 Fantasy Outlook
Wisdom continued to be a boom-or-bust fantasy option in 2022. A year after turning heads with 28 home runs, he followed it up with 25 long balls. However, Wisdom struggled to make consistent contact, as he batted just .207 and struck out 34.3 percent of the time. In 2021, he struck out more than 40 percent of the time. Going forward, it looks like fantasy managers will simply need to sacrifice batting average for power if they decide to roster Wisdom. He did at least show a slight uptick in stolen bases, as he registered a career-high eight stolen bases on 12 attempts, which was also easily a career best. That's not a huge number, but if he can get to 10 steals or more, it would give a little more depth to his game. Wisdom will turn 32 during the 2023 season, so even if he does run a bit more, he's unlikely to change too much as a player. The power is nice, but there are definitely more complete fantasy options available for the corner outfield spots. Read Past Outlooks
Provides boost Sunday
Wisdom went 1-for-2 with a walk and a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Rockies.
ANALYSIS
Wisdom helped the Cubs overcome a 3-1 deficit during a three-run sixth inning, with his 22nd home run of the season serving as the big blow. It was the 32-year-old's first long ball this month, however, as he's slipped into a bench role in Chicago, though playing time is available in the short term for however long Jeimer Candelario (back) and Nick Madrigal (hamstring) are out.

Stat Review
How does Patrick Wisdom 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
2022
2019
Wisdom fell short of accumulating even 100 major-league plate appearances from 2018-20. The 29-year-old then got a chance to show what he could do last season and what he showed was a propensity to hit home runs and strike out. There were a ton of strikeouts. Like record setting. He is the only hitter with a strikeout rate over 40% since 1887 (min. 300 PA). When he finally makes contact, he has all the traits to generate home runs. He hits the ball in the air (31.4 GB%) and hits the ball hard (92nd percentile maxEV). He pulls the ball into short outfield corners (56.8 Pull%). The formula worked for a while, but the league adjusted to his fast start by staying out of the strike zone and making him chase pitches. The strikeout rate is a major drag on his entire profile; Wisdom will be tough to roster unless he shaves at least 10 percentage points off it.
