Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Mountcastle was batting .227/.264/.431 when he was put on the IL in early June with vertigo. He had been in a bad slump in the weeks leading up to illness but it's unclear if they were related. After returning a month later, Mountcastle went on a roll, posting a .326/.407/.492 line the rest of the way. He missed some time in September with a shoulder injury but was able to return for the playoffs. Taken as a whole, it appears Mountcastle improved across the board compared to the previous season, but his batted ball metrics, and expected average and slug were nearly identical both seasons. To his credit, Mountcastle fanned at the lowest rate since his rookie year, which was the pandemic season. Mountcastle undershot his expected homers for the second straight season, which could be due to the renovations in Camden Yards, or a hint there is latent pop. Mountcastle's cost of acquisition should be reasonable, though there are durability concerns since he's never played more than 145 games. Even so, there is a draftable floor, with a chance 2021 is not Mountcastle's apex season. Read Past Outlooks

Racks up three hits
Mountcastle went 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Marlins.
ANALYSIS
Mountcastle plated the winning run in the 10th inning, as his line drive knocked in initial runner Jordan Westburg. Mountcastle was then thrown out trying to take second base when Cedric Mullins was also thrown out at home on the same play. Over his last 10 games, Mountcastle is 12-for-38 (.316) with just two extra-base hits and two RBI. The first baseman is slashing .271/.310/.441 on the year, adding 12 home runs, 44 RBI, 45 runs scored, 23 doubles and three stolen bases through 93 contests.

How does Ryan Mountcastle 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.

Mountcastle's numbers don't express it, but he sported better skills than the previous season, but was shortchanged between six and nine homers, depending on which xHR mark is trusted. Looking at his spray chart, the discrepancy is more than the new Camden Yards dimensions. Mountcastle increased his fly ball exit velocity 1-mph, adding around four feet to his average fly ball distance. Yet, his HR/FB slipped from 20.4% to a snake bit 13.3%. Mountcastle chased less while being more aggressive in the zone, resulting in shaving a couple of points of his strikeout rate. The narrative will be moving the left field fences back in Camden Yards cost him power, but he was also unlucky in the home run department. This presents a buying opportunity as many will over adjust Mountcastle's new power baseline. He's still in the upswing of his career, hitting in the meat of an improving lineup.

Chance to be moved
The Orioles are willing to trade Mountcastle ahead of Tuesday's deadline, reports Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Baltimore obviously isn't looking to simply offload its starting first baseman while tied for the best record in the American League, but including an established MLB bat in a trade could make sense if it's able to improve the roster elsewhere, especially given the club's infield depth. Mountcastle is on pace for the third 20-homer campaign of his career with 12 long balls through 92 games this season.
