2024 Fantasy Outlook
An oblique injury, suffered early in spring training, put Suzuki on the injured list to begin the 2023 season. He then endured some ups and downs in the first half, bottoming out with a .475 OPS in the month of June, before exploding for a .313/.372/.566 line and 13 home runs after the All-Star break. He finished with a 126 wRC+ for the season (100 is average). Pretty much everything was up for Suzuki across the board from his debut season in MLB after a storied career in his native Japan, with the exception being steals as his total fell to from nine to six even with more playing time and the rule changes benefitting stolen bases. While speed isn't a huge part of his game, there may still be some sleeper potential here if you believe in his second-half surge. Suzuki, now 29, projects to remain a near-everyday outfielder and middle-of-the-order presence under new Cubs manager Craig Counsell. Read Past Outlooks
Belts 14th home run
Suzuki went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and an additional run scored in Wednesday's loss to the Brewers.
ANALYSIS
Suzuki did all he could in this one, recording both of the Cubs' extra-base hits while scoring their only two runs of the contest. The 29-year-old came out of the All-Star break flat, going 2-for-17 with zero extra-base hits before Wednesday's performance. The outfielder now owns a .264 average with 14 home runs, 47 RBI, 42 runs scored and 10 stolen bases in 78 games this season.

Stat Review
How does Seiya Suzuki 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
There was a lot of hype surrounding Suzuki last winter as he transitioned to MLB following a long, successful run in Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball. It looked initially like he might exceed expectations in Year 1 of his five-year, $85 million deal with the Cubs. He hit four homers in his first nine games, but Suzuki eventually slowed and a finger injury wiped out his entire month of June. A chase rate in the 90th percentile suggests he could trim his strikeout rate down some (from 24.7%) as he gets better situated against big-league pitching. With power, speed and regular playing time projected, Suzuki looks like a classic post-hype fantasy sleeper. He figures to bat high in the order and should have the green light to run under manager David Ross, whose team ranked second in the NL in steal attempts last season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Team changes interpreter
The Cubs dismissed Suzuki's interpreter Toy Matsushita on Thursday, reports Patrick Mooney of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear what exactly prompted the change, as the team labeled the move as "an organization decision to go in a different direction." Suzuki has split his playing time between right field and designated hitter this season, and he's been productive at the plate with 13 homers, 45 RBI, 40 runs, nine steals and an .813 OPS through 72 games. It remains to be seen how the personnel decision will affect Suzuki's performance on the field, if at all.
