2024 Fantasy Outlook
Reds manager David Bell said before the 2023 season that the goal was for Stephenson to catch roughly 65 games. Stephenson ended up making 92 appearances at catcher (78 starts) to go along with 43 appearances at designated hitter (40 starts) and eight at first base (four starts). While new arrivals to Cincinnati cemented themselves at the major-league level, Stephenson's play raised more questions than it answered in regards to his long-term future with the organization. He hit a mere five home runs in 271 plate appearances away from Great American Ball Park. By FanGraphs' WAR formula, Stephenson was below replacement level in his 142 games. He's suffered at least three concussions in his playing career and one more could force a move out from behind the plate, if his poor defense doesn't necessitate a move sooner. Now entering his arbitration years, Stephenson's starts at DH could take a big hit as the Reds find at-bats for other talented young players. Read Past Outlooks

Sitting out nightcap
Stephenson is not in the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader in Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Stephenson went 1-for-3 with two walks and two runs while catching all nine innings of the Reds' 9-4 win in the first game of the day, so his absence from the lineup from the nightcap is expected. Austin Wynns will start behind the plate for the Reds in Game 2.

Stat Review
How does Tyler Stephenson 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.

2016
Stephenson was a bright spot for the Reds when on the field in 2023, but he was limited to just 50 games around a series of injuries. A broken clavicle put him on the shelf for good in late July. The concussion he suffered early on was the third of his playing career by his own admission, creating some talk among Reds fans that Stephenson may eventually need to move off the catcher position. By all accounts Stephenson is intent on catching until he isn't allowed to anymore, and if a move is necessary in time, Stephenson's bat should play well enough at first base. With better health, Stephenson could emerge as a top-10 hitter at the catcher position while playing his home games at hitter-friendly Great American Ball Park.

Regression proof?
Stephenson has a .415 batting average on balls in play this season -- the fourth highest average in MLB.
ANALYSIS
Stephenson's sky-high BABIP is unsustainable, but it's partially being offset by strong contact from the 26-year-old. His 46.9 hard-hit percentage is much improved from his career 38.8 percent clip. Stephenson's metrics could benefit from a larger sample size, but his career .295 batting average across parts of four campaigns lends credibility.
