Rest-of-Season Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Gurriel delivered a career-best 132 wRC+ in 2021, but he was unable to replicate that last season and had a .242/.288/.360 slash line. He had a career-high eight stolen bases, but he clubbed only eight home runs and failed to provide much production otherwise for the Astros. He won a Gold Glove in 2021, but his defense also took a dive last year with minus-nine OAA. It's poor timing for the 38-year-old first baseman, who is now on the open market. Gurriel may have a difficult time finding an everyday role in free agency, and it's unclear whether he'll seriously consider retirement if his options are limited. Read Past Outlooks

Cranks three-run homer
Gurriel went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and two runs scored in Saturday's victory over Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Gurriel's three-run shot in the bottom of the first gave the Marlins a 4-3 lead after Atlanta jumped out in front early. He later added a single in the eighth before coming around to score on a Jazz Chisholm grand slam, giving the first baseman his first multi-hit game since Aug. 6. Gurriel has now tallied five RBI over his last four games while also scoring four runs and walking three times over that stretch.

Stat Review
How does Yuli Gurriel 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.

Gurriel turned in one of his best seasons in the twilight of his career when most drafters simply overlooked him. He was on the periphery of the first-base rankings last winter coming off his worst season to date, but most still thought he could resume his 2017-18 levels of hitting. He did that and a bit more as he ended up leading the AL in batting average while doubling his career walk rate and becoming a productive run producer in the lower half of the Houston lineup. He remains a high-contact hitter who hits the ball to all fields with varying levels of contact quality as he is just as likely to rope a baseball into the Crawford Boxes as he is to dink one into short right field. His 2019 power numbers are clearly an aberration, but other seasons show the high ceiling Gurriel provides heading into 2022. We cannot expect much more from a guy turning 38 in the first half of the season.
