2024 Fantasy Outlook
There have been flashes of fantasy upside over the course of his first seven major-league seasons, but Bader has yet to truly put it all together at age 29 and is coming off one of the worst years of his career. He stole 20 bases in 23 attempts between the Yankees and Reds in 2023 but posted a miserable .274 on-base percentage across 344 plate appearances. That is an incredibly low OBP for a player who tends to rank in the 85th-to-95th percentile in sprint speed. Bader plays tremendous defense in center field, but he almost seems allergic to drawing walks and struggles to make hard contact against right-handed pitching. Given that most people and pitchers are right-handed, it's difficult to project how he is ever going to break into the ranks of reliable fantasy outfielders. Find steals elsewhere. Read Past Outlooks
Sits down Tuesday
Bader isn't in the Mets' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Bader will get a day off after going 0-for-3 with a strikeout during Monday's win in the series opener. Brandon Nimmo will slide over to center field in his place, moving Jeff McNeil into left and allowing Joey Wendle to start at second base, batting eighth.

Stat Review
How does Harrison Bader 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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Linked to Giants, Padres
Bader is being pursued by both the Giants and Padres, per Jon Morosi of MLB Network.
ANALYSIS
It's no coincidence that those two clubs are also in the running for Korean center fielder Jung Hoo Lee, who was officially posted for MLB bids Monday. Bader, 29, could be seen as a fallback option. He plays excellent defense and has good speed but struggled to a .232/.274/.348 batting line over 98 games between the Yankees and Reds in 2023.

2016
Bader had a .256/.303/.370 slash line through 72 games before he suffered a foot injury in late June, and the Cardinals shipped him off to the Yankees at the trade deadline. He didn't see the field for New York until Sept. 20 and had a .528 OPS down the closing stretch of the regular season, though he came alive during the postseason with five home runs in nine games. The Yankees featured a carousel of players in center field last year, including Aaron Judge, but Bader should take on that role in 2023, which is the final year of his contract. However, he's averaged only 114 games over the past four full seasons, and his fantasy upside remains limited given his track record.
