Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
A secondary piece in the Diamondbacks' return for Paul Goldschmidt, Young was up-and-down with Arizona in 2020, coming to the plate 34 times across 12 games before a broken hamate bone ended his season. It's too small of a sample to have any major takeaways, but it was good to see Young was taking some walks (14.7 BB%), something he will need to do at least a little bit of as the strikeout rate may hover around 25-30% against top-level pitching. Young has power, but it is not truly a plus tool, and with marginal speed, his ceiling looks to be capped as a utility player. He played second base (four games), third base (three games) and left field (once) in his debut.
Part of the haul from the Cardinals in the Paul Goldschmidt trade, Young is knocking on the door in the desert with a chance to break camp with the Diamondbacks. The club added Young to the 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 draft -- a good sign Arizona has plans for him. Young was advanced to Triple-A Reno halfway through the season where he slashed an impressive .280/.373/.611, albeit in the high offense landscape of the Pacific Coast League. Still, Young's ability to play second, third and shortstop should earn him a long look in the Cactus League. The righty-swinging infielder lacks plate patience but makes good contact. He has limited speed, so he'll need to tap into his power to be a fantasy asset. Monitor Young in the spring. If he impresses early, he's an intriguing end-game target in NL-only, adding flexibility to a fantasy roster, especially those with five game eligibility requirements.
