2024 Fantasy Outlook
2023 was a disappointing year for Azocar, as he had a .641 OPS in 55 big-league games and a .695 OPS in 49 games at Triple-A. However, the Juan Soto trade leaves the Friars without any clear answers in the corner outfield, which leaves a wide path to playing time. Azocar doesn't offer much power but totaled 26 steals between the majors and Triple-A last season, and that speed could bring some fantasy value if he's able to hit well enough to stick in the lineup.

Claimed by Mets
The Mets claimed Azocar off waivers from the Padres on Thursday and optioned him to Triple-A Syracuse, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
Azocar has split time between the majors and minors this season, posting just a .516 OPS in 61 games at the big-league level. The 28-year-old speedster will give the Mets some outfield depth in the minors.

Stat Review
How does Jose Azocar 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
Azocar finally got his first taste of the big leagues last season and received a substantial amount of playing time, logging 216 plate appearances over 98 games. As those numbers suggest, much of his work came as a pinch hitter/runner and as a defensive replacement. While he had a few memorable moments at the plate, Azocar didn't make much of an impression with his bat, posting an 81 wRC+ and .075 ISO. The latter is no surprise -- Azocar's approach doesn't portend much power -- but it's concerning that he was able to translate his 96th percentile sprint speed to only five stolen bases in 11 attempts. There's certainly room to grow in that area, though Azocar also needs to work on his ability to take a walk to maximize his base-stealing potential. Defense and speed will be his tickets to sticking in the majors, and his most likely career path is as a reserve outfielder.
