2024 Fantasy Outlook
There was no outlook written for Michael Hermosillo in 2024. Check out the latest news below for more on his current fantasy value.
$Signed a one-year, minor-league contract with the Yankees in December of 2022.
Sent packing from big-league camp
OFNew York Yankees  
March 15, 2023
The Yankees reassigned Hermosillo to minor-league camp Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Even with Harrison Bader (oblique) on track to open the season on the injured list, Hermosillo didn't make enough of an impression while attending camp as a non-roster invitee to convince the Yankees he was worthy of bringing aboard as a depth option in center field to begin the campaign. The 28-year-old, who slashed .115/.250/.148 across 73 plate appearances with the Cubs in 2022, is expected to report to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2020
2019
2018
Hermosillo put together a .243/.330/.466 slash line with 15 homers, 43 RBI and six stolen bases over 64 games in the minors this season (62 contests at Triple-A Salt Lake), but when he got the call to the big leagues, he struggled to a .139 average with one homer, three RBI and a 41.3 K% over 18 matchups. Additionally, after sporting a 75.7 contact rate during 2017 at Triple-A, his contact rate has dipped to 68.1% in 2018 and 66% in 2019 (47.2% in the big leagues). While his strikeout rate continues to be a concern, he'll need to see consistent big-league at-bats before properly gauging his potential. Mike Trout and Justin Upton have locked down center and left field, respectively, so the 24-year-old will likely battle for time in right field heading into spring training.
The 2013 28th-round pick made his major-league debut in May and had a few stints with the Angels in 2018, but was unable to make a significant impact. None of Hermosillo's big-league stays even lasted two weeks until roster expansion in September, making it tough to get a read on his true talent. The 23-year-old had a quality season with Triple-A Salt Lake, posting a 117 wRC+ with 12 home runs and 10 stolen bases in 323 PA. One cause for concern is Hermosillo's strikeout rate, which rose from 21.5% in 2017 (combined between Double-A and Triple-A) to 26.9% last season, but the sporadic at-bats could have played a part. Mike Trout and Justin Upton have starting spots locked down, but Hermosillo could eventually push Kole Calhoun (0.0 fWAR last season) for the right-field job, and at least appears poised to serve as a fourth outfielder for the Angels.
Hermosillo very quietly hit nine home runs with 35 steals (on 48 attempts) between stops at High-A, Double-A and Triple-A as an age-appropriate 22-year-old, and is on the cusp of making his big-league debut. He appears to be a good candidate to serve as a fourth outfielder, with a chance for more. Hermosillo tweaked his mechanics slightly last season, allowing him to tap into more pull-side power. This was evident at Triple-A, where he posted a career-high .200 ISO. An above-average runner and good athlete, he has always been able to add value with his legs, and he has enough arm to handle an outfield corner. His walk rate plummeted from 11.8 percent to 5.4 percent after the promotion to Triple-A, but if he heads back there at the start of 2018, he will likely improve in that regard, which is important, as he may never hit better than .250 or .260. He could spend the majority of this season on the Angels' bench, and may even get time as a regular if they deal with injuries.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be back in majors soon
OFLos Angeles Angels  
August 9, 2019
Hermosillo, who went 2-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI in Triple-A Salt Lake's loss to Omaha on Thursday, could be recalled by the Angels before rosters expand in September.
ANALYSIS
Thursday's contest was Hermosillo's second consecutive multi-homer game. Even with the recent surge, he's still been a little below league average overall with Salt Lake this season (96 wRC+), with his biggest issue being a 29.6 percent strikeout rate over 213 plate appearances. He's done most of his damage against left-handed pitching (1.099 OPS). The Angels currently rank 14th in the AL in scoring in August with a mere 15 runs and could give Hermosillo another look the next time they face a string of southpaws.
