2024 Fantasy Outlook
Mitchell is headed to a new organization for the first time in 2024 as he signed a minor-league contract with San Diego in November. The 24-year-old outfielder has shown flashes of upside with Pittsburgh slashing .339/.391/.547 in 261 Triple-A plate appearances during 2022, but struggled in 2023 with just a .261/.333/.414 across 316 plate appearances. That said his path to major league playing time is clearer in San Diego than it was in Pittsburgh if he can impress in spring training after the trades of Juan Soto and Trent Grisham opened two roles in the Padres outfield.

Loses out in roster battle
The Padres reassigned Mitchell to minor-league camp Monday.
ANALYSIS
Mitchell was attending camp as a non-roster invitee but didn't do enough in spring training to make a legitimate run at an Opening Day roster spot, as he slashed .227/.280/.455 over 11 Cactus League games. He's likely to begin the season with the Padres' Triple-A affiliate in El Paso.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2019
After being left unprotected in the 2021 Rule 5 Draft, Mitchell announced his presence in 2022 by shelling Triple-A pitching to the tune of a .339/.391/.547 line in 261 plate appearances. That earned him a chance in Pittsburgh, though he was demoted back to Triple-A after early struggles. Given a chance to Redeem himself, Mitchell posted a considerably improved .306 wOBA, 96 wRC+ and 20.1 percent strikeout rate in 144 plate appearances between July 15 and the close of the campaign - passable marks for a 23-year-old. Both his major and minor-league track record suggest that batting average and counting stats are likely to be the primary ways in which Mitchell creates fantasy value. He rarely struck out at much more than a 20 percent clip while rising through the Pirates' minor-league system, but regularly posted ISOs below .200. Looking ahead to 2023, Mitchell appeared to be a frontrunner for a corner outfield spot, but he was unable to earn a spot on the Opening Day roster during spring training and is beginning the campaign in the minors. Bryan Reynolds, Jack Suwinski and Andrew McCutchen are likely to start from left to right in the outfield for Pittsburgh.
