2024 Fantasy Outlook
Meyers was the Opening Day center fielder for the Astros last year and totaled 341 plate appearances during the regular season, chipping in 10 home runs and five stolen bases. He was dropped from the roster for the ALCS as the team welcomed veteran Michael Brantley back from injury, but Meyers is expected to get another chance as the primary center fielder for Houston to begin 2024. While he is not a high-OBP player, Meyers did well to trim his strikeout rate down to a more acceptable level last season (25.8 K%). His defense will buy his bat more time, though the clock is ticking for the 27-year-old. Meyers ranked in the 92nd percentile in terms of sprint speed last season, per Statcast, so there may be some hidden upside in the stolen base department. That said, if the bat doesn't improve, Meyers could shift into a reserve role for a team with World Series aspirations. Read Past Outlooks

Not starting Sunday
Meyers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
Meyers went 3-for-8 with a double, a walk, three RBI and a run while starting the first two games versus Texas, but he'll take a seat for Sunday's series finale. Chas McCormick (hamstring) will handle center field after missing a couple games while Yordan Alvarez mans left field.

Stat Review
How does Jake Meyers 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
Could be dealt
Meyers has been involved in trade talks this offseason, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Meyers was the Astros' primary center fielder in 2023, as he appeared in 105 games at the position. He maintained only an 88 wRC+ across 341 plate appearances, though he'll likely draw interest around the league due to his strong defensive value. In addition, he has four years of team control remaining.

In addition, he has four years of team control remaining.
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Meyers was a late entrant into the Astros center field sweepstakes as he was sidelined until late June following surgery on his left shoulder. He never could get things going and was sent to Triple-A Sugar Land in late August after posting a .557 OPS in 149 plate appearances over 46 games. Meyers was recalled for the final week where he was 5-for-11 with no walks and no extra base hits. Meyers line drive and groundball tendencies support an above average BABIP, but his power is limited and he his strikeout rate in his two seasons in the majors is north of 30%. Even so, Meyers should be in contention for a roster spot, if not a starting role. However, he needs to exhibit more contact before he's a fantasy asset, especially in mixed leagues.
