Marcell Ozuna News
Atlanta Braves designated hitter Marcell Ozuna halted a mini slump with two more home runs in Wednesday's 5-0 win over the visiting Boston Red Sox, adding a walk in the shutout victory. Entering the day just 4-for-28 with one homer over his last eight outings, Ozuna got right back to his dominant ways first with a three-run jack in the first inning and later with a solo shot in the third frame. Over 144 trips to the dish (34 games), the 33-year-old star slugger is slashing a phenomenal .315/.396/.646 with 12 round-trippers, six doubles, an MLB-leading 38 RBI, and 23 runs scored and should continue piling up counting stats as the everyday No. 5 hitter in Atlanta's loaded lineup. A three-game weekend series with the division-rival New York Mets commences on Friday, which fantasy managers should be looking forward to. In 13 games against the Mets since 2023, Ozuna is batting a torrid .396 with six long balls, seven doubles, and 18 RBI.
Atlanta Braves designated hitter Marcell Ozuna had a nice game at the plate in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the White Sox. The 33-year-old went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs and a strikeout. The power hitter has only managed a .227 batting average in his first 22 plate appearances but he also has three HR. It is still early and Ozuna has plenty of time to bring his average up, but it is encouraging to see him hitting for power out of the gate.
Atlanta Braves designated hitter Marcell Ozuna hit his second home run of the spring on Monday in a 4-0 Grapefruit League win over the Twins. Ozuna had started off the spring hot but his bat had gone cold as of late, going 2-for-17 over his last six games. The 33-year-old is still hitting .306 in the spring, going 15-for-49 with two doubles, two home runs, four RBI (three of which came on Monday's HR), and four runs scored. He's got just two walks compared to 16 strikeouts which is a bit concerning, but as long as he keeps hitting home runs that can be tolerated. The Braves have their Grapefruit finale on Tuesday before opening the season Thursday against the Phillies in Philadelphia.

Atlanta Braves designated hitter Marcell Ozuna got off to a horrendous start in 2023, batting an almost unthinkable .085 (5-for-67) with a wRC+ of just 10 in the first month. Despite that, the veteran still managed to end the season with a .274 BA and a 139 wRC+, along with 40 HR, 100 RBI, 84 R, and a .381 WOBA. Thanks to an elite Barrel% of 16.6% (98th percentile), the 40 HR were a career-high. But can he keep it up? A career Barrel% of 10.5% suggests the HR should come again in 2024, but the 2x All-Star is entering his age-33 season, so a repeat of last season isn't likely. The good news is that almost every stat from 2023 fell near in-line with career numbers, including K%, Contact%, SwStr%, O-Swing%, BABIP, and average EV, so there's no pattern of diminishing abilities yet. ATC projections forecast a .255-30-83-72-1 line with a .346 WOBA and a 116 wRC+. RotoBaller ranks him at 150 overall, just ahead of his NFBC ADP of 155. 30-HR potential starts to dry up around his ADP, but if you miss or the age-related dropoff scares you, Christopher Morel has 30-HR upside 50 picks later and will be heading into his age-25 season.
