Jonatan Clase

Clase was middling at the plate as a 21-year-old at Double-A, logging a 67.3 percent contact rate and .222 batting average to go along with 13 home runs and 62 steals in 108 games. His .331 on-base percentage and the resulting havoc he caused on the bases allowed the switch hitter to still impact the game regularly, despite being a below league average hitter (94 wRC+), and his speed will be the key to him being an impactful fantasy outfielder. Clase has 70-grade speed and likes to run, so that will always define his fantasy relevance. He came into the year with 33 home runs in 236 games above rookie ball, and it will be tough for him to hit more than 15 in a MLB season while playing half his games in Seattle. Clase has two minor-league option years remaining and was summoned from Triple-A early in 2024 after showing improved plate skills. If he is playing regularly, his speed makes him worthy of a flyer in roto leagues. Read Past Outlooks
