2024 Fantasy Outlook
McCormick set a new personal high with 457 plate appearances. He could have topped 500, but McCormick was sidelined for about a month early on with a back strain. His underlying metrics didn't change from 2022, but a deeper look reveals McCormick's fly ball average exit velocity increased 1.5 mph, manifesting more power, along with a higher BABIP. Not only did McCormick exhibit more power, but he also took advantage of the new rules with 19 steals in 25 attempts. In his first 727 plate appearances, McCormick swiped only eight bags in 13 tries. After being a bit below average with the glove the prior season, McCormick rebounded with an above average defensive campaign. The only yellow flag in McCormick's numbers is he has outperformed his expected batting average throughout his career. This could be due to Minute Maid Park, it could be something he does that isn't captured, but it can also be good fortune, so factor in some batting average regression. Even so, McCormick was one pilfer from a 20/20 campaign, and he has a great chance of joining the club this year. Read Past Outlooks
On Houston's wild-card roster
The Astros activated McCormick (hand) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
McCormick has been sidelined since mid-September with a small fracture in his right hand, but he's progressed enough to be included on the team's wild-card roster. While an option to get some reps versus lefties, McCormick is not in the Game 1 lineup against southpaw Tarik Skubal.

Stat Review
How does Chas McCormick 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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
McCormick began 2022 as the strong side of a platoon in center field and had a .676 OPS through the first three months of the campaign, but he came alive during the second half of the season with a .271/.356/.416 slash line, and he carried that success into the first half of the playoffs while working as the Astros' primary center fielder. He finished the season with a 114 wRC+ improved his strikeout and walk rates to 26.0 percent and 11.3 percent respectively, though the strikeout rate could use another improvement. Kyle Tucker is cemented in right field while Yordan Alvarez should split time between left field and designated hitter, so there's plenty of at-bats up for grabs in Houston's outfield. The strong second half and playoff performance should give McCormick a leg up for a starting job to enter spring training. He could be a fantasy asset if able to build on that performance, though he shouldn't be counted on as more than a sleeper or depth option.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Time might be up in Houston
According to Chandler Rome of The Athletic, the Astros could elect to move on from McCormick this offseason after he posted a .577 OPS over 94 games during the regular season.
ANALYSIS
The 29-year-old appeared to establish himself as a key lineup piece in 2023 as he posted an .842 OPS with 22 homers and 19 steals, but he never got things going offensively this year. McCormick made $2.85 million in 2024 and is entering his second year of arbitration eligibility, but his hold on a roster spot is tenuous, at best.
