Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Noel has tremendous power (80-grade) but needs to improve the rest of his game to get a real shot in the majors. Given that Noel was the second-youngest qualified hitter at Triple-A last year (behind Masyn Winn), he can be forgiven for struggling in the first half (.673 OPS). Noel slashed .246/.320/.451 with 14 home runs in 69 games during the second half for Triple-A Columbus en route to hitting .220/.303/.420 with 27 home runs overall. The 22-year-old had a 116.5 mph maximum exit velocity and a 106.3 mph 90th percentile exit velocity, but he also made too much soft contact (24.7 percent), so he could benefit in 2024 from being more selective at the plate. While he can handle first base and the corner outfield spots in a pinch, Noel's best shot at consistent playing time in Cleveland could come at designated hitter. Read Past Outlooks
Absent from Game 3 lineup
Noel is not in the lineup Wednesday for Game 3 of the ALDS against the Tigers, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Noel started each of the first two games of the series but went 0-for-4 with a walk and a hit-by-pitch. In Game 3 he will yield right field to Will Brennan, who is batting seventh for the Guardians.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Noel has 80-grade raw power. The rest of the profile is pretty shaky, which is why he is still extremely risky despite reaching Triple-A as a 21-year-old. There are similarities to Franmil Reyes and Bobby Bradley, past Guardians sluggers who were cut loose in 2022. He isn't great at making contact in the zone and is even worse at laying off pitches out of the zone. Defensively, Noel is limited to playing a bad first base/left field or slotting in at designated hitter, so he needs to log solid on-base percentages or he won't play. He was young for the levels, but last year's .310 OBP across the three highest levels of the minors won't cut it.
