Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
Meckler suffered a wrist sprain in spring training that he couldn't fully shake until mid-July - there was a failed rehab assignment in June - and he never made it up to the big leagues after getting a brief cup of coffee in 2023. He only hit .232 with a 39.1 percent strikeout rate in 20 games in the majors, but Meckler is a career .328 hitter with a .420 on-base percentage and a 16 percent strikeout rate in the minors. He hadn't hit for much power prior to 2024, and his eight homers in 44 games at Triple-A last year doubled his career total. His .220 ISO was the first time he'd logged a mark over .150 since he was at High-A in 2023. The Pacific Coast League played a role in Meckler accessing notable pop for the first time, as his 26.8 percent hard-hit rate was still mediocre for a player his age (24), but if the lefty-hitting Meckler can be just a 15-homer hitter, he could potentially get on base enough to play regularly against right-handed pitching. Projection system Steamer projects Meckler for eight steals per 600 plate appearances, so the power/speed upside is faint.
Meckler has slashed an incredible .370/.465/.517 over 463 plate appearances in pro ball since the Giants plucked him with an eighth-round pick in the 2022 Draft. He began the 2023 campaign at High-A Eugene but reached the majors in August, ultimately managing just a .578 OPS with a 39.1 percent strikeout rate during his brief time with the Giants. That swing-and-miss was atypical of Meckler, who has a 16 percent strikeout rate and 14.9 percent walk rate in the minors. The hit tool will need to carry him, as Meckler has shown very little power dating back to his college days at Oregon State. His versatility and speed are assets along with his potential to hit for average, though, giving the 23-year-old some potential usefulness in a utility role.
