2024 Fantasy Outlook
Flores put together the best offensive showing of his career in 2023 in what was his age-31 season. The veteran infielder's .284 average, .355 on-base percentage and .509 slugging percentage were all full-season career highs, as were his 23 home runs. Long known as a lefty masher, Flores did his usual tormenting of southpaws in producing an .886 OPS with eight homers in 181 plate appearances against them. He handled righties nearly as well, though, with an .847 OPS and 15 long balls across 273 plate appearances. A glance at Flores' expected stats via Statcast paint a picture of a guy who had luck on his side, as only 10 other players had a bigger spread than Flores' 32-point gap between his xwOBA (.336) and actual wOBA (.368). He's an extreme flyball hitter (46.7 percent) and pull hitter (46.1 percent), which is the recipe for overcoming a weak average exit velocity (86.4 mph), but some regression here is likely.

Hits first homer of season
Flores went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 14-3 loss to the Phillies.
ANALYSIS
Flores has gone 6-for-19 (.316) with three RBI, a homer, a double, and a 3:3 BB:K over his last seven contests. It's been more of the same for Flores this year -- he began the year in a utility role, but he's earned a short-side platoon role with LaMonte Wade at first base over the first month of the campaign. The Giants have had good infield health so far, so it's unlikely Flores carves out a much larger role. He's slashing .234/.322/.325 with five extra-base hits, 12 RBI and seven runs scored across 90 plate appearances.

Stat Review
How does Wilmer Flores 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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Potential trade piece?
Giants GM Farhan Zaidi indicated Sunday the Giants may make "a move or two before the end of camp" after signing Matt Chapman, according toAlex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area, which could hint at Flores potentially being traded.
ANALYSIS
Flores clubbed 23 home runs in just 454 plate appearances for the Giants last season despite not having a defined role for much of the year, and he's entering 2024 in a similar situation. The offseason signings of Matt Chapman and Jorge Soler lock down third base and designated hitter, respectively, leaving significantly less flexibility for San Francisco's lineup construction. Flores and J.D. Davis are now both looking at bench roles, making it increasingly likely one of the two infielders is dealt.

Flores set a career high with 151 games and 602 plate appearances, but it was ill-timed as he registered his worst season since 2018. Flores' 17.1% strikeout rate was below league average, but it was his worst ever. His BABIP is generally low, but last season's .246 was a career nadir. He managed to club a career-high 19 homers, but that was compiling, not skills. Like most righthanded hitters, Flores hits southpaws better than righties, but last season he struggled with the platoon advantage, though he also fared worse than usual facing same-side pitching. Aside from less contact, Flores lofted a career-high 46% fly balls with declining exit velocity, which was the impetus for the drop in BABIP. There is a good chance Flores will play less this season, so if his skills revert to previous levels, his mediocre power and absence of speed has limited mixed league allure but can be useful in NL-only formats.
