2024 Player Outlook

2023 Recap: It’s hard to really make anything of the confusing 2023 season for Bader. He played a total of 98 games after dealing with injuries and a team switch. Bader wasn’t productive, in most areas, in those games, slashing .232/.274/.348 with seven HR, 44 R, 40 RBI, and 20 steals. The steals are always expected with Bader as that’s his main calling card on offense and defense if we’re being honest. Finishing the year in Cincinnati didn’t help matters either. 

2024 Outlook: After a quick jaunt to Great American Ballpark, Bader is back in New York but wearing blue and orange this time. He signed a one-year deal this offseason as kind of a prove it deal and will have centerfield all to himself, as long as he’s healthy. The health, and frankly lack of contact recently, has been his downfall of late and if he can put both of those concerns to bed, we’re looking at an outfielder who can hit in the .250 range with 12 HR and 20-24 SB.
