2024 Fantasy Outlook
There might not have been a prospect to improve their standing more than Matos did last season. He was awful and often injured in the low minors in 2022, but the young outfielder earned a promotion to the big leagues in mid-June after getting off to a blistering .350/.415/.561 start between Double-A Richmond and Triple-A Sacramento. Matos wasn't ever able to get going with the Giants, eventually leading to a couple stints back in the minors during the second half. The struggles weren't surprising given that he was just 21 and had very little upper-minors experience before getting called up. Matos' elite contact rates from the minors (12.2 percent strikeout rate) did carry over to the majors (13 percent) and the hope is that some over-the-fence power will come along as he matures. Ultimately, though, there are still a wide range of outcomes here. Read Past Outlooks

Stat Review
How does Luis Matos 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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Chance for promotion?
Matos could soon be promoted from Triple-A Sacramento after Mitch Haniger exited Tuesday's game against the Cardinals with an unspecified injury, per Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com.
ANALYSIS
Matos was removed from Sacramento's game Tuesday after Haniger suffered the injury and could soon make his MLB debut if the veteran requires a trip to the injured list. The 21-year-old Matos opened the campaign with Double-A Richmond and had an .841 OPS before being promoted in mid-May, and he's excelled in his first taste of the Triple-A level with a .387/.425/.632 slash line through 23 games. The young outfielder is San Francisco's top prospect, so he'll likely only be called up if there's a path to consistent playing time.

2021
2020
There are contextual factors (quad injury in May, .226 BABIP) that didn't help Matos, but there's no denying his 2022 season was among the most disappointing by a top prospect. Always young yet advanced for his levels, there was nothing in Matos' profile to suggest he might struggle at High-A, but he slashed .211/.275/.344 with a 74 wRC+ and a 31.9 Soft%. Amid all the struggles, his 16.0 K% and ability to hit 11 homers and steal 11 bases in 91 games show there are still skills to work with. The hitter-friendly Arizona Fall League seemed like a great chance for Matos to end the year on a high note, but he had a .640 OPS with 20 strikeouts and two home runs in 22 games. He is only entering his age-21 season, so it's still early, but it's currently tough to see much more realistic upside than a Manuel Margot type of outfielder who plays a bunch and compiles unspectacular counting stats.
