Rest-of-Season Projections
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Some saw Kim having a good year for a loaded San Diego lineup but we are not aware of anyone who projected him to be the third-best fantasy batter on the team over the course of the full season. Kim set a professional career-best with his 38 steals and also surfaced the power and run-scoring abilities the marketplace hoped for from him in 2022. He has increased his ability to accept walks in each of his three seasons with San Diego and his batting average has improved in kind. His batting average has room for improvement, and it must come from him improving his outputs against righties as he has been a below-average producer against righties (95 wRC+ last season) while excelling against southpaws (148 wRC+ last season.) The triple position eligibility is going to further push up his draft day price for fantasy managers whereas he was one of the more incredible fantasy bargains this time last year. Read Past Outlooks

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Generating trade interest
Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports the Padres have received "strong interest" in Kim on the trade market.
ANALYSIS
The Friars have reportedly been dangling Kim in trade talks, and there's no surprise he's a popular target after posting a .749 OPS with 15 defensive runs saved between second base, shortstop and third base last year. The 28-year-old is making just $8 million in the final guaranteed year of his contract in 2024, and San Diego will leverage that affordable figure as much as possible in a potential trade return.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
After looking overmatched the previous season, Kim settled in as the Padres regular shortstop, posting a 105 wRC+ while playing excellent defense. His biggest strides came against curveballs and sliders. In his rookie season, Kim fanned at a 35% clip against breaking pitches, but last season he lowered it to 17%. Kim fanned at a 19% rate both years facing fastballs. He doesn't hit the ball hard, but Kim puts it in play with a pull approach allowing him to take advantage of the shorter distances down the left field line in Petco Park. Kim was successful on 12 of 14 stolen base attempts. He's a candidate to run more as he further acclimated to MLB pitching. It's unclear where Kim will play, as the Padres have some moving parts, including the return of Fernando Tatis, who may move off shortstop. If Kim is a regular, he's mixed-league worthy, but be ready if he doesn't play as much as last season.
