2024 Fantasy Outlook
Garcia's first year with Miami in 2022 was a disaster with a .583 OPS and eight homers in 97 games, but last season was even worse with a .185/.241/.315 slash line in just 37 contests. He spent most of the season on the injured list with back and hamstring issues, and he struck out at a career-worst 33.6 percent clip when available. The veteran outfielder may have deserved some better results with a .227 xBA and .407 xSLG, but those figures are hardly indicative of a turnaround, especially given the rising swing-and-miss in his stroke. Garcia has two years and $29 million remaining on his deal which will likely garner him some opportunities to open 2024, but the Marlins may cut their losses if he's unable to show some improvement early on in the campaign. He clubbed 29 home runs for Milwaukee in 2021 but has been a pale shadow of that player the past two seasons, and a return to that form shouldn't be expected in 2024, even if he's able to bounce back.

Rough start to spring
Garcia is batting .179 (5-for-28) through 10 Grapefruit League games with one double and a 2:10 BB:K.
ANALYSIS
After an injury-plagued 2023 that saw him play only 37 games and stumble to a .185/.241/.315 slash line with a 33.6 percent strikeout rate, Garcia came into camp healthy this spring but hasn't shown any kind of noticeable improvement at the plate. The Marlins are likely hoping the 32-year-old can regain the form that saw him slug 29 homers for the Brewers in 2021 and replace Jorge Soler in their DH slot, but at this point Garcia's looking like little more than a dart throw for fantasy purposes. With two years and $24 million left on his contract though, Miami isn't likely to cut bait on him completely just yet.

Stat Review
How does Avisail Garcia 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.

Garcia joined the Marlins on a four-year, $53 million deal in November 2021, and his first year in Miami was a massive disappointment. He hit .224 with just eight home runs in 98 games during 2022 compared to a .262 average and 29 long balls in the prior campaign. A repeat performance should never have been expected given it was only the second time the veteran had cracked 20 homers in a season, but his 66 wRC+ and 28.7 percent strikeout rate were both career worsts by a significant margin. Garcia should open 2023 in a starting role given his contract and seems likely to bounce back in some form, but it may not be enough to make him more than a fringe fantasy option.
