Outman went 1-for-4 with a run and a stolen base against the Padres in a 5-2 victory Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Outman used his legs in the fourth inning to help produce the game's first run, notching a one-out single, subsequently swiping second base and then coming home to score on a Mookie Betts single. The theft was Outman's first of the campaign in two tries after he stole 16 bags in 19 attempts as a rookie last year. The 26-year-old is off to a slow start with a .184/.286/.327 slash line through 56 plate appearances this season, but he's been trending up of late, batting .294 with both of his homers and four RBI over his past five games.

EDGE Analysis

Half of Outman's six hits thus far have gone for extra bases, with two leaving the yard. He also leads Los Angeles with three thefts in spring play. Outman enjoyed an excellent spring last year too, which earned him a spot on the Dodgers' Opening Day roster and led to him settling in as the team's primary center fielder. He's expected to retain that role in 2024, and he'll be looking to build upon a strong rookie campaign that included a .248/.353/.437 slash line with 23 homers, 70 RBI and 16 stolen bases. Outman could show further growth by cutting down his 31.9 percent strikeout rate, though his 12.3 percent walk rate last year made the punchouts more palatable. The 26-year-old has his flaws, but his 20/20 potential makes him an intriguing outfield target in the middle rounds of fantasy drafts.

EDGE Analysis

Following an 0-for-4 performance in Game 1 of a doubleheader Tuesday, Outman was batting just .171 with no multi-hit performances through 22 games in September. He's turned things around considerably since then, tallying seven hits over his past 10 at-bats to lift his season batting average back up to .252. The rookie outfielder has added 23 homers, 69 RBI, 85 runs and 15 stolen bases in a fine rookie campaign, nailing down a near-everyday role in center field in the process.
