2024 Fantasy Outlook
Last season, Moniak made waves in the majors for the first time since being taken with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2016 First-Year Player Draft. Despite a strong spring training, he opened the campaign in the minors, where he shined with a .940 OPS over 33 games. That led to a mid-May call-up to the majors, and Moniak stayed with the big club for the remainder of the campaign, eventually working his way into a starting role due in part to injuries to Mike Trout and Taylor Ward. From his May 18 call-up through the end of July, Moniak recorded a standout .913 OPS with 11 homers and 35 RBI over 54 games, but he faded to a .596 OPS over the final two months of the campaign. There are some glaring holes in Moniak's offensive game that shouldn't be overlooked -- most notably, he struck out 35.0 percent of the time last season and batted just .222 against southpaws -- so he may be best-suited to work in a platoon. However, the Angels aren't exactly flush with outfield depth, thus Moniak will likely get ample opportunity to build upon his breakthrough next year. Read Past Outlooks

Exits lineup versus lefty
Moniak is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.
ANALYSIS
Moniak's stretch of seven consecutive starts will come to an end Wednesday, as the lefty-hitting outfielder will cede center field to the righty-hitting Kevin Pillar while southpaw Martin Perez takes the hill for the Pirates. Though he may continue to occasionally hit the bench against left-handed pitching, Moniak should have a fairly clear path to regular playing time versus righties while Mike Trout (knee) is on the injured list.

Stat Review
How does Mickey Moniak 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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Piquing trade interest
Moniak is drawing trade interest, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Moniak had a mini-breakout in 2023 in popping 14 homers while collecting an .802 OPS in 323 plate appearances and is also under team control for four more seasons. However, a 35 percent strikeout rate and 2.8 percent walk rate are worrisome, so perhaps the Angels would consider selling high. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2016 Draft, Moniak will turn 26 in May and is currently slated to open 2024 as the Angels' right fielder.

2017
Enough has been said about Moniak being a colossal bust that it may surprise some to note that he's still only 24. The 2016 first-overall pick has failed to live up to that billing thus far, but he made some noise in the minors last season, slashing .312/.362/.600 with eight homers, 20 RBI and five steals over 138 plate appearances between three levels and four clubs. The Phillies moved on from him after he went just 6-for-46 with 19 strikeouts during an opportunity in the majors, trading him to the Angels in a deal that netted them Brandon Marsh. Moniak got off to nice start with his new team, slugging two homers in five games immediately after the trade. He then broke his left middle finger and missed over a month, and when he returned in September the steam was gone, as he went 8-for-46 with a 1:20 BB:K the rest of the way. The Angels would love to see Moniak turn things around and erase the bust label, but it's hard to look past the career .218 OBP and 39.5% strikeout rate he's posted thus far as a big-leaguer. Los Angeles traded for Hunter Renfroe in the offseason, effectively eliminating Moniak's chance of competing for a starting or platoon role. At this point, it would probably be a win for him to emerge as a decent fourth outfielder.
