2024 Fantasy Outlook
After a breakout 2021 rookie campaign, Baddoo has regressed over the past two seasons. In 2021, he batted .259 with a .766 OPS and also chipped in 13 home runs and 18 stolen bases across 124 games. It looked like the young outfielder could be primed to reach the 20-20 plateau, though he only had 13 total home runs and 23 steals over the last two years combined while his batting average and OPS also dipped. Baddoo continues to struggle with consistent contact, as he struck out just under 25% of the time in 2023. While that was a step forward from 2022, he'll need to cut down on the strikeouts even more and get on base more frequently if he wants to fully take advantage of his speed. Following the down seasons, Baddoo has not surprisingly dropped down the Detroit depth chart. Heading into the 2024 campaign, he looks like a fourth outfielder at best, behind Mark Canha, Parker Meadows and Riley Greene. Baddoo will be turning 25 this year, and he'll need to produce if he wants to reestablish himself as a regular for the Tigers. Read Past Outlooks

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Out with quad strain
Baddoo will be out for the foreseeable future with a quad strain, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
While manager A.J. Hinch said the quad strain is mild, he also noted that those types of injuries are tricky, especially for speedsters like Baddoo. Detroit is pretty undermanned in the outfield, as Riley Greene and Matt Vierling are also on the shelf with injuries.

Baddoo delivered a strong rookie campaign in 2021 with a 110 wRC+ as a Rule 5 draft pick, but he was unable to reproduce those results last year. The 24-year-old had a horrid first month of the season and was demoted to the minors in early May after he hit .140 in his first 17 games of 2022. Baddoo returned to the majors over the summer, but he never found much consistency and finished with a 28.4 percent strikeout rate. He should have a chance to lock down a starting job in Detroit's outfield during spring training, but a spot on the Opening Day roster isn't guaranteed given his .558 OPS in 2022.
