2024 Fantasy Outlook
Sabol went from the Pirates to the Reds to the Giants during Rule 5 Draft day in December of 2022, ultimately landing in a place where his ability to both catch and play the outfield could be put to great use. He made 46 starts behind the plate, essentially subbing in for Joey Bart and Patrick Bailey, and he also made 32 starts in left field as the San Francisco outfield depth chart fell into disarray. In the end, though, Sabol did not show enough offensively to carve out an increased role for 2024. Bailey is still around, as his newcomer at catcher Tom Murphy, and the blockbuster addition of Korean center fielder Jung Hoo Lee leaves the Giants with too many outfield mouths to feed. Sabol can mostly be ignored in standard fantasy leagues as he enters his age-26 campaign. Read Past Outlooks

Back to big club
The Giants recalled Sabol from Triple-A Sacramento on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
The move corresponds with San Francisco placing catcher Patrick Bailey on the 7-day concussion IL. Sabol has played 21 games in Triple-A this season, slashing .243/.378/.324 with three doubles, 16 walks, one home run and six RBI over 91 plate appearances with Sacramento. Sabol played in 110 games for the Giants last season and finished with a .235 average, 13 home runs and 44 RBI. He'll provide depth behind the plate while Tom Murphy takes over as the primary catcher in Bailey's absence.

Stat Review
How does Blake Sabol 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
Roster odds slimming
The signings of Matt Chapman and Jorge Soler in recent weeks likely reduce the chances of Sabol making the Giants' Opening Day roster.
ANALYSIS
Sabol needed to spend the full 2023 campaign in the majors after being selected in the Rule 5 Draft, but he can be freely sent to Triple-A Sacramento in 2024. The 26-year-old offers plenty of versatility as an option at catcher, first base and left field, but his .695 OPS last season likely won't be enough to stick in the majors. Sabol's roster chances could improve, however, if San Francisco trades from its glut of bench talent like Wilmer Flores or J.D. Davis.

Sabol's roster chances could improve, however, if San Francisco trades from its glut of bench talent like Wilmer Flores or J.D. Davis.
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Sabol was the fourth overall pick during the Rule 5 draft in December, as the Giants picked him up (via trade with the Reds) after the Pirates declined to add him to the 40-man roster. He turned 25 years old in January and finished the 2022 campaign at the Triple-A level, where he had .296/.426/.543 slash line with five home runs in just 25 games. Sabol must stay on San Francisco's big-league roster for the full 2023 season in order for the organization to keep him. Joey Bart struggled in his first full-time action behind the plate last year following the retirement of Buster Posey, and it's hardly a guarantee he takes a notable step forward in 2023. Sabol should begin the season in a reserve role, and the Giants seem likely to add a veteran catcher for some stability, as it would be quite risky to have Sabol as the sole backup given he has yet to make his MLB debut.
