2024 Fantasy Outlook
Ibanez had some good moments in 2023 for a Detroit team that needed a jolt on offense. The 30-year-old saw his most sustained run at the MLB level, batting .264 with a .745 OPS and 11 home runs across 114 games. By comparison, he came into the year with only 116 games under his belt across two seasons with Texas, and he had just eight career home runs. Ibanez's versatility helped him stay on the field, as he appeared at first, second and third base for the Tigers, as well as the corner outfield spots. Ibanez didn't walk a ton but he only struck out 18 percent of the time to go along with a solid 35% hard-hit rate. Heading into 2024, there are signs of optimism regarding the veteran's offensive game, and he figures to see a similar utility man role, which should allow him to get plenty of at-bats. If Ibanez can build on the strides he took last year, he could be primed for a solid 2024. He may not be on the radar in shallower leagues, though he could be worth keeping an eye on in deeper formats. Read Past Outlooks
