2024 Fantasy Outlook
Meadows is a prime late-round outfielder to target in redraft leagues and a potentially ascending asset in dynasty leagues. Austin's younger brother had an impressive run in big-league camp during spring training but he struggled out of the gate at Triple-A, slashing .237/.321/.391 in his first 53 games. However, he got into a groove from early-June on, hitting .273 with an .897 OPS, 13 home runs and 12 steals on 13 attempts over his final 59 games for Toledo before getting a late-August promotion to the majors. His 37-game run in the big leagues was impressive on several fronts. First, he provided plus center-field defense with 81st percentile arm strength and 90th percentile sprint speed. He also stole eight bases on nine attempts. Additionally, his 77.9 percent contact rate and 23 percent chase rate are strong marks for a 23-year-old rookie, as were his 35.2 percent groundball rate and 5.4 percent infield-flyball rate. Comerica Park was the 25th best park for lefty power last year, so it's possible his power will be capped in the 15-20 HR range early on, but the 6-foot-5 Meadows may just be scratching the surface as a slugger. He doesn't have pronounced splits and has a chance to be Detroit's leadoff hitter for all of 2024. Read Past Outlooks
Sitting against righty
Meadows is not in the Tigers' starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals.
ANALYSIS
Meadows will get a rest day Saturday after starting in each of the Tigers' last seven games. He has struggled over that span, going 2-for-24 with three runs and a solo home run while striking out 12 times. The switch-hitting Wenceel Perez will start at center field Saturday and bat third against Royals right-hander Brady Singer.

How does Parker Meadows 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.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Given that he is on the 40-man roster and entering his age-23 season, we should focus on what Meadows did as a high-pedigree, age-appropriate hitter in 489 plate appearances at Double-A. He had by far the best strikeout (18.4%) and walk (10.6%) rates of his career while playing quality center field defense and flirted with a 20/20 season (16-HR/17-SB). Prior to 2022, it seemed like Meadows' hit tool was going to be too mediocre for him to make it as a big-league regular (hits left-handed), but last season keeps hope alive that he can get there. He could debut later in the summer if it looks like he doesn't have much to gain by staying at Triple-A, but Meadows probably won't be ready from a skill standpoint to help out in deeper leagues until 2024.
