Fantasy Baseball Player Notes

Nolan Arenado experienced a decline in his offensive production during the 2024 season, hitting 16 home runs, driving in 71 runs, and scoring 70 times over 152 games. His .272/.325/.394 slash line marked a downturn from his career averages, with his slugging percentage notably dropping below .400 for the first time since his rookie year. Advanced metrics further highlighted this regression; his average exit velocity decreased to 86.3 mph, and his barrel rate plummeted to 3.2%, both career lows. Projections suggest a modest rebound, with anticipated improvements in home runs and RBIs. However, at 34 years old, Arenado's age and recent performance trends may temper expectations, making him a more cautious consideration for fantasy rosters.
