Jarred Kelenic News
Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic was one of the big bats in an offensive explosion between the Mariners and Texas Rangers on Thursday. Kelenic went 2-for-5 with two long balls, three RBI, three runs scored and two strikeouts in the 10-9 win over Texas. The 23-year-old left-handed slugger is hitting just .157/.222/.357 with seven home runs, 17 RBI, 20 runs scored and five stolen bases in 153 plate appearances over 47 games in his second MLB season with Seattle. However, he's come alive since rejoining the team this month, going 8-for-27 (.296) with three homers, five RBI and eight runs scored in seven games played. Kelenic should continue to play every day for Seattle until Julio Rodriguez (back) returns from the injured list next week.
Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic drew the start in his first game back from the minor leagues Thursday, and he delivered, going 2-for-3 with a home run, a double, a walk, two RBI, and two runs scored. Kelenic had been very hot of late at Triple-A Tacoma, and while this performance only lifts his season OPS to a dismal .515, fantasy managers in dynasty and keeper leagues should still take note. Kelenic still has the ability to post strong totals in all fantasy categories, as evidenced by his five homers and five steals in 116 major-league at-bats this season.
The Seattle Mariners are recalling outfielder Jarred Kelenic from Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday. Kelenic struggled in 40 games with the M's earlier this year before being sent back to the farm, as he went 14-for-113 (.124) with four homers, 12 RBI, 12 runs scored, five stolen bases and 47 strikeouts. The 23-year-old left-handed hitter was much better at Tacoma, slashing .296/.366/.557 with a .922 OPS, 18 homers, 65 RBI, 58 runs scored and nine stolen bases in 86 games played. He has a batting average of .167 with 18 home runs, 55 RBI and 11 stolen bases in his first 133 major-league games dating back to his rookie season in 2021. Kelenic's power/speed profile is worth taking a chance on in deeper leagues for the last few weeks of the regular season.

Jarred Kelenic was bad in 2021 and there's no sugarcoating a .181/.265/.350 triple-slash line across 377 PAs. The well-regarded 22-year-old hit a solid 14 HR for the Mariners but otherwise didn't do much. The good news is that Kelenic is almost certainly better than this. He destroyed Triple-A pitching to the tune of a .320/.392/.624 line with nine homers and six steals in just 143 PAs, so there probably isn't much more seasoning that can take place on the farm. His 28.1 K% at the big league level was alarming, but his underlying 11.8 SwStr% and 32.8% chase rate suggest that he deserved a better rate. A 9.5 BB% as a rookie also portends a productive career. Likewise, you have to figure that his .216 BABIP is due for positive regression, especially if he can bring his 15.6 LD% up. That said, Kelenic hit just 8.1% of his grounders to the opposite field last season, suggesting that the shift will always take a bite out of his BABIP. His Statcast power metrics weren't fantastic either, clocking in with an average exit velocity of 92.7 mph on airborne batted balls and a 9.9% rate of Brls/BBE. Kelenic will probably be a good player in 2022, but he has limitations that may prevent his rosiest projections from becoming reality. That makes him a bit of a wild card at an ADP of 133.99.
