Jeff McNeil News
New York Mets utility man Jeff McNeil stole his third base of the season against the Miami Marlins Thursday while going 1-for-2 at the plate with a walk and two runs scored. McNeil has been one of a number of Mets to disappoint this season, totaling a .681 OPS with seven homers, three steals, 48 runs scored, and 35 RBI in 382 at-bats on the year. He should come considerably cheaper in 2022 fantasy drafts than in previous go-rounds.
New York Mets infielder/outfielder Jeff McNeil went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and two runs scored in the Mets 3-2 win over the Phillies on Sunday evening. McNeil had not homered in his last 43 games prior to Sunday's contest. Though he had shown signs of breaking out during the course of the 2021 season, McNeil never really found any level of consistency with his bat. 2021 turned out to be a bust season for the 29-year old. Coming into the season, it was thought McNeil was a safe bet for a .310 batting average, a .380 on-base percentage, 10-to-15 HR, and 70-to-80 RBI. Instead, managers who expended top-100 draft capital on him have gotten a .252/.318/.364 slash line with just seven home runs and 34 RBI over 111 games. While McNeil holds little fantasy relevance in redraft formats at this point, fantasy managers in dynasty formats should remain patient. As reported previously, there were no signs that McNeil would regress in 2021 other than, perhaps, lower HR totals. As such, fantasy managers in dynasty formats should not be too quick to sell low on McNeil in case an underlying/ undisclosed injury has been the root of his issues in 2021.
New York Mets infielder/outfielder Jeff McNeil went 1-for-5 with a run scored in the Mets 9-4 win over the Marlins on Tuesday. McNeil also left three runners on base as his season-long struggles continued. Though McNeil has, at times, shown signs of breaking out during the course of the 2021 season, he has yet to find any consistency at the plate. Now heading into mid-September, it's safe to say McNeil has been a huge bust given his pre-season ADP of 98. Coming into 2021, it was expected that McNeil had a high floor and was a safe bet for a .310 batting average, a .380 on-base percentage, 10-to-15 HR, and 70-to-80 RBI. He has greatly underachieved based on those pre-season expectations. Over 100 games and 328 at-bats, McNeil is hitting just .247/.317/.351 with six home runs, 32 RBI, 16 doubles, and 39 runs scored. Over the last month (30 games), McNeil has been even worse, slashing .182/.226/.232 with no home runs and just seven RBI over 99 AB. Fantasy managers in redraft formats can safely drop McNeil at this point. Those fantasy managers in dynasty formats should hold onto McNeil and chalk 2021 up to a down year/aberration based on his consistent performances from 2018-2020. There were no signs that McNeil would regress to this point beyond, perhaps, lower HR totals heading into 2021. As such, fantasy managers in dynasty formats should remain patient and not be too quick to sell low in case an underlying/ undisclosed injury has been the cause of McNeil's issues in 2021.

In 2020, Jeff McNeil hit just four home runs over 183 at-bats. Extrapolated over the course of a full 162-game season, it equated to 10-12 HR. This represented a noticeable decline when compared to his 23 HR outburst in 2019. McNeil's overall exit velocity, 2.5% barrel rate, and overall hard-hit rate of 26.5% were well below his career and MLB averages (as well as his 2019 numbers), supporting this decline. Notwithstanding, McNeil remained consistent posting a .311 batting average, a .383 on-base percentage, and 14 doubles in 2020 (after hitting .318 with a .384 OBP and 38 doubles in 2019). While his batting average and OBP were supported by an elite K% and whiff rate, McNeil outperformed his .278 xBA and .325 xwOBA, though similar outperformance in 2019 didn't impact his final 2019 numbers. In 2021, McNeil will again be a stable source of elite hitting with solid RBI and run production at the top of a stacked Mets lineup that now boasts Francisco Lindor. His multi-position eligibility in the outfield, second base, and third base further adds to his fantasy value as an attractive Swiss Army knife for managers. That said, HR expectations should be tempered. McNeil will be a safe bet for a .310 batting average, a .380 OBP, 10-15 HR, 75-85 runs, 70-80 RBI, and 32-40 doubles in 2021. Such production from a consistent, multi-position eligible regular is well worth his ADP of 98 in mixed league formats.
