Kevin Pillar Stats

New York Mets outfielder Kevin Pillar went 1-for-4 with a two-run triple in the Mets' 7-1 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday. Pillar has served as the primary centerfield with Brandon Nimmo (finger) on the 10-day injured list. With Wednesday's performance, Pillar is now hitting .341/.357/.585 with two home runs and seven RBI in May over 41 at-bats. Given regular playing time, Pillar has, arguably, been the Mets' hottest hitter this month. With Nimmo likely to go on a rehab assignment before he returns from the IL, Pillar should serve as the Mets' centerfielder for their upcoming weekend series against the Tampa Bay Rays. Upon Nimmo's return, it will be hard for the Mets to sit Pillar's bat. That said, given the Mets' depth in the outfield, everyday at-bats may be tough to come by for Pillar, despite this hot streak. While Pillar is getting regular playing time he should be active in deeper and NL-only fantasy formats. Once Nimmo returns, fantasy managers would be wise to keep him on their rosters as a handcuff in the event the Mets suffer another injury to a starting outfielder during the course of the season. Pillar has shown what he can bring to the table when given regular playing time.

New York Mets outfielder Kevin Pillar has posted a .333/.395/.515 slash line, with three doubles, two triples, and two stolen bases across 39 Grapefruit League at-bats. It has been a very solid spring for Pillar who will likely serve in a fourth outfielder/defensive replacement role for the Mets in 2021. Pillar is also coming off of a strong 2020 season in which he posted a .288/.336/.462 slash line with six home runs, and 26 RBI in 54 games for the Rockies and Red Sox. Given the depth of the Mets' outfield, Pillar, with an ADP of 524, is going largely undrafted in all but the deepest of mixed and NL-only leagues heading into the 2021 season. That said, if the Mets suffer an injury to one of their starting outfielders, Pillar would stand to get a huge boost in playing time, immediately making him a viable waiver wire add in most formats.

The New York Mets reached a one-year deal with outfielder Kevin Pillar on Monday. Pillar, much like Albert Almora, will likely serve in a fourth outfielder/defensive replacement role for the Mets in 2021. Notably, Pillar is coming off of a solid 2020 season in which he posted a .288/.336/.462 slash line with six home runs, and 26 RBI in 54 games for the Rockies and Red Sox. Notwithstanding, given the depth of the Mets' outfield, Pillar should be largely ignored in most fantasy formats heading into the 2021 season.
