Luke Voit News
New York Mets first baseman Luke Voit has opted out of his minor-league deal with the club. Voit signed a minor-league deal with the Mets after being released by the Brewers in early June and has absolutely raked at Triple-A Syracuse. The 2020 MLB home run leader smacked 14 homers along with a 1.058 OPS across just 37 games at the minors' highest level with the Mets, figures that he hopes will earn him a big-league deal with a contender down the stretch as he has now hit the free-agent market once again. Voit hit 22 homers with a .710 OPS and a 102 wRC+ between the Nationals and Padres last season but has still been unable to find a full-time role on a big league club in the 2023 season.
The New York Mets signed free-agent first baseman Luke Voit to a minor-league deal on Monday. He will join Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday. Voit has fallen far since leading the majors with 22 home runs in the COVID-shortened 2020 season with the New York Yankees. He hit just 11 homers the following season and had 22 total long balls in 2022 with the San Diego Padres and Washington Nationals. With Pete Alonso (wrist) potentially missing the next three to four weeks with a left-wrist injury, Voit will give the Mets some more first base depth behind Mark Vientos and Mark Canha. Voit hit just .221 (15-for-68) with three doubles, no homers, four RBI and 27 strikeouts in 22 games for the Milwaukee Brewers this year before he was ultimately released.
Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Luke Voit has been released by the organization on Friday. He was designated for assignment earlier in the week, but will now head to free agency. The 32-year-old batted just .221/.284/.265 with zero homers and four RBI in 17 games before landing on the injured list. He has put together multiple 20-plus home run seasons, so he should be able to find another organization. Fantasy managers can use a wait-and -see approach here as his fantasy value will depend on where he lands.

New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit utilized a shortened season to make a lengthy statement of his offensive prowess. The 2020 season reinvigorated those that were let down by a 2019 performance that didn't resemble the success he had the year prior. Voit's 22 homers not only led the league, but they were the most of his career. It is true that his Max Exit Velo (111.7 mph), Barrel (13.1%), and Hard Hit (40%) rates were inferior to 2019, but it was the increase in Launch Angle (15.2 degrees) that made difference. Voit also made other improvements at the plate with career-bests in Swinging Strike (13.3%) and Z-Contact (83%) rates. 2021 looks like an opportunity for Voit to reaffirm his place as a premium power bat in the league, assuming he maintains a similar launch angle. To get a power-hitting first baseman that possesses a place in the top third of a dynamic Yankees' lineup, you'll have to call his name near pick 60. Voit will be worth it.
