Ty France News
Seattle Mariners first baseman Ty France met with the media on Wednesday and explained how he added 3.5 mph of bat speed to his swing. He mentioned it was 'crazy' to see how bad his swing was, so he decided to clean up his mechanics, apparently successfully. The 29-year-old indeed took a step back at the plate in 2023 when he hit .250 with just 12 home runs and a .703 OPS across a career-high 665 plate appearances. That production was worth a 104 wRC+ that grades out just 4% above the league average. However, he posted a minimum wRC+ of 125 from 2020-2022, but mostly due to high batting averages and low strikeout rates. His .147 career isolated power leaves much to be desired at the first base position, putting a significant damper on France's fantasy value.
Seattle Mariners first baseman Ty France (elbow) is back at first base and is hitting sixth in the batting order on Monday against right-hander Tejay Antone and the Cincinnati Reds. France was hit by a pitch on the right elbow on Saturday and was held out of Sunday's action as a result. The 29-year-old will be back in there on Monday, though, to start a series against the Reds in Cincinnati. France picked things up with the bat in the month of August, but he's still hitting a mediocre .254/.341/.375 on the season with only 10 home runs, 30 doubles, 51 RBI and 68 runs scored in 560 plate appearances over 132 games played. He has only four hits and five strikeouts in his last 18 at-bats over seven games since Aug. 26.
Seattle Mariners first baseman Ty France (elbow) is not in the team's starting lineup on Sunday as they take on the New York Mets in the series finale. Mike Ford will get the start at first base and is hitting seventh in the order against Mets right-hander Tylor Megill. It shouldn't be a surprise that France is resting on Sunday after he was removed from Saturday's game early after he was hit by a pitch on his right elbow. For now, consider the 29-year-old to be day-to-day and check back on Monday to see if he's back in there for the start of a series against the Reds in Cincinnati. After making his first All-Star team in 2022, France has been mediocre this year by hitting .254 (125-for-493) with 10 home runs, 51 RBI and 68 runs scored in 132 games and 560 trips to the plate.

Seattle Mariners first baseman Ty France is a quality overall bat in the real world but his fantasy value doesn't stack up. The 29-year-old took a step back at the plate in 2023 when he hit .250 with 12 home runs, 58 RBI, and a .703 OPS while handling everyday first-base duties with 665 trips to the plate. A career .270 hitter with a .761 OPS, France's .147 isolated power over the last three seasons ranks 30th of 36 first basemen who made at least 500 trips to the plate in that time. Despite limiting strikeouts, he doesn't draw many walks with a career 6.3% BB% and he has one stolen base in 562 MLB contests. France projects for 15 home runs by ATC in 2024, a figure that fantasy managers absolutely need to fade at the first-base position.
