2024 Outfielder Rankings

An All-Star break tradition, here are my mostly-for-fun 2024 player rankings. I’ve done my best to list players where they’ll be 20-game eligible next year, and the free agents-to-be are listed without teams. Players with contract options for next year have an asterisk included with their team names.

• There isn’t a whole lot out there, so Cody Bellinger might well wind up getting the biggest contract among free agent outfielders this winter. Harrison Bader could also do quite nicely, especially if he can stay healthy the rest of the way. Teoscar Hernandez and Jorge Soler are ranked a bit higher here than they might otherwise be in anticipation of potentially landing in better spots for offense.
• Dylan Crews checks in at No. 83 after being drafted second overall by the Nationals on Sunday. Maybe that’s a little ambitious, but he really shouldn’t need much time in the minors. I decided against putting Wyatt Langford on the list. I don’t think he’ll be ready quite as quickly as Crews anyway, and he has more standing in his way in Texas than Crews does in D.C. Maybe I’d have included him if not for Evan Carter’s presence.
• Things should get crowded in the Brewers outfield next year. Christian Yelich is sticking around, and Garrett Mitchell will be back from shoulder surgery. Joey Wiemer has an excellent glove and he is going to keep improving offensively. Sal Frelick might be ready, though injuries wrecked his first half. Then there’s the most talented of all the youngsters, 19-year-old Jackson Chourio . He probably won’t be a candidate for the Opening Day roster, but there’s a good chance he’ll bang down the door at some point. None of the non-Yelich outfielders are as high as I might otherwise have them if not for the competition.
