2024 Fantasy Outlook
It was Reese McGuire starting the first two games of the season at catcher for the Red Sox, but Wong quickly wrestled the job away from him and wound up easily pacing the club with 105 starts behind the plate. Wong had an above-average barrel rate in the 56th percentile and a max exit velocity in the 88th percentile, so he's capable of making hard contact. The 27-year-old is also a terrific athlete for a catcher, moonlighting some at second base while also stealing eight bases to go with a sprint speed in the 76th percentile. Wong's plate discipline (33.3 percent strikeout rate, 5.5 percent walk rate) is dreadful, though, and it's been that way dating back to the minors. Double digits in home runs and stolen bases are possible if he gets regular playing time in 2024, but Wong's xBA of .208, not his actual .235 average, is probably closer to what we should expect.

Stat Review
How does Connor Wong compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Locks down starting job
Wong was on the bench for the first two games of the season but has started behind the plate in 19 of Boston's past 29 contests. He's gone 9-for-12 with three home runs, a double and a stolen base in his past three games.
ANALYSIS
Reese McGuire was the Red Sox's Opening Day catcher, but it didn't take long for Wong to settle in as the club's primary backstop. Wong has a .290/.353/.516 slash line with three home runs, 10 RBI and a stolen base in 69 plate appearances, and he's also already accumulated seven defensive runs saved. The 26-year-old should continue to see the bulk of the playing time behind the plate, though McGuire has also hit well with a .761 OPS.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
Wong received some semi-regular playing time down the stretch for the Red Sox and had a .175/.283/.325 slash line in 22 games during the final month of the season. He split playing time with Reese McGuire, who had significantly more offensive success with an .875 OPS during that same stretch. Wong's major-league numbers don't mean much given he has only 70 plate appearances to his name, and he continues to hit well at the Triple-A level with an .832 OPS and 15 home runs in 2022. The departure of Christian Vazquez leaves Boston without a clear No. 1 option behind the plate, but the team is looking to upgrade the position during the offseason. Wong should have a chance to secure a spot on the big-league roster for 2023, though he's unlikely to receive consistent starting opportunities outside of an injury.
