2024 Fantasy Outlook
There were a lot of mishaps and moving parts last year in Anaheim, through which Rengifo often served as a source of a calm with his ability to play just about anywhere defensively. Not only did he provide needed versatility, he also registered a career-high .783 OPS (111 OPS+) across 445 plate appearances and ranked third among all Angels hitters in WAR, behind only Shohei Ohtani and Brandon Drury. Rengifo doesn't have standout power or standout speed, so his mixed-league fantasy value is somewhat capped, but he should play almost every day and get regular top-of-the-lineup opportunities as the organization enters a new era following Ohtani's departure in free agency. At the very least, Rengifo projects to be a reliable source of runs scored in his age-27 season. Read Past Outlooks
Missing from Opening Day lineup
Rengifo isn't included in the lineup for Thursday's season opener in Baltimore.
ANALYSIS
With a .783 OPS to go with 16 home runs and six stolen bases in 445 plate appearances last season, Rengifo was one of the few bright spots for an 89-loss Angels squad. Despite that success, Rengifo doesn't look as though he'll handle an everyday role to begin the 2024 campaign, as Anthony Rendon and Brandon Drury will draw starts Thursday at third and second base, respectively, while Miguel Sano steps in at designated hitter against Baltimore right-hander Corbin Burnes. The switch-hitting Rengifo should still be a regular in the lineup versus lefties, but he may need to wait for an injury or a Sano slump to open up steady playing time versus righties.

Stat Review
How does Luis Rengifo 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
Teams inquiring
Rengifo, who underwent surgery to repair his biceps tendon in September, has received trade interest from other teams, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The consistency hasn't been there, but Rengifo has slashed a solid .264/.315/.436 with 33 home runs over the last two seasons for the Angels. He's also a switch hitter who made starts at six different positions in 2023, so he's a fit for any roster. Rengifo is under team control through 2025.

2019
Talk about making the most of one's opportunities! Rengifo went from someone projected to filling a utility role to inheriting a starting position as the Angels roster fell apart and having one of the more surprising seasons for waiver wire fodder. He had 14 homers and 13 steals between Triple-A and the majors in 202, but previous exposure to MLB pitching gave us little reason to believe he would finish the 2022 season with 17 homers while finishing fourth on the club in homers. The impatient hitter looks for fastballs early and often and 10 of his 17 homers came off such pitches last season. He walks almost by accident which limits his on-base opportunites and thus capped his stolen base chances last season. The skills profile needs the volume to produce the results because his ability to avoid strikeouts is his one outstanding offensive skill as nearly everything else grades out below average. The normal worries of a regression in homers do not really apply here as the GB/FB rateand the HR/FB rates in 2022 are mirror images to what he did in 2021 in more limited playing time. A healthy Anthony Rendon (it can happen!) pushes Rengifo back to second base but he retains his dual-eligibility heading into the season with an additional shortstop qualification if your league has a 10-game threshold.
