Kyle Stowers DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Miami Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers has made the team's Opening Day roster, reports Isaac Azout. Whether he has won the starting left-field job is yet to be known, but he should at least see some playing time as part of a platoon. He hasn't exactly shown out during Spring Training, batting just .162 with a 34.7% strikeout rate. After being traded to the Marlins at the trade deadline in 2024, he slashed .186/.282/.295 with two home runs in 50 games. He did show some positive signs in 2024, like a 51.3% hard-hit rate, but he clearly has some work to do before he becomes a relevant player for fantasy.

Miami Marlins outfielder Kyle Stowers is starting in left field and is batting third in his team debut on Wednesday against the hosting Tampa Bay Rays and right-hander Taj Bradley. The Marlins acquired Stowers on Tuesday as part of a package that sent left-hander Trevor Rogers to the Baltimore Orioles. The 26-year-old was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville and should now get an extended look in the big leagues in Miami after playing for Triple-A Norfolk for most of 2024 due to Baltimore's crowded outfield picture. He hit .306 (11-for-36) with a homer, four doubles and nine RBI in 19 games at the big-league level this year but has hit just .229/.274/.369 with four homers and 20 RBI in 67 games in the majors after debuting in 2022. At the very least, Stowers deserves attention in NL-only leagues given his new big-league opportunity.

The Miami Marlins acquired outfielder Kyle Stowers from the Baltimore Orioles for pitcher Trevor Rogers. Stowers, who was joined in the trade by second baseman-outfielder Connor Norby, hit .306/.297/.500 with a homer, nine RBI, and three runs scored in 19 games with the Orioles and hit .240/.322/.555 with 18 homers, 55 RBI, and 41 runs scored in 58 games with Triple-A Norfolk. He will see extended playing time with the Marlins and should be strongly considered in NL-only waiver wires while also drawing interest in dynasty league formats.
