Mickey Moniak DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Colorado Rockies outfielder Mickey Moniak has been on a nice stretch at the plate lately. On Saturday, Moniak took left-hander MacKenzie Gore deep with a two-run home run in the second inning. Moniak would later triple in the ninth inning as the Rockies were making a comeback attempt. Unfortunately for them, the Rockies would fall 12-11 in this one. Moniak finished his day 2-for-3 with four RBI and he extended his hit streak to four games. Moniak has two homers and five RBI over his last two games. He might be worth a look in deep leagues or NL-only formats right now.

Colorado Rockies outfielder Mickey Moniak is not in the starting lineup on Saturday afternoon. Instead, Nick Martini will cover right field. The Rockies signed Moniak to a one-year contract worth $1.25 million earlier this week after he was released by the Angels. However, Moniak is still not ready to make his Colorado debut. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as he could eventually become the everyday option in right field over Martini. Last season, Moniak posted a .219/.266/.380 slash line with 17 doubles and 14 long balls. He generated a weak .289 xwOBA with a .221 xBA. However, he flashed solid upside on the basepaths as he placed in the 84th percentile in sprint speed. When he does return to the lineup, he could have value in deeper NL-only leagues.

After being released by the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday, outfielder Mickey Moniak has quickly found a home after agreeing to a one-year deal for $1.25 million guaranteed with the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday, according to major-league sources. The 26-year-old former first-round pick by the Philadelphia Phillies in 2016 will also receive termination pay from the Angels worth around $484,000. Moniak's deal with the Rockies will mean he's guaranteed a salary of $1.734 million in 2025. He has experience at all three outfield positions, but most importantly he'll give the Rockies a backup option in center field behind Brenton Doyle. The landing spot in hitter-friendly Coors Field is a plus, but Moniak will most likely be a part-time player and has a career slash line of just .230/.272/.402. Still, he's worth rostering in NL-only leagues with the boost in hitting environment.
