2024 Fantasy Outlook
The big question with Head is how much he will impact the baseball. A premium athlete who should be at least a plus defensive center fielder, Head was selected by the Padres with the 25th overall pick in 2023 and received an under-slot $2.8 million bonus. A lefty hitter who turned 19 this offseason, Head had a 15.3 K% across rookie ball and Single-A, and he shouldn't have any trouble making contact at an acceptable clip below Double-A. However, if he's simply dumping singles into the opposite field and rarely looking to pull the ball in the air, that would be a red flag, even if the overall stat line looks solid. His top fantasy-relevant tool is 70-grade speed that could translate into 30-plus steals in the majors. Read Past Outlooks

Prospect
Goes on Single-A IL
Single-A Jupiter placed Head (adductor) on its 7-day injured list May 20.
ANALYSIS
After being acquired from the Padres on May 3, Head was held out of game action for more than a week due to an adductor strain before making his Jupiter debut May 14. However, Head played just three games with the affiliate before suffering an apparent setback and landing on the shelf. The 19-year-old outfielder is without a clear timeline to return to action for Jupiter.
