2024 Fantasy Outlook
A string of knee issues derailed Wade in 2022 and prevented him from building on his breakout showing with the Giants from 2021, but he managed to stay mostly healthy in 2023 and returned to form as a reliable leadoff presence for San Francisco. He registered a .373 on-base percentage, which ranked 13th-best among all qualified major-league hitters, and he struck out only 95 times in 519 plate appearances while drawing 76 walks. Wade doesn't have a ton of raw power -- he finished in just the 32nd percentile last year in average exit velocity -- but the 30-year-old first baseman and corner outfielder should continue to be a fairly appealing option in OBP leagues and might be worthy of late-round or waiver-wire consideration in standard formats for his potential to rack up runs scored. It's worth nothing, however, that the offseason arrival of Jung Hoo Lee could seriously curtail Wade's tablesetting opportunities. Read Past Outlooks

Diagnosed with Grade 2 strain
Wade was diagnosed with a Grade 2 left hamstring strain Tuesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
ANALYSIS
The Giants placed Wade on the injured list earlier Tuesday, but the team expects him to be sidelined for roughly a month now that the severity of his strain has been revealed. In the meantime, Wilmer Flores and Trenton Brooks will likely split time at first base, though neither player is likely to replace Wade's .333/.470/.426 slash line.

Stat Review
How does LaMonte Wade 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
Pushing for everyday role
Wade has a .333/.450/.444 slash line through 29 games this season and is working toward receiving a look in an everyday role, per Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle.
ANALYSIS
Wade has enjoyed a strong first month of the season while filling the strong side of a platoon at first base for the Giants, as he has just five plate appearances versus left-handed pitching. The success against righties is the bulk of the 30-year-old's game, but he also fared decently against lefties last season with a .709 OPS in 81 plate appearances. Wade also has yet to hit for much pop in 2024 with a .113 ISO, so there's even some room for improvement if he's able to find his power stroke.

2017
Wade Jr, as well as many of his teammates, underperformed in 2022 as much as the club overperformed in 2021. He is firmly entreched as a strong side platoon outfielder with his inability to handle lefty pitchers, and that is perfectly fine with San Francisco and their fondness for platoon situatios. What was not fine was the 93 wRC+ Wade Jr had last year and how his lack of production impacted fantasy clubs who saw 2022 as a building block rather than an outlier. The young man is still very accepting of walks but defenses position him well as he had a 74-point split between his wOBA without the shift (.347) vs when shifted (.273) There may be some relief for him with the new rules on defensive alignments, but he has a rather hard cap of 475 plate appearances with his inability to hit lefties limiting his value to NL-Only formats.
