2024 Fantasy Outlook
Semien needed a strong final four months to rebound from a slow start in his first season with the Rangers. He was much steadier in his second year and easily better overall with an .826 OPS in 2023 which was nearly 100 points higher than his 2022 mark. Semien's Statcast page was underwhelming as it always tends to be, but he's mastered the art of pulling flyballs down the line and just over the wall to the point that it's impossible to doubt that he simply has that skill. He also cut his strikeout rate in 2023 to 14.6 percent, allowing him to hit for a solid .276 average even with all the weakly- to moderately-struck flyballs mixed in. Finally, Semien continues to be the modern day Iron Man, leading the league in plate appearances for the third straight season. He's about as safe as an early-round pick gets. Read Past Outlooks

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Locked in at leadoff
According to Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News, the Rangers don't plan to entertain hitting anyone other than Semien at leadoff in 2024.
ANALYSIS
The veteran infielder served as Texas' leadoff man in all 162 games last season, and the club doesn't plan to make any changes to the formula that helped it win the World Series. Semien's 14 stolen bases last season was a bit underwhelming given the new rules favoring base stealers, but his .826 OPS, 29 homers, 100 RBI and 122 runs still made him one of the most productive players in MLB.

For the second straight season, Semien led MLB with 724 plate appearances. His first nine games with the Rangers were disastrous with a .369 OPS. However, Semien recovered to post a .756 OPS the rest of the way. His 107 wRC+ was the third highest of his career, but that does not capture his 25 steals, by far his season high. Semien's Statcast page doesn't portend power, but he's quietly a fly-ball hitter with an uncanny ability to cluster them down the line where most fences are within reach. A career .263 BABIP reflects his fly-ball nature, but a strikeout rate around 20 percent props up Semien's average enough so his power/speed combo plays in any format. It would be more comforting if Semien's success was greater supported by a higher exit velocity or hard-hit rate, but Semien's track record of getting the job done lands him among the top fantasy second basemen, buoyed by excellent durability.
