2024 Fantasy Outlook
Wiemer came up just short of making the Brewers' Opening Day roster but was added for the second game of the season after Luis Urias got hurt on Opening Day. The rookie operated as the team's everyday center fielder for four months and offered flashes of production, including in June when he posted an .848 OPS with six home runs. Wiemer struggled with consistency and in making contact (28.3 percent strikeout rate), though, and eventually found himself in a reserve role in August and back in the minors by September. There's 20-20 potential here if Wiemer can show some growth at the dish, but his defense is well ahead of his offense right now and Milwaukee looks to have others ahead of him on their outfield depth chart.

Fails to make Opening Day roster
The Brewers optioned Wiemer to Triple-A Nashville on Friday, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.
ANALYSIS
The Brewers are loaded with outfielders even with Sal Frelick slated to spend some time in the infield, and Wiemer ultimately wasn't able to make the team. The 25-year-old will be given regular at-bats with Nashville.

Stat Review
How does Joey Wiemer 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
Falters after hot stretch
Wiemer is 2-for-23 with four walks, a steal, an RBI and four runs in his past nine games.
ANALYSIS
The rookie outfielder had a .256/.337/.564 slash line with six doubles and six home runs through his first 24 games in June, but he struggled at the end of the month and continues to do so in July. Wiemer's batting average has hovered around the Mendoza Line for most of the campaign, but his pop and strong defense in center field likely mean he's not in danger of a demotion any time soon, especially with Garrett Mitchell unlikely to return this season while recovering from shoulder surgery.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
If it weren't for Wiemer's insane finish to the 2022 season, it would be pretty easy to conclude he has a low likelihood of making enough contact to be more than a short-side platoon outfielder. He was a hair below league average (98 wRC+) with a 30.2 K%, 65.7 Contact% and 9.1 BB% in 84 games as a 23-year-old at Double-A before getting an early-August bump to Triple-A. Three weeks after his promotion, Wiemer went on a heater, slashing .337/.438/.630 with five home runs, three steals and more walks (18) than strikeouts (17) in his final 27 games. Prior to that run, Wiemer hit .237/.309/.427 in 99 games, so either he had a lucky four weeks at the end of the season or he took a legitimate step forward as a hitter. It should be noted that he wasn't facing great pitching over that final month, as most of the good pitchers at Triple-A are already in the majors by the season's final month, and he took advantage of some long series in a couple hitter-friendly parks. Notorious for his 70-grade power, Wiemer is also a plus runner, going 31-for-34 on stolen-base attempts last season. The power/speed upside is pretty obvious, and there's solid evidence on both sides of the hit tool debate. Wiemer projects to add value with his right field defense.
