2024 Fantasy Outlook
Narvaez was able to secure a deal with the Mets after a down year for the Brewers in 2022, but he went down early with a calf strain and finished 2023 with a .580 OPS in just 49 contests. The veteran backstop was supposed to help bridge the gap to top prospect Francisco Alvarez, but the youngster ended up making 108 appearances behind the plate. Narvaez unsurprisingly exercised his $7 million player option for 2024 and is poised to serve as New York's backup catcher. Read Past Outlooks
Set to back up Alvarez
Narvaez will open the season as the Mets' No. 2 catcher behind Francisco Alvarez.
ANALYSIS
This was the expected role for Narvaez after he played 49 games in 2023 during his first season with New York, slashing a weak .211/.283/.297 with only two homers and seven RBI. The 32-year-old's days as a fantasy asset are behind him, and even if Alvarez were to get hurt, Narvaez would likely split work behind the plate with Tomas Nido, who will begin the season with Triple-A Syracuse.

Stat Review
How does Omar Narvaez 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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
2020
2019
2018
2017
Narvaez bounced back offensively in 2021 with a .744 OPS, but he cratered again last season with a 71 wRC+. He had multiple stints on the injured list and played in only 84 games, and he failed to consistently make solid contact with an 18.4 percent hard-hit rate. Narvaez's defense was once again above average, but he was unable to move the needle offensively. It was poor timing for a down season amid a contract year, but he was still able to secure a one-year, $8 million pact for 2023 with the Mets. Narvaez should operate in the strong side of a platoon with Tomas Nido being the secondary option, but he may need a strong showing in spring training in order to retain that role later in the season. The Mets also has arguably the best catching prospect in baseball, Francisco Alvarez, waiting in the wings.
