2024 Fantasy Outlook
If Fernandez had never been promoted to Double-A last year, his perceived dynasty value would probably be higher. However, the power-hitting outfielder hit .206 with a 32.9 K% in 56 Double-A games as a 20-year-old, which raises obvious concerns about his hit tool. Prior to the aggressive promotion, Fernandez slashed .319/.354/.605 with 17 home runs, a 5.2 percent walk rate and a 17.9 percent strikeout rate in 58 games while playing half his games in the hitter-friendly park at High-A Spokane. The lefty-hitting Cuban has a very high four-category ceiling, thanks to his huge power and the potential to call Coors Field home. If he shows better bat-to-ball skill in the upper levels during his age-21 season, that would reduce concerns about how the bat will play at the highest level, given his youth and power. Fernandez has a classic right-field slugger profile, as he also has a cannon of an arm. Read Past Outlooks

Optioned to Double-A
Fernandez was optioned to Double-A Hartford on Friday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Fernandez went 3-for-13 with a homer in seven Cactus League contests, but the 21-year-old was always destined to head back to the minors. He's mega-talented and has loads of fantasy upside if he can rein in the strikeouts.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Fernandez logged a .323/.378/.590 slash line with 15 home runs and a 19.4 K% over his final 251 at-bats at Single-A, keeping the dream alive of a lefty-hitting 30-plus homer right fielder who gets to call Coors Field home. He will go from one hitter-friendly environment (Fresno) to another (Spokane) for his age-20 season, where the key will be to chase fewer pitches out of the strike zone. The Cuban outfielder has significant J-2 pedigree from 2019 and made an impressive jump from the Dominican Summer League in 2021 to full-season ball, so it's possible he exceeds expectations again and steadily climbs rankings.
