2024 Fantasy Outlook
It wasn't too long ago that Pache was one of the game's more exciting prospects, the sort of player who could headline a package for Matt Olson. Yet he found himself incapable of securing an Opening Day roster spot with the lowly Athletics last March, and with his minor-league options exhausted, he was traded to the Phillies for a minor-league reliever. A bench role on a good team suits Pache's current skill set just fine, and the result was the 24-year-old's best big-league campaign to date - though that's an admittedly low bar to clear. Knee and elbow injuries limited him to just 48 games, and his role as a defensive replacement limited his playing time still further to just 95 trips to the plate, but his .238/.319/.417 slash line was good for a nearly-average 99 wRC+, a fine mark for a role player. Pache earned the occasional start against left-handers, including a pair in the postseason, though the emergence of fellow glove-first right-handed outfielder Johan Rojas could limit those opportunities in 2024. While Pache may now be a legitimate big-league bench player, it would take both a move and some substantial growth at the plate to give him much fantasy appeal. Read Past Outlooks
Starting again versus lefty
Pache is starting in left field and batting eighth Monday in Game 2 of the NLDS versus Atlanta, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
It was Brandon Marsh in left field for Game 1 against right-hander Spencer Strider. Southpaw Max Fried will toe the rubber for Game 2, so Pache gets the call in left. It's the third time in four games this postseason that the Phillies have faced a lefty and Pache has started in left field in all of them, reaching base twice and driving in one run in six plate appearances.

Stat Review
How does Cristian Pache 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
Not guaranteed for playoff roster?
Pache could be in danger of being excluded from Philadelphia's roster for the NL Wild Card Series given his .091/.231/.152 slash line in September, per Matt Gelb of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
The 24-year-old still has a decent .723 OPS in 47 games for the season, but that figure is propped up by the .327/.365/.592 slash line he posted in 32 contests before going down with an elbow injury in early July. With Pache looking less and less like a right-handed-hitting platoon option in left field, the Phillies could turn to Weston Wilson for that role in the playoffs.

2021
2020
2019
2018
2017
Pache received his first extended run in the majors during 2022 and unsurprisingly provided strong defense in center field, but he was abysmal at the plate with a .166/.218/.241 slash line in 91 games. His 35 wRC+ was the worst in the majors for any player with at least 200 plate appearances. A 26.9 percent strikeout rate was solid for a rookie campaign, but a 5.8 percent walk rate and 3.4 percent barrel rate need more improvement. Pache is entering his age-24 season and is out of minor-league options, and his spot on Oakland's big-league roster is precarious after the acquisition of Esteury Ruiz, who is expected to receive the chance to start in center field after being acquired from Milwaukee in the Sean Murphy trade.
