2024 Fantasy Outlook
After spending the first four years of his career with the Rockies, Hampson was non-tendered. A month later, he signed a minor league contract with the Marlins. Hampson opened the season with Triple-A Jacksonville, but it wasn't long before he made his Miami debut. Hampson was batting just .240/.321/.336 when he was sent back to Triple-A. Hampson was recalled a week later. He played sparingly and shuttled between the majors and minors over the second half. After the All-Star break, Hampson put up a .326/.392/.449 line, but the Marlins opted to non-tender him and this time Hampson signed a major league deal with the Royals. While there is not a clear open position for Hampson, he has appeared at every spot but catcher and first base in his career, so Hampson is earmarked for a reserve role, with the chance to be an injury fill-in. This profile plays well in AL-only formats, especially since Hampson can chip in with some steals. Read Past Outlooks
Seen as top utility option
Hampson is projected to be the Royals' main utility player this season, Anne Rogers of the Royals' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Hampson can cover a number of positions -- he's played everywhere but first base and catcher in his major-league career. Rogers notes it's likely Hampson won't have a single position, but he could still come close to everyday playing time by providing cover around the diamond. He hit a career-high .276 with his second-base OPS (.729) last season with the Marlins, which is impressive given he spent his first five seasons with the Rockies, so his move to the Royals alone shouldn't end up having a negative impact on his play.

After playing in a career-high 147 games the prior season, Hampson dropped to just 90 appearances last year. Part of the drop was due to injury, but it was mostly ineffectiveness, especially in the power department. Hampson hit grounders at a career-high 49% clip, while hitting the balls he lofted with less authority. His strikeout rate also ticked up from 2021. The only positive was 12 steals in 14 attempts. Those perpetually taking a chance Hampson parlays playing at Coors Field into cheap power and speed will need to find a new target after the Rockies severed ties. Hampson's speed and defensive versatility will likely land him a job in a reserve capacity, but a high strikeout rate and minimal power detract from his fantasy charm. He'll have to earn a roster spot in spring training after he signed with Miami as a non-roster invitee.
