Projected to make roster
Zavala is hitting just .158 across 23 Cactus League plate appearances, but he's nevertheless predicted to make the Opening Day roster by Daniel Kramer of MLB.com.
ANALYSIS
The 30-year-old was acquired from the Diamondbacks in a late-November trade to offer some experienced depth at catcher behind Cal Raleigh. The disappointing spring at the plate notwithstanding, Zavala, who holds a career .210 average and .622 OPS over 514 major-league plate appearances, is still slated to spell Raleigh on occasion against right-handed pitching, although Kramer points out the offseason arrival is expected to see less action than Tom Murphy did in that same No. 2 role a season ago.

Stat Review
How does Seby Zavala 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
To be fresher in 2023?
Zavala's offseason has been beneficial for conditioning him to his upcoming MLB role, shares James Fegan of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Zavala transitioned from first base back to catching once the White Sox called him up last season. However, Fegan shares that Zavala felt like the quick shift was tough to acclimate for physically, potentially limiting his power. The numbers partially verify that, as Zavala slugged .439 across June and July but only .313 from August 1 onward. He's set to split time with Yasmani Grandal, but Zavala is likely an under-appreciated fantasy contributor, especially if he maintains his early season form from 2022.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Zavala lost his spot on the White Sox's Opening Day roster to begin 2022, but he rejoined the big club in June and appeared in a career-high 61 games. He had a .270/.347/.382 slash line with a 31.2 percent strikeout rate, and he saw some run as Chicago's primary backstop while Yasmani Grandal battled injuries. The strikeout rate has been an issue while Zavala came up through the minors, but it's his defensive ability that's his main draw. He should open 2023 in a backup role but shouldn't be expected to replicate his offensive numbers from last season.
