2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Orioles' 101-win season and American League East title was possible in large part due to their collection of young talent starting to blossom. However, they also got some surprise contributions from veterans and O'Hearn is included among that group. The 30-year-old didn't make Baltimore's Opening Day roster but was up for good by early May and was often manager Brandon Hyde's preferred choice at first base versus righties while also seeing some time in the outfield and at designated hitter. O'Hearn put up an impressive 51.5 percent hard-hit rate while also cutting his strikeout rate down to a respectable 22.3 percent. He had posted a lowly .633 OPS over his last four seasons with the Royals, so O'Hearn's track record is working against him. He's earned an initial shot versus righties this season, but the leash will be short. Read Past Outlooks

Takes seat versus lefty
O'Hearn is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.
ANALYSIS
The lefty-hitting O'Hearn will retreat to the bench while southpaw Tyler Anderson toes the rubber for the Angels. O'Hearn's absence clears up the designated-hitter spot for Adley Rutschman, allowing Rutschman to get a day out of the field while James McCann handles catching duties for Baltimore.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could carve out long-term spot
Manager Brandon Hyde admitted Friday it will be tough to take O'Hearn out of the lineup if he continues to excel at the plate, even after the Orioles get healthy, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
ANALYSIS
The 29-year-old is starting at first base and batting cleanup Friday against Seattle, which is his 14th start through 18 games in June. O'Hearn has taken on an expanded role with Cedric Mullins and Ryan Mountcastle sidelined, taking full advantage of the opportunity with a 1.128 OPS this month. Both injured players are a couple games into their minor-league rehab assignments and should return within the next week or two, but O'Hearn seems likely to maintain a regular role as long as he continues to hit.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2022
2021
2020
2019
2017
2016
O'Hearn has yet to play in more than 105 games or earn more than 370 plate appearances in a single season. The 29-year-old first baseman/designated hitter did very little with his chances in 2022, posting a .239/.290/.321 slash line in 145 plate appearances. He was DFA'd by the Royals and traded to the Orioles this offseason, and he didn't remain on Baltimore's 40-man roster for long. O'Hearn will have to earn his spot on the Orioles' big-league roster, and he may now be nothing more than organizational depth.
