2024 Fantasy Outlook
Gallo began last season in Minnesota's starting lineup against righties mostly at first base and got off to a hot start (seven HRs and 1.003 OPS in April) but his usual struggles to make contact caused him to slump the next two months (42.3% K% and .664 OPS). He mostly came off the bench the rest of the season before missing most of September due to a left foot injury. Gallo hit 21 home runs, but his 42.8% K% and 49.6 contact rate were his worst for a full season. Gallo's power as measured by exit velocity and barrel percentage remain elite and he has an outstanding walk rate, but his inability to make contact results in prolonged slumps which typically see him lose playing time. The Twins had hoped he'd make enough contact to be a platoon player with plus defense in the corner outfield and first base, but gave up on the experiment. He's likely running out of chances to earn a regular role again. Read Past Outlooks
