ANALYSIS: Joey Loperfido's promotion this past week ranks among the most exciting prospect call-ups early in the 2024 season. Loperfido is the sixth-ranked prospect in the Houston Astros farm system, per MLB Pipeline, and appears poised to make an immediate impact on the team's slumping offense. How frequently he expects to play is still somewhat up in the air, but with his positional flexibility between first base and outfield, and the recent demotion of Jose Abreu, Loperfido should have an opportunity to etch out a regular role.

Loperfido was off to a scalding-hot start in Triple-A this season, slashing .287/.393/.713 with a 154 wRC+ and a minor league-best 13 home runs. The strong performance built off his 25-home run, 27-stolen base campaign across 124 games played in the minors in 2023. Loperfido can fill up a well-rounded box score between demonstrated power-hitting and base running upside.
