Anthony Santander

Anthony Santander had an impressive 2024 season in his contract year, establishing career highs in games played (155), home runs (44), RBIs (102), and runs scored (91). His slash line of .235/.308/.506, combined with a notable reduction in his strikeout rate from 23.2% to 19.4%, highlighted his growth as a hitter. Now 30 years old, Santander heads to Canada on a deal with the Blue Jays and a questionable lineup around him, though Vladimir Guerrero Jr. will certainly provide RBI opportunities. Santander offers a rare combination of significant power and relatively low strikeout rates (career K% of 20.0), but questions remain about whether he can maintain his production after securing a long-term contract. While he's a reliable mid-round pick, early-round investment carries some risk, as regression could be on the horizon.
