Alec Burleson fell just shy of 600 plate appearances and proved to be a solid waiver-wire pickup for fantasy managers, though his production dipped in September. He makes plenty of contact with a low 12.8% strikeout rate but rarely draws walks. His role in the Cardinals' crowded outfield remains uncertain, but if he sees consistent playing time, he has the potential to hit around 20 home runs in 2025. However, his overall upside is somewhat limited.
