Fantasy Baseball Player Notes

Jake Burger delivered a strong fantasy performance in 2024, hitting 29 home runs, driving in 76 runs, scoring 68 times, and adding one stolen base. His .250/.301/.460 slash line aligns closely with his career .251 batting average, suggesting sustainability. Burger's power is supported by a 12.3% Barrel Rate and a 91.3 mph average exit velocity, both indicative of his legitimate power. The Rangers' Globe Life Field is considered neutral regarding hitter friendliness, so it may not significantly impact Burger's counting stats next season. With eligibility at both third and first base, Burger's consistent power and improved plate discipline make him a valuable asset for fantasy rosters in 2025.​

​Josh Jung's 2024 season was significantly impacted by injuries, limiting him to just 46 games. During this period, he posted a .264/.298/.421 slash line, with 7 home runs, 16 RBIs, and 4 stolen bases over 178 at-bats. As he enters the 2025 season fully healthy, there's optimism that Jung can return to his 2023 All-Star form and fill your CI slot with some bonus 20-HR power.
