Fantasy Baseball Player Notes
2025 Fantasy Baseball Draft Notes

51.
Brenton Doyle
CF
Brenton Doyle took a significant step forward in his second MLB season, showing noticeable improvements at the plate. He cut his strikeout rate from 35% to 25.4% while boosting his walk rate from 5.1% to 7.6%. He posted a solid .260 batting average, though his .317 on-base percentage left room for improvement. Doyle's primary fantasy appeal comes from his counting stats-he tallied 23 home runs and 30 stolen bases despite playing in a struggling Rockies lineup. With 82 runs scored and 72 RBIs, he delivered strong fantasy production. If he maintains similar numbers, Doyle profiles as a reliable OF3 with the upside to push into OF2 territory.

Ezequiel Tovar
SS
Ezequiel Tovar emerged as a key contributor for the Rockies in 2024, playing 157 games and posting a .269 batting average with 26 home runs, 78 RBIs, 83 runs scored, and six stolen bases. His .269/.295/.469 slash line marked an improvement over his previous season's .253 average. While his .469 slugging percentage indicates respectable power, his on-base percentage of .295 suggests room for improvement in plate discipline. Tovar's walk rate was among the lowest in the league at 3.3%, and he amassed 200 strikeouts, resulting in a 28.8% strikeout rate. Looking ahead to 2025, Tovar addressing his strikeout and walk rates will be crucial for sustaining and enhancing his contributions. Given his youth and the Rockies' commitment to his development, Tovar has the potential to evolve into a more disciplined hitter, complementing his already stellar defense.

Nolan Jones
LF
Nolan Jones entered 2024 with plenty of hype, making him a popular early-round draft pick. Unfortunately, that excitement didn't translate into results. Limited to just 79 games due to injury, he struggled to build on his impressive rookie campaign, managing only three home runs and five stolen bases after posting a 20/20 season in 2023. His slash line took a significant hit, falling from .297/.389/.542 to .227/.321/.320, and he contributed just 28 runs and 28 RBIs. Outside of Luis Robert, Jones was arguably the biggest fantasy disappointment of the year. Looking ahead, a reasonable expectation is production somewhere between his stellar rookie numbers and his 2024 struggles-perhaps a 15/15 season. However, drafting him based on his 2023 breakout could set you up for disappointment.
