2025 Fantasy Baseball Draft Notes

Junior Caminero
3B
Junior Caminero arrived late in the season with the Tampa Bay Rays and recorded a .248 batting average, six home runs, 18 RBIs, and two stolen bases over 43 games. His .299 on-base percentage and .424 slugging percentage resulted in a .723 OPS, aligning closely with his expected metrics (.301 xwOBA). Caminero's power potential is evident, boasting an 11.8% barrel rate and an average exit velocity of 89.7 mph. His 22.5% strikeout rate is reasonable for a young power hitter, though his 6.9% walk rate suggests room for improvement in plate discipline. At just 21 years old, Caminero's combination of power and developing contact skills positions him as an exciting prospect for 2025 fantasy rosters.

Josh Lowe
RF
Josh Lowe's 2024 season fell short of expectations, largely due to an early injury that limited him to 106 games. He struggled to find his rhythm at the plate, with his batting average dropping from .292 to .241. While his overall production was underwhelming, he still managed to swipe 25 bases, proving he can be a valuable asset in that category when healthy. He is a great bounceback candidate in 2025, especially if he falls in drafts.

Yandy Diaz
1B,DH
Yandy Díaz experienced a notable regression in his offensive performance during the 2024 season. After leading the American League with a .330 batting average in 2023, Díaz's numbers declined to a .281/.341/.414 slash line over 145 games in 2024. He recorded 14 home runs, 65 RBIs, and 55 runs scored, without any stolen bases. Advanced metrics indicate that Díaz's average exit velocity decreased from 93.4 mph in 2023 to 88.0 mph in 2024, and his barrel rate dropped from 9.5% to 5.9%. Despite these setbacks, Díaz maintained a solid on-base percentage (.341) and a low strikeout rate (15.3%). Entering his age-33 season, it remains to be seen if he can replicate his previous success or if the 2024 season marks the beginning of a decline.
