Fantasy Baseball Player Notes
2025 Fantasy Baseball Draft Notes
|
1.
Shohei Ohtani
DH,SP - LAD
Shohei Ohtani silenced any skeptics questioning his value after he was ruled out as a pitcher for 2024. The 30-year-old phenom delivered an unforgettable season, making a strong case as the top fantasy asset for managers who used him in their UTIL slot. Ohtani introduced the unprecedented 50/50 club, racking up 134 runs scored, 130 RBIs, and an extraordinary slash line of .311/.391/1.039. His .336 ISO and 9.1 WAR further highlighted his dominance. As a key piece of the Dodgers' lineup, he played a pivotal role in their championship run, earning his first World Series title. Expected to resume pitching in 2025, Ohtani offers an added bonus to his already unmatched fantasy value. Drafting him at 1.1 is a no-brainer, as his upside is unparalleled barring any unexpected injury.

2.
Bobby Witt Jr.
SS - KC
Bobby Witt Jr is the poster child for "five-category fantasy asset." In 2024, the 24-year-old smacked 32 home runs, scored 125, knocked in 109, and stole 31 bases. On top of this, he slashed .332/.389/.588 and now has an argument to be the top overall pick in 2025. He reduced his K% from 17.4 to 15.0 and raised his BB% from 5.8 to 8.0. The only blemish on his Statcast page is a high chase rate (32.1%), but with 100th percentile sprint speed (30.5) and sitting above the 90th percentile in xwOBA, xBA, xSLG, avgEV, and barrel percentage, we can let it go. Shortstop is a deep position, but Witt stands alone at the top of the heap.

3.
Aaron Judge
CF,DH - NYY
Aaron Judge roared back to form in 2024, reclaiming his spot as one of fantasy baseball's most dominant hitters. He topped MLB with 58 home runs and 144 RBIs while posting a phenomenal .322/.458/.701 slash line. Judge also showed improved plate discipline, reduced strikeouts, and remained healthy through 704 plate appearances. Along the way, he scored 122 runs and even chipped in 10 stolen bases. While Juan Soto's presence in the Yankees lineup provided some support, Judge's production should remain elite even without him in 2025. At 32 years old, durability is a minor concern, but the Yankees have effectively managed his workload by balancing his time between the outfield and designated hitter. Leading the league with an 11.2 WAR, Judge is a lock to dominate four of the five offensive categories in standard 5x5 leagues, making him a no-doubt top-three pick in drafts.

Elly De La Cruz
SS - CIN
There are two primary ways to win the stolen base category in 2025 fantasy baseball. You can wait and hodge-podge together a few guys to get there. Or you can draft Elly De La Cruz. The 22-year-old shortstop arrived in speedster fashion in 2024, racking up 67 stolen bases in 160 games. He also hit 25 home runs and scored 105 runs. Sure, his K% is in the sixth percentile at 31.3, and he isn't going to do much for your batting average. However, he can single-handedly deliver an SB win in weekly H2H leagues. Interestingly, ELDC hit more home runs away from Great American Ball Park (13 to 12), so there is room for growth with his power numbers if he unlocks that cheat code of a home stadium. Elly is a first-round draft pick with significant upside in 2025.

5.
Jose Ramirez
3B,DH - CLE
While it may seem unbelievable, Jose Ramirez remains underrated. The 32-year-old third baseman seems to fly under the radar every year, and every year, he simply does what he's been doing pretty much since he came into the league. In 2024, he tied his career high in home runs at 39, drove in 118, scored 114, and stole 41 bases. His OBP took a small dip (.335), but his average settled exactly on his career number of .279. Still, it is guaranteed that in at least one league you're in, everyone will look past him anyway. Imagine ignoring the guy who came within one homer of being the first third baseman in history to post a 40/40 season. Coming out of the first round of your draft with Jose Ramirez is one of the safest plays you can make in 2025 fantasy.
|
|
6.
Juan Soto
RF - NYM
Juan Soto's 2024 performance reinforced why he's a fantasy powerhouse and contributed to his record-setting deal with the New York Mets this offseason. At just 26 years old by the end of the season, Soto demonstrated exceptional durability by appearing in 157 games. He excelled in his trademark areas, boasting a .419 on-base percentage and a .288 batting average. Soto also delivered career highs with 41 home runs and 128 runs scored while contributing 109 RBIs and seven stolen bases. There are some unknowns regarding his supporting case in New York. While Francisco Lindor is an elite option ahead of him in the order, the rest of their lineup remains an enigma depending on what else they do in free agency. Either way, Soto gives you plenty of opportunity to rack up counting stats. Just beware of a small letdown following the massive contract.
|
|
7.
Gunnar Henderson
SS - BAL
Gunnar Henderson made the most of his second full season in the majors. He hit 37 home runs, scored 118 runs, drove in 92, and stole 21 bases. Perhaps most impressively, his batting average jumped to .281 from .255 the year before. He sits in the 97th percentile of hard-hit rate (53.9%), and the rest of his batting profile suggests more of 2024 to come. He dropped his K% from 25.6 to 22.1 and raised his walk rate to 10.8 from 9.0, which is exactly the type of growth you hope to see in a player's second year. Still just 23 years old, Henderson is a first-round talent whose Steamer projections align with what we saw last season. Even though the shortstop position is deep, Gunnar is in that top-5 echelon and worth the high investment.

|
8.
Kyle Tucker
RF - CHC
Kyle Tucker's 2024 was a lost year due to a leg fracture that limited him to only 78 games. He still managed 23 home runs and 11 stolen bases in only 277 at-bats, and he ended the season with more walks (56) than strikeouts (54). An offseason trade landed Tucker in Chicago to play his contract year with the Cubs. Wrigley Field is middle-of-the-pack when it comes to ballpark factors for lefties with extreme pull tendencies, but Tucker is such a solid all-around hitter that the difference should be negligible compared to Minute Maid Park. Assuming his leg is completely healed, the 27-year-old will be out for a massive payday in 2025, and there is every reason to take him in the first round to anchor your outfield.
|
|
9.
Mookie Betts
SS,RF - LAD
Mookie Betts got off to a torrid start in 2024 before a hand injury took out a chunk of his season and left him with only 116 games played. As hand injuries are wont to do, it sapped a bit of his power (19 HR), but he still reached 75 runs and RBIs while stealing 16 bases, his highest total since 2019. Betts's Statcast profile is one of a player who is simply really good at hitting baseballs. He is in the 90th percentile or higher in xwOBA, xBA, squared-up percentage, chase rate, whiff rate, strikeout percentage, and walk percentage. His 11% strikeout rate stands out in particular. Betts will have shortstop and outfield eligibility in all leagues and, depending on the format, may carry 2B as well. One of the most solid draft strategies in 2024 was "just draft all the Dodgers," and 2025 doesn't look much different. Betts is the table setter and a star in all fantasy formats.
|
|
10.
Fernando Tatis Jr.
RF - SD
Fernando Tatis Jr. dealt with injuries during the 2024 season but remained highly productive when on the field. Over 102 games, he delivered 21 home runs, 64 runs scored, 49 RBI, and 11 stolen bases. His Statcast metrics remain elite, ranking in the 99th percentile for hard-hit rate and in the 97th percentile for both average exit velocity and expected batting average. While his days of swiping 25+ bases may be behind him, Tatis continues to provide excellent power and strong ratios. If the Padres bolster their lineup through free agency, his counting stats could see a notable boost.

11.
Corbin Carroll
CF,RF - ARI
Corbin Carroll experienced the common sophomore slump after a standout Rookie of the Year campaign, though his performance improved in the second half of the season. Despite this rebound, he fell short of expectations tied to his first-round ADP. Carroll managed to hit 22 home runs (11 in August alone), surpassed his rookie run total with 121 scored (compared to 116 in 2023), and ended just two RBI shy of his debut season's mark. However, his slash line took a notable hit, dropping to .231/.322/.428 from .285/.362/.506. His stolen bases also declined, with 35 steals in 2024 compared to 54 the previous year, even though he played in more games. Carroll's potential as a five-category contributor remains appealing, and his final stats will likely land between his rookie and sophomore campaigns. However, fantasy managers may feel more comfortable selecting him in the second round rather than the first.
|
|
12.
Francisco Lindor
SS - NYM
Francisco Lindor followed up his 30/30 season in 2023 with another outstanding performance in 2024. He hit 33 home runs, scored 107 runs, drove in 91, and stole 29 bases in 152 games. He slashed .273/.344/.500, contributing to his career-high xwOBA of .382. The 31-year-old just keeps on keeping on, causing many in the fantasy community to overlook him in that top echelon of shortstops. Lindor will get a boost hitting in front of the newly-acquired Juan Soto, possibly leading to another 30/30 season with 100 runs scored. There are no "Buyer Beware" stickers for one of the highest-floor fantasy players in the game.
|
|
13.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
1B,DH - TOR
Vladimir Guerrero Jr was the top first baseman in 2024 fantasy baseball. If that surprises you, it shouldn't. The 25-year-old has demonstrated an elite ability to hit since he entered the league in 2019. Last year, in an ugly Toronto lineup, Vladdy hit 30 home runs, drove in 103, and scored 98 himself. He slashed an impressive .323/.396/.544. Some of those numbers may have resulted from an abnormally high .342 BABIP, but they're not outrageous compared to his career averages. The Blue Jays recently added some protection for Vladdy in the form of Anthony Santander, but the really good news for Vladdy is that he will be a highly coveted free agent after this season. Fantasy managers should jump all over the opportunity to take advantage of the young superstar.
|
|
14.
Yordan Alvarez
LF,DH - HOU
Yordan Alvarez set a career-high by playing in 147 games this season. He showcased his power with 35 home runs, complemented by 88 runs scored, 86 RBIs, and a career-best six stolen bases. Alvarez posted an impressive .308/.392/.567 slash line, ranking within the Top 7 across several key offensive categories in all of baseball. While his walk rate dipped from 13.9% to 10.9%, his strikeout rate also improved, reflecting a continued ability to make selective, quality swings. Although stolen bases won't be a significant part of his game, Alvarez remains a reliable contributor in four key categories, cementing his status as a strong first-round option heading into 2025.
|
|
15.
Julio Rodriguez
CF - SEA
Julio Rodriguez's performance across the months is a rollercoaster worth noting. From April through October, his batting averages fluctuated as follows: .256, .274, .206, .375, .234, and .328. J-Rod possesses undeniable five-category potential; however, his production in 2024 showed some decline compared to the previous year. His home runs dropped from 32 to 20, while his runs and RBIs dipped to 76 and 68, respectively. Fantasy managers were also let down by a reduction in stolen bases, going from 37 to 24. Rodriguez's approach at the plate left room for improvement, as evidenced by a 25.4% strikeout rate, a mere 6.2% walk rate, and an alarming 37.4% chase rate. On the bright side, his slash line-.273/.325/.409-was consistent with his 2023 numbers. While Rodriguez might spark debates on draft day, his immense upside keeps him firmly in OF1 territory. Just brace yourself for the potential highs and lows throughout the season.

16.
Jackson Chourio
LF,RF - MIL
Welcome to the big leagues, Jackson Chourio! The highly-anticipated rookie faced early challenges, struggling through April and May, which led many fantasy managers to drop him. However, those who stayed patient or picked him up later reaped the rewards. The 20-year-old finished the season with an impressive stat line: 21 home runs, 22 stolen bases, and a .275/.327/.464 slash line, mirroring the promise he showed during his stellar 2023 Double-A campaign. He also contributed 80 runs and 79 RBIs, impressive numbers considering the Brewers' lineup often struggled to generate offense. While his Chase% and BB% highlight areas for growth, these are typical for young players adjusting to MLB pitching. Fantasy managers can look forward to slight improvements in his power and speed, with a 25/25 season well within reach as he continues to develop.
|
|
17.
Bryce Harper
1B - PHI
Bryce Harper stayed relatively healthy in 2024, playing in 145 games, his highest total since 2019. He hit 30 bombs, drove in 87, scored 85, and stole seven bases. His slash line remained an ever-impressive .285/.373/.525, and he has an elite walk rate of 12%. Of note, his strikeout rate has seen a slight increase for three consecutive years, but it remains within his normal career average. His 2025 projections put him back in the 30/100/100 range. The 32-year-old will only have first-base eligibility, but he should be one of the first three off the board at that position.
|
|
18.
Freddie Freeman
1B - LAD
Freddie Freeman dealt with an ankle injury in 2024 that limited him to 147 games, his lowest total since 2017. He also failed to hit .300 for the first time since 2019. Some of this is attributable to an outlier BABIP of .306, well below his career average. However, the rest of his fantasy profile remained strong as he hit 22 homers, drove in 89, scored 81 times, and stole nine bases. Freeman will be playing his age-35 season, which could scare off some managers on draft day, but he still bats squarely in the middle of the best lineup in baseball and has not shown any indications of serious decline. He remains a safe bet to set-and-forget in your first base slot.
|
|
19.
Jarren Duran
LF,CF - BOS
Jarren Duran made a significant impact in 2024, proving to be a tremendous asset for fantasy managers who rostered him. Over 160 games, he tallied 111 runs, 34 stolen bases, 21 home runs, and 75 RBIs. Duran also showcased an impressive .285/.342/.492 slash line, establishing himself as a high-tier five-category contributor worthy of early-round consideration. While he occasionally struggles with plate discipline, reflected in his average Whiff% and K%, his 2024 batting average slightly outpaced expectations. Even so, he projects to deliver another 20/30 season with around 100 runs, solidifying his value as a reliable OF2, especially in formats requiring five outfielders.
|
|
20.
Trea Turner
SS - PHI
Trea Turner missed a large chunk of the 2024 season with a hamstring injury that also undermined his ability to steal bases. In 121 games, he stole 19, the lowest total of his career. He did pop 21 home runs, scored 88 runs, and drove in 62. The most encouraging thing from him in 2024 was a return to his high batting average, ending at .295 on the year. Turner is on the wrong side of 30, but he still bats in a powerful Phillies lineup with plenty of talent around him to boost his counting stats. However, he is no longer in the upper echelon of shortstops, which makes him cheaper on draft day, but don't expect the Turner of old to cement your stolen base count.
|
|
21.
Jackson Merrill
CF - SD
Jackson Merrill made a significant impact for the Padres in 2024. The 21-year-old transitioned seamlessly from Double-A to the majors, delivering an impressive season. He tallied 24 home runs, 77 runs scored, 90 RBIs, and 16 stolen bases, all while maintaining a .292/.326/.500 slash line. These stats are supported by elite underlying metrics, including a .308 xBA (98th percentile), .547 xSLG (96th percentile), and .376 xwOBA (94th percentile). While Merrill's 4.9% walk rate and tendency to chase pitches leave room for improvement, his production more than compensates. Fantasy managers can confidently target him as a strong OF2 option, with 2025 projections aligning closely with his standout 2024 season, making him worth a third-round pick in upcoming drafts.
|
|
22.
Ketel Marte
2B,DH - ARI
Ketel Marte went off in 2024, setting new career highs in home runs (36) and RBIs (95). He added 93 runs and seven stolen bases while slashing .292/.372/.560, rewarding fantasy managers who took him on draft day and catapulting him into the 2B1 position heading into 2025. Marte missed some time last season with an ankle injury and has only played in 150 or more games twice in his career, so there is some injury risk baked in. However, at age 31, he seems primed for another monster season and is one of only two second basemen capable of a 30/100/100 season. Draft him with confidence.
|
|
23.
Jazz Chisholm Jr.
3B,CF - NYY
Jazz Chisholm finally delivered on his potential by staying healthy in 2024, playing 147 games between Miami and New York. The 26-year-old showcased his versatility, gaining third base eligibility while being a key contributor across multiple categories. Chisholm posted 24 home runs, 40 stolen bases, 74 runs scored, and 73 RBIs. If the Yankees bolster their lineup, his counting stats could climb in 2025. While his Statcast metrics remain unimpressive, his .256/.324/.436 slash line represents a reasonable expectation for fantasy managers. Focus on his power-speed combo, boosted by Yankee Stadium's short right field and his 82nd-percentile sprint speed, and cross your fingers for a full season of health.
|
|
24.
Rafael Devers
3B - BOS
Rafael Devers offers a level of consistency that only one other third baseman on the board can give, but at a Round 3 cost. In 2024, he hit 28 homers, scored 87 runs, and drove in 83. He slashed .272/.354/.516 while playing in 138 games. Devers dealt with shoulder issues, which probably caused the career-high 24.5% K rate, but his 11.1% walk rate was also the highest of his career. If the rest of the Red Sox lineup can stay healthy, Devers's counting stats should return closer to the 30/100/100 area in 2025. He's worth the pick.
|
|
25.
Austin Riley
3B - ATL
Austin Riley took a step back in 2024 after three years of stellar production. A right-hand fracture ended his season in August after appearing in only 110 games. He struggled in the games he did play, only hitting 19 home runs and slashing an uncharacteristic .256/.322/.461. Fantasy managers can essentially write off the year and trust that the 27-year-old will return to the slugging machine he was in 2021-2023. With a healthier lineup around him, his counting stats should get back to the 30/90/90 that is worth drafting in the third round.
|
|
26.
Ronald Acuna Jr.
RF - ATL
Ronald Acuña Jr. was limited to just 48 games in 2024 after suffering a torn ACL, a devastating blow to many fantasy rosters. His status for Opening Day 2025 remains uncertain, raising echoes of his situation heading into 2023. That year, Acuña bounced back from a prior knee injury to deliver one of the most remarkable fantasy performances ever, with 41 home runs, 149 runs scored, 106 RBIs, and an incredible 73 stolen bases. While replicating those stats in 2025 may be a tall order, few players at age 27 possess his unique blend of power and speed. Expect a slight draft-day discount due to the injury concerns, but monitor updates on his recovery to ensure his absence won't extend into the season's early weeks.
|
|
27.
Matt Olson
1B - ATL
Matt Olson followed his career year in 2023 with a bit of a dud (especially concerning his draft cost) in 2024. He failed to hit 30 home runs for the first time since 2018, ending with 29 after smacking 54 the year before. He also came up just short of 100 RBIs with 98. Olson's walk rate decreased, and his 12.4 barrel percentage was the lowest in seven years. So, what can we expect from the first baseman this season? Assuming the Atlanta lineup returns to good health, his counting stats should rebound, and chances are he will get to 35 home runs again. If there is a discount on draft day, don't be afraid to scoop him up and assume regression will land him in the range we're used to. Just don't expect 2023 numbers again.
|
|
28.
Manny Machado
3B,DH - SD
Manny Machado continued to produce, even in his age-31 season, and provided fantasy managers with 152 games played for the third time in the last four years. He hit 29 homers, drove in 105, scored 77, and somehow got to 11 steals. His slash line of .275/.325/.472 remains aligned with his career numbers. The primary blemish on Machado's growing resume is that his walk rate has declined for four straight years, which should eventually impact his batting average more than we would like. However, you cannot argue with history, and Machado has hit 28 or more home runs every year since 2015 (save for 2020). As far as the hot corner goes, he remains squarely in Tier 1 heading into 2025.
|
|
29.
Corey Seager
SS - TEX
In 2024, Corey Seager hit 30 home runs for the third year in a row; unfortunately, he also dealt with a variety of injuries that limited him to 123 games. This seems to be the profile for the 30-year-old shortstop at this point. Seager can hit the cover off the ball, hits for average, and gets on base at a wild clip. He'll score 80+ runs and drive in 75+. The only issue for fantasy managers is that he has played more than 150 games only twice in his career since 2015. You'll need to consider an IL stint when drafting him, but he is a cheaper, high-end choice at shortstop than the top tier.
|
|
30.
Pete Alonso
1B - NYM
Pete Alonso continued to mash the ball in 2024, hitting 34 home runs, though this was his career-low total and probably not the number fantasy managers were hoping for when they drafted him. After a lengthy offseason of rumors, Alonso is returning to New York to bat behind Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto. Projections have him nearing the 40-homer mark, and he should get back to 100 RBIs easily with those two ahead of him. Just be aware that his numbers are trending in the wrong direction to be the monster power source he used to be in fantasy.
|
|
31.
William Contreras
C,DH - MIL
It was only a matter of time before William Contreras became the top catcher in fantasy baseball, and his usage is one big reason why. The 27-year-old appeared in 155 games, catching 120 while serving as DH in 35. It is hard to find that level of consistency at the backstop position, but his numbers also stand alone. He hit 23 home runs, scored 99 runs, drove in 92, and stole nine bases. Perhaps his best trait compared to his peers is that he is an asset to your ratio numbers. He slashed .281/.365/.466 in 2024, which is not an aberration compared to his career. Aside from having to use an early pick on him, there isn't much downside to the younger Contreras.
|
|
32.
Jose Altuve
2B - HOU
Jose Altuve bounced back from his injury-plagued 2023 and played 153 for the Astros in 2024. He hit 20 home runs and stole 22 bases, the most since 2017. However, he is now entering his age-35 season, and we need to ask if the decline is in store sooner rather than later. His expected stats suggest Altuve experienced more luck than usual last season. His xBA was .262, compared to his final line of .295. Hix xSLG is perhaps even more concerning, dropping below .400 for the first time since 2015. The chances of him reaching 20 steals again seem low, but he can still get to the 15 mark fairly easily. Second base remains a difficult position to fill, so Altuve still has plenty of value. But don't pay for the player of yesteryear in case Father Time arrives early in 2025.
|
|
33.
Ozzie Albies
2B - ATL
Ozzie Albies could stake a claim to the 2B1 title if he can stay healthy, which he has struggled to do. In 2024, he managed to play only 99 games and failed to produce much when he was on the field. He hit 10 home runs, scored 52, drove in 53, and only stole eight bases. The concerning note for Albies is that his 2024 stat line looked much like his injury-plagued 2022 year. Of course, in between the two, he produced MVP-like numbers (33/96/109). Which Albies we will get in 2025 remains to be seen. It would be prudent to draft him as though he will end up between those two extremes (think somewhere in the 20/90/80 range) while being hopeful that another 2023 is in store because the upside is definitely there.
|
|
34.
Michael Harris II
CF - ATL
Michael Harris faced challenges in 2024 due to injuries, which appeared to impact his on-field performance. The 23-year-old also experienced some bad luck, as his .264/.304/.418 slash line fell short of his expected stats (.288 xBA and .470 xSLG). Despite this, he managed to tally 16 home runs and 10 stolen bases, showcasing his potential if he can maintain his health. However, Harris has played fewer games than fantasy managers would hope for from a fourth-round pick in each of his first two seasons. While he remains a strong option, his injury history adds risk, making him a less secure choice as an OF2.
|
|
35.
Kyle Schwarber
DH - PHI
Kyle Schwarber delivered another stellar season, showcasing his trademark consistency by blasting 38 home runs, crossing the plate 110 times, and driving in 104 runs. In 2024, he added a .248 batting average to his résumé, stole five bases, and kept his strikeout total under 200 for the first time since 2021-a season in which he played just 113 games. At 31 years old, Schwarber's skill set remains well-suited for maintaining his production. Batting in the heart of a potent Phillies lineup, he's primed to keep racking up numbers. With free agency looming after 2025, he could also bring an extra edge to his performance. Just be prepared to balance out his impact on your team's batting average while enjoying the power surge.
|
|
36.
Wyatt Langford
LF,DH - TEX
Wyatt Langford entered the 2024 season as one of the most anticipated rookies, and his debut campaign was a rollercoaster ride. He finished on a high note, posting a .300 batting average in September while launching eight of his 16 home runs and collecting 20 RBI and 25 runs during the month. Langford appears to have navigated the typical challenges of a rookie season, potentially setting himself up to avoid the notorious "sophomore slump." Fantasy managers can reasonably expect a 20/20 season (he tallied 16 homers and 19 steals in 2024), with the potential for improved counting stats if the Texas lineup remains healthy. He's a reliable OF2/OF3 option with plenty of upside for fantasy rosters.
|
|
37.
Oneil Cruz
SS,CF - PIT
Oneil Cruz had his first healthy season in the majors and produced a 20/20 season while also picking up dual eligibility by moving to the outfield. The 26-year-old played 146 games, scoring 72 runs, knocking in 76, and slashing .259/.324/.449. The downside of Cruz is his propensity to strikeout (30.2% K-rate). He sits in the 97th percentile or higher in average exit velocity, barrel percentage, hard hit percentage, and bat speed. The talent is there to get to a 25/25 season; just don't expect him to hit much above .250.
|
|
38.
CJ Abrams
SS - WSH
CJ Abrams had an amazing first half of 2024 in his second full year with Washington before a miserable second half left fantasy managers wondering what happened. He was demoted to Triple-A after a team curfew violation in September and ended the season with 138 games played. He hit 20 home runs and stole 31 bases while slashing .246/.314/.433 for the season. Abrams's Statcast page is pretty ugly; he is barely above the 50th percentile in only four categories. However, he has 20/30 potential in 2025, which is enticing for those who wait at shortstop past the top tier.

Teoscar Hernandez
LF,RF - LAD
Teoscar Hernández capitalized on his contract year with an impressive season. The 32-year-old joined the Dodgers and filled their need for a right-handed power bat to complement the top of their lineup. He delivered 33 home runs, 99 RBIs, 84 runs scored, and 12 stolen bases while slashing .272/.339/.501. Hernández continued to dominate left-handed pitching, hitting .290 against southpaws. However, his strikeout rate remained elevated at 28.8%, though his power mitigates some of the downside. Now that he is returning to L.A. to continue batting in the middle of the best order in baseball, Hernandez offers a solid return as an OF2/OF3 in fantasy.

James Wood
LF - WSH
James Wood joined the Nationals in July 2024 and appeared in 79 games, delivering a performance that had its ups and downs. However, he showed clear progress as the season progressed, particularly in August and September. Wood finished the year with nine home runs, 14 stolen bases, 43 runs scored, and 41 RBIs while posting a respectable .264/.354/.427 slash line. Projected to be an everyday player for Washington next season, Wood has the potential to deliver a strong 20/20 campaign. His impressive Triple-A stats and Rookie of the Year upside will make him a coveted pick in drafts, likely pushing his ADP to around the fifth round.

Brent Rooker
DH - ATH
Brent Rooker delivered a standout fantasy season in 2024, launching 39 home runs, driving in 112 runs, scoring 82 times, and even adding 11 stolen bases. His impressive .293/.365/.562 slash line, however, is unlikely to hold up in 2025, as it significantly outpaces his career .243 batting average. The good news is that Rooker's power is legitimate, supported by a .570 xSLG and a 97th percentile Barrel Rate (16.6%). While his 28.8% strikeout rate showed improvement, it still raises concerns, particularly since players at 30 years old rarely sustain such progress. The Athletics' move to Sutter Health Park in Sacramento-a park that favors hitters-could enhance Rooker's counting stats next season. Though he'll start 2025 with only DH eligibility, his potential for 40 home runs places him among an elite group of power hitters, making him a worthwhile addition to fantasy rosters.
|
|
42.
Marcell Ozuna
DH - ATL
Marcell Ozuna returned to the Braves' lineup in 2024 and delivered nearly identical results to his 2023 campaign. He crushed 39 home runs, drove in 104 runs, and crossed the plate 96 times. Unlike Kyle Schwarber, Ozuna paired his power with a .302 batting average, making him a valuable four-category contributor. However, that lofty average was fueled by an unsustainable .359 BABIP, suggesting he's likely to revert closer to his career mark of .272. Still, with Atlanta's offense at full strength and Ozuna playing in a contract year, he remains a worthy staple in your utility slot.

43.
Lawrence Butler
RF - ATH
Lawrence Butler made an impressive debut in 2024, showcasing his power-speed combination with 22 home runs and 18 stolen bases. Over 125 games, the 24-year-old contributed 57 RBIs, 63 runs, and a solid .262/.317/.490 slash line, performing in line with his expected stats. While the Athletics' ballpark changes add some uncertainty for hitters, the lineup still offers potential. Butler profiles as a strong mid-round pick with 20/20 upside, making him a reliable OF3 option for fantasy managers.

44.
Marcus Semien
2B - TEX
The always-reliable Marcus Semien proved to be otherwise in 2024. He still played in 159 games and crossed 700 plate appearances, but the results were less than ideal. He hit 23 home runs and scored 101 runs, but he only knocked in 74 and stole only eight bases, the first time he failed to reach double digits since 2014. Some of Semien's issues came from an abnormally low BABIP of .250 (career of .283). This tanked his slash line to .237/.308/.391, but his underlying stats don't suggest any vast dropoff in performance. However, as he enters his age-34 season, there is always the potential for decline, and he should drop some in drafts as a result.
|
|
45.
Willy Adames
SS - SF
Willy Adames made the most of his contract year in 2024. He appeared in 161 games and hit career highs in HR (32), RBIs (112), runs (93), and stolen bases (21). He parlayed that performance into a seven-year, $182 million contract with the San Francisco Giants. It also suggests a plethora of red flags heading into 2025. Moving from Milwaukee to San Francisco won't help a right-handed power hitter who strikes out at a fairly rapid clip. He does have a decent walk rate (10.8%), but his career OBP is still .322. Considering he had never stolen double-digit bases before last season, it would be a fool's errand to expect a repeat of that performance. Essentially, Adames is worth a starting shortstop spot on rosters but keep your projections closer to his 2023 than his 2024.
|
|
46.
Christian Walker
1B - HOU
Christian Walker has been chronically undervalued for most of his career. Over the past three years, he has been a model of consistency, though an oblique injury cut into his production in 2024. He was traded from Arizona to Houston in the offseason, where he will bat in the middle of the order and provide protection for Yordan Alvarez. While he is heading into his age-33 season, Walker should be the fifth first baseman off the board in most drafts and should provide similar production to the four above him at a much cheaper cost.
|
|
47.
Anthony Santander
RF,DH - TOR
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.

48.
Josh Naylor
1B - ARI
Josh Naylor rewarded fantasy managers who drafted him in 2024. He played 152 games for the Guardians, hitting 31 homers with 108 RBIs and scoring 84 runs. Batting behind Steven Kwan and Jose Ramirez definitely has its perks. Naylor is now in Arizona to be the slugging first baseman in the order behind Corbin Carroll and Ketel Marte. While 30 home runs might be too lofty of an expectation, Naylor should land in the 25/80/90 range in 2025, and he should see some improvement in his .249 batting average, which was suppressed due to an outlier BABIP of .246. He leads the second tier of first basemen that you can have for a cheaper cost in the middle rounds.
|
|
49.
Adley Rutschman
C,DH - BAL
Adley Rutschman took a step back in 2024 compared to his stellar 2023 season. The 26-year-old appeared in 148 games, serving as the designated hitter in 45 of them, and slashed a disappointing .250/.318/.391. He hit 19 home runs, driving in 79 and scoring 68. His numbers in the second half of the year were abysmal, as he batted only .207 with only three home runs. Of most concern was his 100-point drop in OPS. Rutschman is being taken as the second catcher off the board, as there is hope that he can return closer to his 2023 numbers; however, his Statcast page suggests 2024 wasn't a terrible outlier of a season. There may be similar talent later in the draft.
|
|
50.
Bryan Reynolds
LF,RF,DH - PIT
Bryan Reynolds remains one of the most dependable options in fantasy baseball, delivering another steady season in 2024. He posted 24 home runs, 88 RBIs, 73 runs, and 10 steals while improving his batting average to .275 after hovering in the .260s the previous two years. Reynolds is the type of player who quietly excels-consistent, reliable, and unfazed by the ups and downs. At 29, he may not bring much flash, but for an OF3, reliability often outweighs excitement. Few players offer a steadier floor than Reynolds.
|
|
51.
Jordan Westburg
2B,3B - BAL
Jordan Westburg returned for his second season in Baltimore and played 107 games, hitting 18 home runs and slashing .264/.312/.481. With the Orioles bringing in the left field fence, Westburg's right-handed power should see a boost in 2025. This is encouraging for fantasy managers, as the 26-year-old hit .303 at home. Westburg will most likely play third base in 2025 unless Jackson Holliday fails to take the leap at second. Either way, with second base this year's version of a wasteland, Westburg holds plenty of value for fantasy managers.
|
|
52.
Brenton Doyle
CF - COL
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.
|

53.
Luis Robert Jr.
CF - CWS
Luis Robert's highly anticipated 2024 season quickly turned into a major disappointment. After a breakout 2023 campaign where he played 145 games and set career highs across the board, his production regressed significantly, resembling his 2022 struggles. Despite appearing in 100 games, his home run total plummeted from 38 to just 14, and while he swiped 23 bases, it wasn't nearly enough to compensate for his dreadful .224/.278/.379 slash line. Even more concerning, his expected batting average (xBA) was an even lower .215. Playing on a historically bad White Sox team certainly didn't help, and with little lineup protection around him, there's little reason for optimism. Unless he comes at a significant draft discount, it's best to look elsewhere.

54.
Junior Caminero
3B - TB
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.
|
|
55.
Mark Vientos
3B - NYM
Mark Vientos did not start 2024 in New York, but by the time the season was over, he was in the big leagues and behind only Pete Alonso and Francisco Lindor in team home runs. Vientos played 111 games, smacking 27 home runs, driving in 71, and scoring 58 runs. He slashed an impressive .266/.322/.516 and is in the 92nd percentile in barrel percentage at 14.1. Vientos is going to strike out more than we'd like (29.7% K rate), and his xBA was only .246. However, he now gets to bat behind both Lindor and Juan Soto, which should lead to many more RBI opportunities. Don't expect any stolen bases, but the 25-year-old is a perfectly serviceable third baseman on fantasy rosters.
|
|
56.
Alex Bregman
3B - BOS
Alex Bregman landed in Boston as a free agent in the offseason, a park that may reduce his home run total, but he should punish the Green Monster plenty during the year. Last season, the 30-year-old was snakebit by a .264 BABIP and an absurdly low walk rate at 6.9%. (His career number is 13.4%.) Assuming both of these numbers bounce back in 2025, Bregman offers a stable floor in an excellent lineup. The chance that he could get 2B eligibility would catapult his value even further.
|
|
57.
Seiya Suzuki
RF,DH - CHC
Seiya Suzuki battled injuries in 2024, which disrupted an otherwise strong season. The 30-year-old outfielder posted 21 home runs, 74 runs scored, 73 RBIs, and 16 stolen bases while delivering a valuable .283/.366/.482 slash line for fantasy managers. One concern is a rise in strikeout rate from 22.3% to 27.4%, but his HardHit% and wOBA continued to improve for a third straight year. Given his consistent production, Suzuki remains a solid mid-round target as an OF3 in fantasy drafts.
|
|
58.
Riley Greene
LF,CF,DH - DET
Riley Greene was a popular sleeper pick last season, and he backed up the hype with a strong performance. The 23-year-old outfielder launched 24 home runs, tallied 82 runs, and drove in 74 RBIs. While his batting average dipped slightly from .288 to .267, his overall slash line of .267/.347/.Four hundred fifty-seven remained solid. Notably, Greene continued to refine his approach at the plate, lowering his strikeout rate for the third consecutive season while boosting his walk rate from 8.4% to 11.0%. He may not be the flashiest name, but that works to your advantage-his value often exceeds his draft price. If you can land him as your OF4, your outfield depth will be in excellent shape.
|

59.
Matt McLain
2B,SS - CIN
Matt McLain's 2024 season was unfortunately curtailed due to injury. After a promising 2023 rookie year with the Cincinnati Reds, where he posted a .290 batting average, 16 home runs, 50 RBIs, and 14 stolen bases over 89 games, McLain faced health setbacks in 2024. He began the season on the injured list, recovering from a right oblique strain sustained in late August 2023. Despite efforts to return, including a brief rehab assignment in September 2023, he re-aggravated the injury and was shut down for the remainder of the season. In March 2024, McLain underwent shoulder surgery to repair a labrum tear and cartilage damage, sidelining him indefinitely. As of March 2025, McLain is actively participating in spring training, aiming to regain his form and secure his spot in the Reds' lineup for the upcoming season.

Cody Bellinger
1B,CF,RF,DH - NYY
Cody Bellinger experienced the expected regression in 2024 following his stellar 2023 campaign. The 29-year-old outfielder finished with 18 home runs, 78 RBIs, 72 runs scored, and nine stolen bases while slashing .266/.325/.426. Injuries limited him to 130 games, impacting his overall production. Despite the dip in numbers, he opted into his player option to stay with the Cubs and was promptly traded to the Yankees, which could offer a boost to his home run total. The biggest concern is whether he reverts to his 2021-2022 form, when he struggled significantly. Viewing him as an OF3/OF4 in fantasy drafts is reasonable, but there's still the risk that he falls below replacement level.
|
|
61.
Triston Casas
1B - BOS
Triston Casas' 2024 season was marred by injuries, limiting him to just 63 games. Despite this, he showcased his power potential by hitting 13 home runs and driving in 32 runs over 212 at-bats, resulting in a .241/.337/.462 slash line. His advanced metrics support his power, with a 13.3% barrel rate and a .330 xwOBA, indicating that his underlying performance aligns closely with his actual results. However, his 31.7% strikeout rate is a concern, as it represents a significant increase from his 25.1% rate in 2023. At 25 years old, Casas still has room for development, but reducing his strikeouts will be crucial for sustained success. Looking ahead to 2025, a healthy season could see him emerge as a key power contributor for the Red Sox, whose offseason acquisitions have greatly improved their overall lineup. Fantasy managers should monitor his health and strikeout trends, as a full season could yield substantial home run totals.
|
|
62.
Salvador Perez
C,1B,DH - KC
Salvador Perez continued to be a reliable fantasy player in 2024, delivering 27 home runs, 104 RBIs, and 58 runs scored over 158 games. His .271/.330/.456 slash line marked an improvement in on-base percentage compared to his career .303 OBP, thanks to a career-high 44 walks. Perez's power remains legitimate, with a 12.2% barrel rate and an average exit velocity of 91.1 mph, aligning with his career norms. Given his consistent power production and improved plate discipline, Perez remains a valuable option for fantasy managers seeking stability at the catcher position.
|
|
63.
Cal Raleigh
C - SEA
Cal Raleigh holds down most of the power at the catcher position on his own. He hit 34 home runs last season and has 91 over the past three years, far and away the most among backstops. He is a batting average liability (.220), and his .312 OBP leaves much to be desired. However, he collected 100 RBI, scored 73 runs, and even stole six bases. If you can find a way to offset his ratios, Raleigh offers plenty of upside in 2025 at the most difficult position to fill.
|
|
64.
Vinnie Pasquantino
1B,DH - KC
Vinnie Pasquantino took a good-sized leap in his first full season in the majors. Even though his season was cut short due to a thumb injury, Italian Breakfast still hit 19 home runs and drove in 97 while slashing .262/.315/.446. While his walk rate took a small step down, his strikeout rate (12.8%) and whiff rate (14.5%) remain in the 96th percentile in the league. Pasquantino should remain in the lineup behind Bobby Witt Jr and Salvador Perez, making him a fantastic target for counting stats. If you wait on first basemen, nabbing Pasquantino in the 10th round can give you the return you're looking for.
|
|
65.
Yainer Diaz
C,DH - HOU
Yainer Diaz became the Astros' starting catcher in 2024, which put a dent in his power numbers given the physical responsibilities of playing the position more regularly. In 148 games, he hit 16 homers with 84 RBI and 70 runs while slashing .299/.325/.441. For some, the catcher position in fantasy is about finding someone who isn't going to hurt you, and Diaz offers that, particularly in batting average. His xBA was the exact same as his actual, and he has a career average of .291. It's possible that the 26-year-old could cross the 20-homer mark in 2025, but you should draft him for his average and RBI potential.
|
|
66.
Royce Lewis
3B,DH - MIN
Royce Lewis is the starting third baseman for Team Imagine If They'd Stay Healthy. He started Opening Day and went 2/2 with a double, home run, and pulled hamstring. Fifty-eight missed games later, he returned and tore up opposing pitching for 23 games before returning to the IL with an adductor strain. From there, he became a below-average hitter, forcing many fantasy managers to decide whether to hold or drop him. The allure of what he could do is too much for most. Chances are good Lewis will move to second base in 2025, which could reduce the wear and tear on him in the field. The power and speed are there (if he's allowed to attempt steals), but you MUST bake in missed time when you draft him. If the price drops far enough (say 9th or 10th round), he is an easy player to risk rostering, but it's hard to justify a cost much higher than that at this point.
|
|
67.
Ian Happ
LF - CHC
Ian Happ has settled into a reliable role for fantasy managers. He's a steady source of 20+ home runs and double-digit steals while maintaining a high walk rate that helps him score around 90 runs. Though his strikeout rate spiked in 2024, the strength of the Cubs' lineup still makes him a solid OF3 option in fantasy leagues.
|
|
68.
Willson Contreras
C,DH - STL
Willson Contreras had a truncated but productive 2024 season for the Cardinals, posting a .262 batting average with 15 home runs, 36 RBIs, and 48 runs scored over 84 games. His .380 on-base percentage and .468 slugging percentage contributed to an impressive .848 OPS. A fractured left forearm sustained on May 7 limited his playing time, but his .370 wOBA and .365 xwOBA continue to make him an excellent fantasy catcher.
|
|
69.
Randy Arozarena
LF - SEA
Randy Arozarena's 20/20 season last year was far from inspiring. His strikeout rate, already high at 23.9%, climbed to 26.1%, while his walk rate dipped from 11.3%. On top of that, his Barrel % fell significantly from 12.3% to 8.3%, contributing to a disappointing .219/.332/.388 slash line. His overall production suffered as well, with just 77 runs scored and 60 RBIs. To make matters worse for fantasy managers, Arozarena now plays in Seattle-a team with one of the league's weakest lineups and a notoriously pitcher-friendly ballpark. Don't let his name recognition push you into drafting him too early; he profiles more realistically as a low-end OF3 or even an OF4.
|
|
70.
Ezequiel Tovar
SS - COL
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.
|

71.
Christian Yelich
LF,DH - MIL
Christian Yelich was in the midst of a resurgent season before back issues resurfaced. In 73 games, he posted 11 home runs, 21 stolen bases, 44 runs, and 42 RBIs while slashing an impressive .315/.406/.504-flashing glimpses of his peak form. However, the key number here is 73 games. After two consecutive seasons of surpassing 140 games played, he logged the fewest of his career outside of the shortened 2020 season. As 2025 approaches, fantasy managers should closely monitor his health updates out of Milwaukee. At 32 years old, Yelich carries significant risk, so if you draft him, be sure to have a reliable contingency plan in place.
|
|
72.
Jake Burger
1B,3B,DH - TEX
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.
|
|
73.
Mike Trout
CF - LAA
Mike Trout has firmly landed in the "What if?" category for both fantasy and real-life baseball. He started the 2024 season looking like his old self, tearing through the first 29 games with 10 home runs and six stolen bases. Then, just like that, his season ended due to a knee injury, leaving fantasy managers who took a mid-round chance on him wondering what could have been. Now, he carries nearly every durability concern possible heading into 2025. Before drafting him, consider that he hasn't reached 500 plate appearances in a season since 2019. While his production when healthy remains elite, in head-to-head leagues, missing significant time can sink your chances. The move to RF should help him stay healthy, but that's a heavy dice to roll. There's still a point where he becomes worth the gamble, but for the first time in his career, that might not come until the double-digit rounds.
|
|
74.
Matt Chapman
3B - SF
Matt Chapman delivered a solid fantasy performance in 2024, hitting 27 home runs, driving in 78 runs, scoring 98 times, and adding 15 stolen bases. His .247/.328/.463 slash line aligns closely with his career .238 batting average. Chapman's power metrics are robust, evidenced by an average exit velocity of 93.2 mph and a 12.6% barrel rate, placing him in the 97th percentile for exit velocity. Notably, he reduced his strikeout rate to 24.4%, the lowest since his rookie season. At 31, Chapman's consistent power and defensive wizardry-highlighted by his fifth Gold Glove award in 2024-make him a valuable third baseman in fantasy leagues.
|
|
75.
Will Smith
C - LAD
Will Smith delivered a decent fantasy performance in 2024, playing in 128 games and posting a .248/.327/.433 slash line with 20 home runs, 75 RBIs, and 77 runs scored. While his batting average dipped below his career mark of .258, his power remained consistent, supported by a 10.8% barrel rate and a .334 expected wOBA (xwOBA). While his strikeout rate and walk rate both went in the wrong direction, Smith fits in the "Draft the Dodgers" philosophy and is still a top-catching option.
|
|
76.
Bo Bichette
SS - TOR
Bo Bichette's 2024 season was marred by injuries, limiting him to 81 games and resulting in a career-low .225/.277/.322 slash line, with 4 home runs, 31 RBIs, and 5 stolen bases. These figures are a stark contrast to his career averages of a .290 batting average and an .798 OPS. Advanced metrics reveal a decline in his offensive performance, with a .264 wOBA and a .303 xwOBA, indicating diminished quality of contact. Despite the setbacks, Bichette's track record suggests potential for a rebound in 2025 and could be a steal at his current ADP.
|
|
77.
Steven Kwan
LF - CLE
Steven Kwan's 2024 season was shortened by injuries, restricting him to 122 games, but he remained highly productive when on the field. He took a step forward in power, launching 14 home runs while scoring 83 runs as a key piece atop Cleveland's lineup. Fantasy managers drafting the 27-year-old will be looking for a repeat of his stellar .292/.368/.425 slash line. While he may not be the flashiest player, Kwan's disciplined approach-rarely striking out or chasing bad pitches-makes him a model of consistency at the plate.
|
|
78.
Adolis Garcia
RF,DH - TEX
Adolis García followed up his stellar 2023 campaign with a noticeable decline in production. His home run total dipped from 39 to 25, and his runs and RBIs took a hit as well, in part due to injuries within the Texas lineup. Looking ahead to 2025, projections suggest he'll post around 30 homers, 75 runs, and 90 RBIs-solid numbers for a third outfielder in fantasy. At this point, his 39-homer, 108-run, 107-RBI season appears to be the exception rather than the norm.

79.
Anthony Volpe
SS - NYY
Anthony Volpe's 2024 season showcased his development as a dynamic player for the New York Yankees. Over 160 games, he posted a .243 batting average with 12 home runs, 60 RBIs, 90 runs scored, and an impressive 28 stolen bases. On the downside, his .293 on-base percentage and .364 slugging percentage resulted in a .657 OPS. Heading into his third year, Volpe's fantasy value is tied to improved plate discipline and speed. Fantasy managers should avoid having him as their SS1, but he can fill a MI spot if he falls in the draft.

Spencer Steer
1B,LF - CIN
Spencer Steer remained a valuable multi-position asset in fantasy baseball during 2024, though his batting average took a notable dip from .271 to .225. Despite the decline, the 26-year-old showcased power and speed, launching 20 home runs and swiping 25 bases-an increase of 10 steals from the previous season. Playing half his games in Cincinnati should help sustain his power output, and hitting in a solid lineup will support his counting stats. While some batting average rebound is possible, expecting him to return to .270 seems unrealistic; a more reasonable projection is around .240. His versatility adds appeal, but fantasy managers should be cautious not to overpay.

Dylan Crews
RF - WSH
Dylan Crews got his first taste of the majors and wasted no time making an impact-especially on the basepaths. The 22-year-old swiped 12 bases in 31 games while adding three home runs and posting a .218/.288/.353 slash line. If you're targeting Crews in drafts, it's likely for his speed, which could push him toward 25 steals, with some potential for modest power. His overall slash line may not see a drastic improvement, but it should be serviceable. As with others in the "rookies with upside" tier, avoid overpaying, but he offers a baseline OF4 value in 2025.

82.
Luis Garcia
2B - WSH
Luis García Jr. emerged as a key contributor for the Washington Nationals in 2024, delivering a solid fantasy season. Over 140 games, he posted a .282 batting average, hitting 18 home runs, driving in 70 runs, scoring 58 times, and adding 22 stolen bases. His .282/.318/.444 slash line marked a notable improvement over his career .270 average. However, he had a walk rate of just 5.1% and a strikeout rate of 16.3%. The power may regress in 2025, but if his contact rate remains high, he offers good production at the wasteland that is second base.

83.
Brice Turang
2B - MIL
Brice Turang delivered a multifaceted performance in 2024, showcasing his speed and defensive prowess. Over 155 games, he posted a .254 batting average with 7 home runs, 57 RBIs, and 72 runs scored. Notably, Turang excelled on the basepaths, swiping 50 bases, ranking third in the National League. While Turang's .254/.316/.349 slash line marked an improvement from his 2023 figures, his offensive metrics remained below league average, reflected in his 85 OPS+. However, his reduced strikeout rate-from 21% in 2023 to 16.6% in 2024-and increased walk rate to 9.2% indicate a more disciplined approach at the plate. Despite these gains, Turang's .349 slugging percentage suggests limited power, with only 7 home runs and a hard-hit rate of 29.7%. If he can build upon his improved plate discipline and tap into more power, he has the potential to become a more well-rounded offensive contributor, complementing his already stellar defense and base-running skills.

Nick Castellanos
RF - PHI
Nick Castellanos struggled mightily through the first two months of last season, leaving fantasy managers questioning his value. His batting average plummeted to uncharacteristically low levels, a stark contrast to his typically strong starts. By May, many deemed him droppable, a surprising turn for the usually reliable 32-year-old. Fortunately, Castellanos found his stride as the season progressed, performing more like the player managers anticipated on draft day. Heading into this year, he projects as a solid OF3/OF4 option in the Phillies' lineup, with the potential to deliver even more if he can recapture his usual hot start.

85.
Brandon Nimmo
LF,CF - NYM
Brandon Nimmo had established himself as a dependable fantasy outfielder, but his 2024 season was a mixed bag. Most notably, his typically steady batting average took a significant hit, dropping to .224 after back-to-back seasons at .274. While his expected batting average (.247) suggested some improvement, it was still below expectations for fantasy managers. On the positive side, Nimmo maintained his power with 23 home runs and significantly increased his stolen base total from three to 15, a welcome boost for those who stuck with him. He also contributed 90 RBI and 88 runs, helping to counterbalance his career-worst .327 OBP. However, his xwOBACON (.390) indicates that his struggles may have been an outlier, making him a strong candidate to bounce back as a reliable OF3/OF4 option in 2025.
|
|
86.
Xander Bogaerts
2B,SS - SD
Xander Bogaerts continued his struggles in 2024, appearing in only 111 games after switching from shortstop to second base. The 32-year-old hit 11 home runs and stole 13 bases while slashing .264/.307/.381. Bogaerts has seen his power sapped since arriving in San Diego, and there is some question whether or not the power will return, especially as his age creeps up. There was some hope toward the end of the season as Bogaerts hit .292 in the second half. If his health can hold up to more than 111 games, he does offer a solid batting average, but the guy we knew in Boston may be gone at this point.

87.
Shea Langeliers
C - ATH
Shea Langeliers showcased significant power during the 2024 season, hitting 29 home runs and driving in 80 runs over 137 games. His .224/.288/.450 slash line reflects a modest improvement from his previous seasons, though his batting average remains below league average. Notably, Langeliers' power appears sustainable, as evidenced by a .456 xSLG and a 12.8% Barrel Rate, placing him in the 87th percentile. He also reduced his strikeout rate to 27.2%, down from 29.2% in 2023, indicating progress in plate discipline. As the Athletics transition to Sutter Health Park in Sacramento, a venue that could favor hitters-Langeliers' power numbers, could see an uptick in 2025. His eligibility at catcher enhances his fantasy value, making him a compelling option for those seeking power at the position.
|

88.
Pete Crow-Armstrong
CF - CHC
Top prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong finally got an extended opportunity in Chicago, showcasing his speed and power with 10 home runs and 27 stolen bases. His .237 batting average left room for improvement, but his minor league track record suggests he can take a step forward in his second full season. While his xwOBA (.281) and Statcast metrics indicate he won't be an on-base standout, his elite 99th-percentile speed makes him a viable OF3 option for fantasy managers.
|
|
89.
Jasson Dominguez
LF - NYY
Jasson Dominguez may feel like a longtime prospect, but he's still just 21 years old and has dominated Triple-A pitching whenever he's been there. With the potential to deliver consistent 20/20 production, he offers plenty of fantasy upside heading into 2025. The Yankees' offense struggled in 2024, creating a clear opportunity for Dominguez to carve out a role. While his talent is undeniable, it's wise to expect some rookie growing pains along the way.
|

Colton Cowser
LF,CF,RF - BAL
Colton Cowser's rookie campaign showcased more power than many expected, as he belted 24 home runs and swiped nine bases while posting a .242/.321/.447 slash line. His 30.7% strikeout rate and 9.3% walk rate highlight areas for improvement, but hitting in a strong Baltimore lineup could help him build on last season's 77 runs and 69 RBIs. At 24 years old, Cowser still has untapped potential and should remain a valuable fantasy option in 2025.
|
|
91.
Paul Goldschmidt
1B - NYY
Paul Goldschmidt experienced a challenging 2024 season, posting a .245/.302/.414 slash line with 22 home runs, 65 RBIs, 70 runs scored, and 11 stolen bases over 154 games. These numbers marked a decline from his career averages of a .289 batting average and a .384 on-base percentage. A significant factor in Goldschmidt's downturn was his increased strikeout rate, which rose to a career-high 26.5% in 2024, up from 23.4% in 2023. Concurrently, his walk rate dropped to a career-low 7.2%, contributing to a diminished on-base percentage. Despite these struggles, Goldschmidt maintained a hard-hit rate of 40%, ranking 15th among qualified hitters, and an average exit velocity of 91.2 mph. At 37 years old, Goldschmidt's ability to rebound in 2025 is questionable, though the change to Yankee Stadium is definitely a positive.
|
|
92.
Masyn Winn
SS - STL
Masyn Winn showcased his potential during the 2024 season. Over 150 games, he posted a .267 batting average, hitting 15 home runs, driving in 57 runs, scoring 85 times, and stealing 11 bases. His .267/.314/.416 slash line aligns closely with his minor league career averages. Winn's power metrics, including an average exit velocity of 87 mph and a 3.7% barrel rate, indicate room for growth in his power-hitting capabilities. Notably, his 17.1% strikeout rate reflects strong contact skills for a player in his early 20s. Defensively, Winn excelled at shortstop, contributing 14 defensive runs saved, which underscores his value to the Cardinals. Given his age and athleticism, there's potential for increased power and stolen bases in the upcoming seasons, making him a promising asset for fantasy rosters.
|
|
93.
Eugenio Suarez
3B - ARI
Eugenio Suarez delivered a strong fantasy performance in 2024, hitting 30 home runs, driving in 101 runs, scoring 90 times, and adding 2 stolen bases. His .256/.319/.469 slash line aligns closely with his career .248 batting average. Suarez's power is supported by an 11.3% Barrel Rate and a .469 SLG, though his 27.5% strikeout rate remains a concern. At 33, Suarez will probably offer solid overall stats, but fantasy managers will probably need to ride out extreme ups and downs throughout the season.
|
|
94.
Alec Bohm
3B - PHI
Alec Bohm delivered a solid fantasy performance in 2024, recording 15 home runs, 97 RBIs, 62 runs scored, and five stolen bases over 143 games. His .280/.332/.448 slash line marked a slight improvement over his career .277 batting average. Bohm's season began impressively, with a .370 batting average and four home runs in April. However, his production declined in the second half, partly due to a left hand injury that sidelined him for 14 games. Statcast metrics reveal a mixed profile: an average exit velocity of 90.4 mph and a 45.6% hard-hit rate suggest solid contact, but a 6.8% barrel rate indicates limited elite power. His 17.4% strikeout rate reflects good plate discipline, though his 4.9% walk rate remains below league average. He is a fine option for a CI spot, but be prepared for the peaks and valleys that come along with him.
|
|
95.
Logan O'Hoppe
C - LAA
Logan O'Hoppe delivered a solid fantasy season in 2024, hitting 20 home runs, driving in 56 runs, scoring 64 times, and adding two stolen bases, with a .244/.303/.409 slash line. O'Hoppe's power appears sustainable, supported by a 12% barrel rate and a 90.4 mph average exit velocity, both of which are above league average. However, his 29.7% strikeout rate is a concern. At 25 years old, there's room for improvement in plate discipline. If he can reduce his strikeouts, O'Hoppe has the potential to increase his batting average and become a more valuable fantasy player, but at the catching position, he is a Top 10 choice.
|
|
96.
Jeremy Pena
SS - HOU
Jeremy Peña delivered a solid fantasy season in 2024, compiling 15 home runs, 70 RBIs, 78 runs scored, and 20 stolen bases over 602 at-bats. His .266/.308/.394 slash line aligns closely with his career averages and his 17.1% strikeout rate marked a significant improvement from previous seasons. However, Pena's 3.8% walk rate remains low, potentially limiting his on-base potential. With elite sprint speed in the 97th percentile, his stolen base contributions are likely to continue. As he enters his age-27 season, Peña's consistent production and speed make him a good choice for your SS or MI slots.
|
|
97.
Josh Lowe
RF - TB
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.
|
|
98.
Jurickson Profar
LF - ATL
In 2024, Jurickson Profar set new career highs in home runs (24), runs (94), RBI (85), and batting average (.280). He tied his career high in stolen bases with 10. He signed with the Braves in the offseason, surrounding him with a solid lineup, but it will be important to temper expectations for the 31-year-old. Twenty homers is still on the table, but the batting average will drop back to the .250s, though the counting stats should remain high, assuming the Braves don't suffer the same injury bug they had last season. Draft him as nothing more than an OF4.
|
|
99.
J.T. Realmuto
C - PHI
J.T. Realmuto's 2024 season saw a slight decline in offensive production, as he posted a .266/.322/.429 slash line with 14 home runs, 47 RBIs, 50 runs scored, and 2 stolen bases over 380 at-bats. His average exit velocity was 89.2 mph, with a hard-hit rate of 46.6% and a barrel rate of 10.4%. At 33, it's uncertain if he can rebound to his previous elite form. Despite the downturn, Realmuto's track record and defensive prowess keep him relevant in fantasy baseball, but managers should temper expectations and monitor his performance closely in the upcoming season.

Zach Neto
SS - LAA
Zach Neto emerged as a dynamic fantasy asset in 2024, showcasing a rare blend of power and speed. Over 155 games, he posted a .249/.318/.443 slash line, with 23 home runs, 77 RBIs, 70 runs scored, and an impressive 30 stolen bases. Notably, Neto became only the third player in Angels history to achieve at least 20 home runs, 30 doubles, and 30 stolen bases in a single season. While his .249 batting average aligns with his career mark of .241, his underlying metrics suggest room for growth. Neto's average exit velocity stood at 89.2 mph, and his barrel rate was 8.9%, both indicating solid contact quality. However, his 24.7% strikeout rate, coupled with a modest 5.1% walk rate, highlights areas for potential improvement in plate discipline. Fantasy managers should note that Neto underwent right shoulder surgery in early November 2024, following an injury sustained on September 26. As a result, he is expected to miss the start of the 2025 season, with a return anticipated between one week to a month after Opening Day. Once he returns to full health, Neto's combination of power and speed, along with his everyday role in the Angels' lineup, should make him a valuable contributor in fantasy formats.

102.
Xavier Edwards
SS - MIA
Xavier Edwards emerged as a dynamic contributor for the Miami Marlins in 2024, boasting a .328 batting average over 265 at-bats, with 1 home run, 26 RBIs, 39 runs scored, and an impressive 31 stolen bases. While his .398 batting average on balls in play (BABIP) suggests potential regression, Edwards' consistent hard contact and speed may help sustain a high average. His low 1.4% barrel rate and 23.0% fly-ball rate indicate limited home run potential, but his ability to spray the ball to all fields and capitalize on his speed should continue to yield extra-base hits. If Edwards maintains his contact rate and on-base skills, he could be a valuable asset for runs scored and stolen bases.
|
|
103.
Isaac Paredes
3B - HOU
Isaac Paredes delivered a solid fantasy performance in 2024, hitting 19 home runs, driving in 80 runs, and scoring 64 times across 153 games split between the Tampa Bay Rays and Chicago Cubs. His .238/.346/.393 slash line remained in line with 2023's numbers. Paredes's average exit velocity of 85 mph and a 27.1% hard-hit rate suggest some caution regarding drafting him for potential power. A 16.4% strikeout rate aligns with his career norms, but his 11.9% walk rate indicates a keen eye at the plate. The Astros' Minute Maid Park, with its short left-field porch, should complement Paredes' pull-heavy approach, potentially boosting his home run totals.
|
|
104.
Lane Thomas
CF,RF - CLE
Lane Thomas saw a dip in power from his 2023 campaign, but he compensated with speed, swiping 32 bases while still delivering 15 home runs. Slated to hit in the heart of Cleveland's lineup, he has the potential to reach a 20-homer, 25-steal season. That combination makes him a valuable target in AL-only and deeper mixed leagues.
|
|
105.
Tyler O'Neill
LF,RF - BAL
Tyler O'Neill offers a clear tradeoff: elite power with plenty of strikeouts. In 2024, he showcased his home run potential by launching 31 long balls over 113 games for the Red Sox while tallying 61 RBIs, 74 runs, and a .241/.336/.511 slash line. His production was reminiscent of his breakout 2021 season. Now with Baltimore and its strong lineup, he has a strong chance to deliver similar results in 2025.
|
|
106.
Taylor Ward
LF - LAA
Taylor Ward has the potential to hit 25 home runs in 2025 if he stays healthy, offering solid counting stats depending on how often he gets to bat alongside Mike Trout. The challenge with Ward is his streaky production-he'll go on a tear for a month (March/April: 7 HR, 19 R, 23 RBI, .273 BA-coincidentally, the same time Trout was healthy) before hitting a rough patch, only to rebound later. If you're willing to weather the ups and downs, he's a viable OF4 option.
|
|
107.
Andres Gimenez
2B - TOR
Andrés Giménez struggled during the 2024 season, recording a .252 batting average with nine home runs, 63 RBIs, 64 runs scored, and an impressive 30 stolen bases. While his batting average dipped from his 2022 peak of .297, his speed on the basepaths remained a significant asset. Gimenez's offensive metrics, such as a .638 OPS and a career-low .340 slugging percentage, made fantasy managers regret their high pick. His hard-hit rate declined to 27.0%, down from 37.8% in 2022. Now with the Blue Jays, Gimenez has entered that tier of infielders offering stolen bases and would go much lower in drafts if he was not a second baseman.
|
|
108.
Nico Hoerner
2B - CHC
Nico Hoerner delivered a solid fantasy season in 2024, recording seven home runs, 48 RBIs, 86 runs scored, and 31 stolen bases over 151 games. His .273/.335/.373 slash line aligns closely with his career .278 batting average, suggesting a sustainable performance. While Hoerner's power metrics, such as a 1.2% Barrel Rate and an average exit velocity of 85.7 mph, indicate limited home run potential, his elite contact skills are evident in his 12.1% strikeout rate, ranking eighth-lowest among qualified hitters. An October surgery to repair a flexor tendon in his right forearm may impact his availability for the start of the 2025 season. Fantasy managers should monitor his recovery closely, as his speed and contact skills make him a valuable second baseman when healthy.
|
|
109.
Yandy Diaz
1B,DH - TB
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.
|

110.
Francisco Alvarez
C - NYM
Francisco Alvarez's 2024 season with the New York Mets was marked by both challenges and resilience. Despite a mid-season thumb injury that sidelined him for seven weeks, Álvarez managed to play in 100 games, posting a .237 batting average with 11 home runs, 47 RBIs, and 39 runs scored. Alvarez's average exit velocity stood at 88.8 mph, with a hard-hit rate of 42% and a barrel rate of 6.7%. He has a lot of upside at a difficult position to fill, but fantasy managers will have to brace for his low batting average.
|
|
111.
Tyler Stephenson
C - CIN
Tyler Stephenson rebounded in 2024, delivering a decent fantasy season with 19 home runs, 66 RBIs, 69 runs scored, and a .258/.338/.444 slash line over 138 games. This performance marked a significant improvement from his injury-plagued 2022 and a down year in 2023. Stephenson led all National League catchers with 127 games behind the plate, starting 112, and his 1,001 innings caught were the most by a Reds catcher since 1993. At 28, Stephenson is entering his prime, and with the Reds' offense showing potential, he could see an uptick in counting stats. His dual eligibility at catcher and first base enhances his fantasy appeal for 2025.
|
|
112.
Kerry Carpenter
RF,DH - DET
Kerry Carpenter excels at getting on base, evidenced by his solid .379 xwOBA, and he has the power to approach 20 home runs. With Detroit's lineup showing promise, the 27-year-old is a solid mid-round pick to help fill out your fantasy outfield.
|
|
113.
Bryson Stott
2B - PHI
Bryson Stott took a step back in 2024 from his rookie campaign. He only hit 11 home runs and slashed an ugly .245/.315/.356 after promising numbers in 2023. Where Stott will help fantasy managers is in the stolen base category, as he upped his total from 31 to 32 last season. He is otherwise a fairly unexciting player whose position (2B) will keep him coming off draft boards earlier than what his numbers suggest.
|
|
114.
Heliot Ramos
LF,CF - SF
Heliot Ramos put together a solid rookie campaign for the Giants, posting 22 home runs, 72 RBIs, and a respectable .269/.322/.469 slash line. Encouragingly, his expected stats align well with these results, suggesting they're a fair benchmark for his 2025 outlook. As you round out your fantasy outfield later in drafts, Ramos offers a reliable floor heading into his second full MLB season.
|
|
115.
Lourdes Gurriel Jr.
LF - ARI
Lourdes Gurriel Jr. delivered a solid fantasy season in 2024, recording 18 home runs, 75 RBIs, 72 runs scored, and seven stolen bases over 133 games. His .279/.322/.435 slash line aligns closely with his career averages. Notably, Gurriel's 18.3% strikeout rate marked a career best, placing him in the 70th percentile among MLB hitters. However, his 5.2% walk rate remains below league average, potentially limiting his on-base percentage. As he enters his age-31 season, Gurriel is expected to maintain his role as Arizona's primary left fielder, offering consistent power and batting average contributions for fantasy managers.

116.
Luis Arraez
1B,2B,DH - SD
Luis Arraez continued his exceptional contact-hitting prowess in 2024, achieving a .314 batting average-the highest in the National League-and totaling 200 hits, including 32 doubles, three triples, and four home runs. He also contributed 46 RBIs, scored 83 runs, and stole nine bases over 150 games. Arráez's success stems from his elite bat-to-ball skills, reflected in his MLB-leading 4.3% strikeout rate and a 26.5% line drive percentage. However, his limited power (.392 slugging percentage) will always limit his fantasy value. He is best paired with a low-average slugger from an early round in order to find complementary pieces.
|
|
117.
Nolan Arenado
3B - STL
Nolan Arenado experienced a decline in his offensive production during the 2024 season, hitting 16 home runs, driving in 71 runs, and scoring 70 times over 152 games. His .272/.325/.394 slash line marked a downturn from his career averages, with his slugging percentage notably dropping below .400 for the first time since his rookie year. Advanced metrics further highlighted this regression; his average exit velocity decreased to 86.3 mph, and his barrel rate plummeted to 3.2%, both career lows. Projections suggest a modest rebound, with anticipated improvements in home runs and RBIs. However, at 34 years old, Arenado's age and recent performance trends may temper expectations, making him a more cautious consideration for fantasy rosters.
|
|
118.
Cedric Mullins II
CF - BAL
Cedric Mullins regained his speed in 2024, boosting his stolen base total from 19 to 32 while staying on the field for 147 games. He also provided some power, hitting 18 home runs, which aligns with his expected 2025 production. While the Orioles have a deep lineup, Mullins remains a viable option in deeper formats.
|
|
119.
George Springer
RF,DH - TOR
George Springer's biggest concern for fantasy managers is the lingering perception that he's still the player he was during his Astros days. However, at 35 years old, his skills are clearly on the decline. His stat line offers little upside-his home runs, runs, RBIs, and batting average have all dropped for three consecutive seasons, with his average plummeting to a career-low .220 in 2024. His offensive WAR even dipped into negative territory. At this stage, Springer is no more than an OF5, and fantasy managers would likely be better off targeting a player with greater potential.

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.

Jackson Holliday's 2024 rookie season with the Orioles showcased both his potential and areas for growth. In 60 games, he posted a .189 batting average, hitting 5 home runs, driving in 23 runs, scoring 28 times, and adding 4 stolen bases. His .255 on-base percentage and .311 slugging percentage resulted in a .566 OPS, both of which should improve in his sophomore season. He hit the ball hard with a 45.1 hard hit rate, but he will need better plate discipline (33.2% strikeout rate). At 21 years old, Holliday has plenty of upside while batting at the bottom of a good lineup.

Gleyber Torres delivered a solid fantasy performance in 2024, recording 15 home runs, 63 RBIs, 80 runs scored, and 4 stolen bases over 154 games. His .257/.330/.378 slash line aligns closely with his career average of .265. Advanced metrics indicate a slight decline in power, with a Barrel Rate of 6.3% and a Hard Hit percentage of 35.4%, both below his career averages. His strikeout rate increased to 20.5%, up from 14.6% in 2023. The move to Detroit from New York won't help his offensive output. He's a later round MI draft pick in 2025.

Alec Burleson
LF,RF,DH - STL
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.

Nathaniel Lowe
1B - WSH
Nathaniel Lowe had an average season in 2024, hitting 16 home runs, driving in 69 runs, and scoring 62 times over 486 at-bats. His .265/.361/.401 slash line aligns closely with his career averages. Lowe's power metrics were below average, however, including an average exit velocity of 88.9 mph and a 5.8% barrel rate. He remains a free-pass machine, sitting in the 97th percentile with a 12.6% walk rate. Following a December 2024 trade to the Washington Nationals, Lowe is poised to be a key contributor in their lineup for the 2025 season. In the fantasy realm, however, he remains a replacement-level option at 1B.

Ceddanne Rafaela
SS,CF - BOS
Ceddanne Rafaela brings a versatile skill set with contributions across multiple categories. He has the potential for around 15 homers and 20 steals, but his on-base percentage remains a concern (.274 OBP in 2024). With the improvements in the Red Sox lineup, Rafaela has the potential for boosts in the counting stats categories. He is an intriguing draft pick in 2025.

Ryan Mountcastle
1B - BAL
Ryan Mountcastle posted a .271/.308/.425 slash line, contributing 13 home runs, 30 doubles, 63 RBIs, and 54 runs scored in 124 games. Advanced metrics highlight Mountcastle's solid contact quality. He recorded an average exit velocity of 90.8 mph and a hard-hit rate of 45.2%. Mountcastle's strikeout rate remained a concern, as he fanned 114 times in 473 at-bats, resulting in a 24.1% strikeout rate. Mountcastle's consistent batting average and improved contact metrics suggest potential for increased power production, especially if he can adjust his launch angle. Addressing his strikeout rate will be crucial for maximizing his offensive contributions.

Michael Busch
1B - CHC
Michael Busch stepped into Chicago and became the everyday first baseman. He hit 21 bombs with 65 RBI and 73 runs scored. He had a respectable .775 OPS, and the biggest concern about him is that he may find himself in a platoon if his numbers versus lefties struggle. However, the playing time should be there in general, and the Cubs have a decent lineup ahead of him to boost his RBI numbers. Looking forward, Busch is in a good position to take another step forward in 2025 and is a good late-draft power option.

Jonathan India
2B - KC
Jonathan India delivered a solid fantasy performance in 2024, recording 15 home runs, 58 RBIs, 84 runs scored, and 13 stolen bases. His .248/.357/.392 slash line aligns closely with his career numbers. India's power metrics, including a .412 xSLG and a 7.7% Barrel Rate, indicate potential for increased power output. Notably, he improved his plate discipline, achieving a career-high 12.6% walk rate and reducing his strikeout rate to 19.6%, both career bests. Following an offseason trade to the Kansas City Royals, India is expected to be a key contributor in their lineup and an excellent late-round option at 2B for those who wait.

Byron Buxton
CF - MIN
Fantasy managers are well aware of the "Byron Buxton dilemma"-draft him for his talent but be prepared for frequent IL stints. In 2024, he managed to play 102 games, surpassing 100 for the first time since 2017. He posted a solid .279/.335/.524 slash line with 18 home runs. While his walk rate remained low at 5.2%, he showed improvement by cutting his strikeout rate from 31.4% to 25.5%. Despite these positives, he remains a high-risk option best suited as an OF4 or OF5, and he shouldn't be drafted before the 20th round in standard leagues.

Rhys Hoskins
1B,DH - MIL
Rhys Hoskins returned to MLB action in 2024 after missing the entire 2023 season due to a torn ACL. In his comeback season with the Brewers, Hoskins posted a .214 batting average, hitting 26 home runs, driving in 82 runs, and scoring 59 times over 137 games. His .303 on-base percentage and .419 slugging percentage contributed to a .722 OPS, way below his career average of .827. Notably, his 12.7% barrel rate in 2024 suggests that his power potential remains intact. However, his 28.8% strikeout rate raises concerns about his contact skills. As he enters his age-32 season, maintaining health and improving plate discipline will be crucial for Hoskins to be a late-round valuable power hitter.

JJ Bleday
CF - ATH
JJ Bleday put together a respectable season for Oakland, belting 20 home runs while cutting his strikeout rate by four percentage points. While batting average won't be his strong suit, his power and run production could still make an impact. If Sacramento's ballpark proves hitter-friendly, a 20-homer, 75-RBI, 75-run campaign is a realistic expectation.

Nolan Jones
LF - COL
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.

Matt Shaw
2B,3B,SS - CHC
Matt Shaw should be the starting third baseman for the Cubs as soon as Opening Day, though the acquisition of Justin Turner may delay his arrival. However, there is everything to love about Shaw in fantasy. The 23-year-old hit 21 home runs and stole 31 bases across both Double-A and Triple-A last season. He has also maintained a high OBP at every level of the minors and demonstrated a strong hard-hit percentage across. Shaw is the type of prospect where expectations for a high floor right away seem reasonable. He is an excellent late round pick (currently going in the 23rd round).

Connor Norby
2B,3B - MIA
Connor Norby landed in Miami in one of the most perplexing trades of the season, and he demonstrated his potential power once he was there. Norby hit nine home runs and collected 20 RBI in only 36 games. However, he struck out at a 33.3% clip, which is what will most likely continue to suppress his batting average going forward. Norby's barrel rate will offer fantasy managers plenty of power, but it will come with some growing pains and more effect on your ratios than you may want. His cost is low enough, though, to take the chance in 2025.

Garrett Mitchell
CF,RF - MIL
Garrett Mitchell played in 69 games for the Brewers, showcasing encouraging production. He recorded eight home runs, swiped 11 bases, and maintained an impressive 11.2% walk rate. His slash line of .255/.342/.469 highlights his solid offensive contributions. Slated to be Milwaukee's starting center fielder, he'll hit behind Jackson Chourio and William Contreras, which could help boost his counting stats. Mitchell profiles as an OF5 with the potential to provide OF4 value.

Nolan Schanuel maintained a .250 batting average, hitting 13 home runs, driving in 54 runs, scoring 62 times, and adding 10 stolen bases. His .343 on-base percentage and .362 slugging percentage resulted in a .705 OPS, aligning closely with his expected metrics, as indicated by a .321 xwOBA. Schanuel's disciplined approach at the plate was evident with an 17.0% strikeout rate and a 11.2% walk rate. However, his power numbers were modest, reflected by a 3.5% barrel rate and an average exit velocity of 86.1 mph. As he enters his age-23 season, Schanuel's consistent contact skills and plate discipline suggest room for growth, particularly in developing his power, making him a player to watch in 2025.

He posted a .241/.324/.390 slash line, hitting 17 home runs, driving in 83 runs, scoring 72 times, and stealing five bases. At 31 years old, Cronenworth's skill set is well-established. His versatility across multiple infield positions enhances his value, but the stats themselves remain average.
