Rafael Devers has been a hot topic in the fantasy baseball community, and with the 2025 season approaching, it's time to dive deep into his projections and what they mean for our fantasy teams. The numbers are intriguing yet raise some serious questions about his value moving forward.
Steamer has him projected for 93 runs, 31 home runs, and 92 RBIs with a .270 batting average over 560 at-bats. Meanwhile, FanGraphs is slightly more optimistic, projecting 97 runs, 32 home runs, and 100 RBIs with a similar batting average. But here's the kicker: last year, Devers posted 87 runs, 28 home runs, and 83 RBIs with a .272 average in 525 at-bats. His second half was particularly concerning, with a drop to 25 runs, 5 home runs, and a .244 average in 209 at-bats.
So, is Devers becoming the next Ty France? Are we witnessing a decline in his performance, or was last season just a blip on the radar due to injury? With the uncertainty surrounding his shoulder, how much faith can we put in his projections?
Let’s spark a debate: What are your bold predictions for Devers in 2025? Do you think he can bounce back to his previous form, or is it time to consider him overrated? How do you weigh his potential against the risk of injury and declining performance?
