The landscape of second basemen for the 2025 fantasy baseball season is shaping up to be one of the most unpredictable and intriguing in recent memory. With players like Mookie Betts and Ozzie Albies leading the charge, the tiers are a chaotic mix of potential bounce-backs and aging veterans.
Let’s dive into the conversation: Are we ready to trust Ozzie Albies again after his rollercoaster of a season? His injury history raises questions, but could he be poised for a comeback? Or are we better off avoiding the risk and looking at safer options like Ketel Marte, who had a surprising power surge last year?
Speaking of surprises, Ketel Marte’s 36 homers last season felt like a fever dream. Can he replicate that success, or was it just a one-off? And what about Jose Altuve? At what point do we start to worry about his decline? His hard-hit percentage is concerning, but can his counting stats still keep him relevant in our lineups?
Then there’s the younger talent like Jordan Westburg and Matt McLain. Are they the future stars we should be targeting in drafts? Westburg’s impressive Statcast numbers suggest he could be a hidden gem, but how much stock should we put into projections based on a limited sample size?
Let’s not forget about the potential of players like Andres Gimenez and Nico Hoerner, who could provide solid value later in drafts. Are they worth the gamble, or should we stick to the more established names?
Bold predictions time: Who do you think will emerge as the top second baseman in 2025? Will it be a familiar face, or will a breakout player steal the spotlight?
