As we gear up for the 2025 fantasy baseball season, the first base position is shaping up to be a treasure trove of talent and potential. With established stars like Bryce Harper and Salvador Perez now eligible at first base, the depth of this position is undeniable. But amidst the big names, there are some intriguing late-round options that could turn the tide in your favor come draft day.
Take Michael Toglia, for instance. With an ADP of 183.11, he’s coming off a season where he hit 25 home runs in just 116 games. His underlying metrics are eye-popping, suggesting that he could be on the verge of a breakout. If he can improve his whiff rate, could we be looking at a 35-home run season?
Then there's Yandy Díaz, who has consistently hit above .280 and is now playing in a park that mimics the dimensions of Yankee Stadium. Could this be the year he finally taps into his power potential?
And let’s not forget about Alec Burleson, who had a solid 2024 and is projected to hit second in a revamped Cardinals lineup. With a low strikeout rate and a high squared-up rate, is he poised for a breakout season as well?
What are your thoughts on these players? Do you believe in Toglia's breakout potential, or do you think Díaz will finally unleash his power? Are there any other first basemen you’re eyeing in the later rounds? Let’s discuss our bold predictions and strategies for navigating this deep position!
