As we dive into the 2025 fantasy baseball season, the first base position is shaping up to be a hot topic of debate. With the rankings recently released, it’s clear that the landscape is shifting, and the glory days of elite first basemen may be behind us.
Let’s talk about Vladimir Guerrero Jr. He’s being touted as a potential top-three pick, and for good reason. His Statcast numbers are off the charts, and he’s motivated to earn a big payday. But can he truly deliver on that promise? Is he the only first baseman worth reaching for in the early rounds, or are there hidden gems later in the draft that could rival his production?
Speaking of hidden gems, Vinnie Pasquantino is generating buzz as a breakout candidate. After a rocky start due to injuries, he showed flashes of brilliance in the second half of last season. Could he be the steal of the draft if he falls to pick 100? Or are we setting ourselves up for disappointment by banking on a player with such a checkered injury history?
Then there’s the case of Cody Bellinger. Moving to Yankee Stadium could be a game-changer for him, but can we trust his health and consistency? Is he worth the risk, or should we steer clear of players with such a high injury potential?
And what about the veterans like Freddie Freeman? At 35, is he still a reliable option, or is it time to let go of the past and focus on younger talent?
Let’s not forget about the intriguing prospects like Triston Casas and Ryan Mountcastle, who could surprise us this season. Are they worth a late-round flier, or should we be cautious given their inconsistencies?
I want to hear your thoughts! Who are you targeting at first base this season? Are there any players you think are being overlooked? Let’s get the conversation rolling and see who emerges as the must-have first baseman for 2025!
