As we gear up for the 2025 Fantasy Baseball season, the landscape is filled with intriguing players and bold predictions that could shape our drafts. Let's dive into some of the most compelling narratives and see where you stand.
First up, Wyatt Langford. After a rocky start to his rookie season, he turned it around in June, showcasing his potential with a 151 wRC+. With an ADP of 59, is he a steal in the fifth round, or are we overvaluing a small sample size? What are your thoughts on his 5-category potential?
Then there's Jackson Holliday, who had a disastrous 2024. Despite his struggles, he’s being drafted at 192 ADP. Is this a classic case of buying low on a former top prospect, or should we be cautious given his high strikeout rate?
Corey Seager remains one of the best pure hitters, yet his counting stats were underwhelming last year. Should we trust the underlying metrics, or is it time to look for alternatives at shortstop?
And what about Spencer Strider? Coming off Tommy John surgery, he’s being drafted as SP38. If he only misses a handful of starts, could he be a league-winner at that price? Or is the risk too high for a pitcher with such a recent injury history?
On the flip side, we have players like Jacob deGrom, who, despite his immense talent, has struggled to stay healthy. At SP17, is he worth the risk, or should we steer clear and look for more reliable options?
Lastly, let’s not forget Shohei Ohtani. If you have the first overall pick, is there any debate here? With his dual-threat ability, is he the safest pick in fantasy baseball history, or do you see a case for someone else?
These are just a few of the hot topics as we prepare for the draft. What are your bold predictions for the upcoming season? Who are you targeting, and who are you avoiding? Let’s hear your thoughts!
