As we dive into the 2025 fantasy baseball season, the conversation around prospect evaluation is heating up, especially with the recent episode of the Beat the Shift Podcast featuring James Anderson. One of the key takeaways was the disconnect between projections and actual prospect performance. This raises some intriguing questions for us fantasy enthusiasts.
How do you personally value prospects in your drafts? Are you more inclined to trust the projections, or do you lean on your own scouting and gut feelings? With so many variables at play, including organizational depth and player development, it can be a gamble.
Moreover, what skills do you believe are most translatable from the minors to the majors? Is it power, plate discipline, or perhaps defensive prowess? And when it comes to dynasty leagues, how do you approach ranking these prospects?
Let’s not forget the impact of injuries on prospect timelines. With injury updates being a constant in our fantasy lives, how do you adjust your rankings and expectations for players who are recovering?
I’d love to hear your bold predictions for breakout prospects in 2025. Who do you think will exceed expectations and make a significant impact this season?
