Hidden Gems: Uncovering Late Round Middle Infield Steals for Your 2025 Draft 

As we dive deeper into draft season, the middle infield landscape is shaping up to be quite intriguing. With shortstops dominating the early rounds and second basemen lagging behind, it raises some interesting questions about strategy. Are you prioritizing a top-tier shortstop, or are you willing to wait and snag a potential gem later in the draft?

Let’s talk about the trends we’re seeing. With a third of the top 15 hitters being shortstops, it’s clear that the position is loaded with talent. But does this mean we should be cautious about overvaluing them? Are we potentially missing out on value at second base by focusing too heavily on shortstop?

Consider this: if you’re in a deeper league, the strategy might shift entirely. Are you willing to take a risk on a lesser-known second baseman who could outperform expectations? Or do you think the gap between the top shortstops and the rest is too significant to ignore?

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this! What’s your approach to drafting middle infielders this year? Are there any late-round targets you have your eye on? And for those who have already drafted, how did your strategy play out? Let’s get the conversation rolling!
