As we dive into the 2025 Fantasy Baseball season, the landscape of first basemen is looking a bit shaky. With the glory days of elite first basemen seemingly behind us, it begs the question: who will rise to the occasion this year?
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is being touted as a potential top-three pick, and for good reason. His elite Statcast numbers and motivation to secure a big payday could lead to a monster season. But can he truly outshine the competition, or is he just another overhyped player waiting to disappoint?
Then there's Bryce Harper, who seems to be defying the odds of decline. Is he still a first-round talent, or are we witnessing the beginning of the end for him? And what about Freddie Freeman? At 35, is he worth the risk, or should we steer clear of aging stars?
On the flip side, we have intriguing breakout candidates like Vinnie Pasquantino and Jake Burger. Pasquantino's second-half surge last season has many excited, but can he maintain that momentum? And Burger, now in Texas, could be primed for a power explosion. Are you willing to take a chance on these potential gems, or do you prefer the safety of established names?
Let’s not forget the wild cards like Cody Bellinger and Josh Naylor. Bellinger’s move to Yankee Stadium could be a game-changer, but can he stay healthy long enough to make an impact? Naylor’s new home in Arizona has some buzzing, but is he really a reliable option?
As we prepare for drafts, I want to hear your thoughts. Who are you targeting at first base this season? Are there any players you believe are being undervalued or overhyped? What bold predictions do you have for the first basemen in 2025? Let’s get the conversation rolling!
