As we dive into the 2025 MLB season, the buzz around potential regression among players is heating up. With spring training in full swing, it's the perfect time to discuss which players might not live up to their previous performances.

Take a look at the Baltimore Orioles' Albert Suarez, who had a surprising breakout last season. Can he really replicate that success, or are we witnessing a classic case of a one-hit wonder? Similarly, Connor Wong of the Red Sox had a solid year, but with a strikeout rate that raises eyebrows, is he destined for a downturn?

And what about the Yankees' Luke Weaver? He was a key player in their bullpen, but with the short dimensions of Yankee Stadium, can he maintain his effectiveness? Or will the hard contact catch up to him this season?

On the flip side, we have players like Jack Flaherty from the Tigers, who finally seems healthy. Is this the year he returns to his former glory, or will injuries continue to plague his career?

Let’s not forget the aging veterans like Salvador Perez, who had a remarkable season last year. Can he defy Father Time once again, or is a decline inevitable?

I want to hear your thoughts! Which players do you think are most likely to regress this season? Are there any under-the-radar players you believe could surprise us? And how do you feel about the impact of player health and age on performance? Let’s get the conversation rolling!
