As we gear up for the 2025 fantasy baseball season, the late rounds of your draft can be a treasure trove of hidden gems. I recently came across a list of ten hitters going after pick 300 who could provide significant value. This got me thinking: how do we identify these potential breakout players, and what strategies do you employ to maximize your late-round picks?

Take Ryan McMahon, for instance. Consistency at third base is hard to come by, yet he’s often overlooked. With his track record of homers and games played, is he the safest bet among late-round options? Or do you prefer to gamble on players like Pavin Smith, who showed flashes of power last season? His metrics suggest he could be on the verge of a breakout, but can we trust that small sample size?

Then there’s Trevor Larnach, who has been a tantalizing prospect for years. With improvements in his strikeout rate and a solid lineup spot, could this finally be the year he puts it all together? Or is he destined to remain a player of intrigue without the production to match?

And what about the likes of Jo Adell and Carlos Santana? Adell’s potential for a 25/20 season is enticing, but can we overlook his struggles? Meanwhile, Santana’s return to Cleveland could be a narrative-driven resurgence, but is he worth the risk in a league where he’s currently undrafted?

I’d love to hear your thoughts on these players and any others you’re targeting late in drafts. What criteria do you use to evaluate these late-round picks? Are you more inclined to go for consistency, upside, or a mix of both? Let’s dive into the strategies that can make or break our fantasy seasons!
