Joe Pisapia and Chris Welsh are back with their ultimate outfielder guide for the 2025 Fantasy Baseball season. They highlight fantasy baseball must-haves like James Wood, Wyatt Langford and Jasson Domínguez, and discuss whether Mike Trout’s ADP makes him a bargain or a trap. Plus, why Luis Robert Jr. to the Reds could shake up the fantasy landscape and how changes in Brandon Nimmo’s swing profile might impact his value.
Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleepers & Busts (Outfielders)
Evaluating Sleepers
-
Undervalued Veterans:
- Luis Robert: Once a top-tier fantasy name, he’s now trading at a discount. Despite recent struggles and potential team changes, his blend of power, speed, and youth (just 27 years old and only one season removed from a 38-homer year) makes him a prime late-round steal.
- Brandon Nimmo: Known for his on-base ability and intermittent power, Nimmo’s fluctuating stolen base and batting average numbers have led to undervaluation. However, with a potential upgraded role (especially if teammates like Pete Alonzo remain sidelined), he could see a significant bounce-back in production.
-
Former Top Prospects with a New Twist:
- Jurickson Profar: Once the top prospect in baseball for the Atlanta Braves, his recent power and bat-to-ball skill surge have pushed him into sleeper territory. With the Braves showing commitment to his development, he could break out and rise in value.
-
Rookie/Young Talent Sleepers:
- Dylan Crews: A rookie with the Nationals who combines low strikeout rates with aggressive baserunning. Projected as a potential lead-off hitter, his profile suggests he could produce across multiple categories.
- Jake McCarthy: Although projected outside the top 50, his tendency to put the ball in the air and aggressive base running indicates he could outperform his ADP—especially in stolen bases and batting average.
- Jordan Walker: At just 23, Walker’s elite minor-league slash line and recent swing adjustments point to a breakout candidate with both short-term upside and long-term potential.
