Notes
	Michael Busch has rapidly developed into one of fantasy's most reliable power bats, following a strong 2024 with a full-blown breakout in 2025 that featured 34 homers, a .523 slugging percentage, and a 147 OPS+. The jump in production wasn't empty volume. His rOBA and run value both spiked, confirming real growth in impact contact rather than a fluky power surge. While the strikeout rate remains elevated, Busch offsets it with solid on-base skills and elite durability, logging 150+ games in back-to-back seasons. At age 28, he's firmly established as a high-end fantasy first baseman whose profile now supports both a strong floor and a stable power ceiling. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
