Fantasy Impact

Pauley stepped in for Connor Norby at third base in 2025 while Norby dealt with multiple injuries. Pauley ended up playing 62 games, finishing with a .224/.311/.366 slash line and excelling defensively, recording six outs above average, tied for fifth-most among MLB third basemen. The right-handed-hitting Norby and left-handed-hitting Pauley could form a platoon if neither distinguishes himself during spring training or early in the season.
