Nico Hoerner quietly delivered his best all-around season in 2025, pairing a career-high offensive impact (114 OPS+, 118 Rbat+) with elite contact skills and Gold Glove-caliber defense. His strikeout rate dipped to an excellent 7.6% while maintaining above-average run production and efficiency on the bases, reinforcing his high-floor fantasy profile. The 2026 projections largely stabilize his output rather than build in upside, but his strong plate skills and secure everyday role keep him valuable in batting average, runs, and steals. Entering a contract year, Hoerner has added motivation to sustain peak performance, even if his limited power caps category ceiling.
