Brandon Lowe rebounded in 2025, earning an All-Star nod while clubbing 31 home runs across 134 games, his highest total since 2021. His underlying metrics remained strong — a 91.1 mph average exit velocity and 46.7% hard-hit rate supported a healthy 5.6% HR rate — but a declining 6.9% walk rate and 26.9% strikeout rate capped his OBP at .307 despite a career-best .297 BABIP. The 2026 projections forecast another 30-homer campaign with a batting average in the .245-.255 range, reinforcing his profile as a power-first middle infielder with limited speed. Given his restored durability and steady batted-ball quality, Lowe profiles as a fantasy riser, particularly in formats that reward power from the second base slot, though his batting-average volatility keeps him just shy of elite-tier stability.
