Fantasy Baseball Player Notes

Isaac Paredes followed up his 2023 breakout with another strong season in 2025, slashing .254/.352/.458 with 20 home runs and a 123 OPS+ in his first year with Houston. While the raw power dipped slightly from its peak, his elite plate discipline and pull-side power remained intact, keeping his rOBA and Rbat+ well above league average. The move to a strong lineup context helped stabilize his counting stats, reinforcing his profile as a reliable corner-infield bat rather than a fluky breakout. FantasyPros 2026 projections continue to view Paredes as a high-floor option with 25-homer upside, making him a steady fantasy contributor even if he no longer carries surprise-star appeal.
