2025 Fantasy Baseball Draft Notes

Gunnar Henderson Note

Gunnar Henderson made the most of his second full season in the majors. He hit 37 home runs, scored 118 runs, drove in 92, and stole 21 bases. Perhaps most impressively, his batting average jumped to .281 from .255 the year before. He sits in the 97th percentile of hard-hit rate (53.9%), and the rest of his batting profile suggests more of 2024 to come. He dropped his K% from 25.6 to 22.1 and raised his walk rate to 10.8 from 9.0, which is exactly the type of growth you hope to see in a player's second year. Still just 23 years old, Henderson is a first-round talent whose Steamer projections align with what we saw last season. Even though the shortstop position is deep, Gunnar is in that top-5 echelon and worth the high investment.

Adley Rutschman Note

Adley Rutschman took a step back in 2024 compared to his stellar 2023 season. The 26-year-old appeared in 148 games, serving as the designated hitter in 45 of them, and slashed a disappointing .250/.318/.391. He hit 19 home runs, driving in 79 and scoring 68. His numbers in the second half of the year were abysmal, as he batted only .207 with only three home runs. Of most concern was his 100-point drop in OPS. Rutschman is being taken as the second catcher off the board, as there is hope that he can return closer to his 2023 numbers; however, his Statcast page suggests 2024 wasn't a terrible outlier of a season. There may be similar talent later in the draft.
