Fantasy Baseball Player Notes

Heliot Ramos broke out in 2024 with a 129 Rbat+ and .200 ISO, but his 2025 follow-up was more solid than spectacular, as his rOBA dipped from .349 to .319 and his ISO fell to .144 despite a career-high 695 plate appearances. The good news is his underlying quality of contact held firm (91.8 mph average EV, 47.8% hard-hit rate), while his strikeout rate improved to 22.7%, nearly league average. A more contact-oriented, opposite-field-heavy approach (63.2% to center in 2025) capped his over-the-fence output, but the skills foundation remains stable. With 2026 projections forecasting mid-20s homer power and strong run production in an everyday role, Ramos profiles as a fantasy riser if the power ticks back closer to his 2024 level.
