2025 Fantasy Baseball Draft Notes

Ronald Acuna Jr. Note

Ronald Acuña Jr. was limited to just 48 games in 2024 after suffering a torn ACL, a devastating blow to many fantasy rosters. His status for Opening Day 2025 remains uncertain, raising echoes of his situation heading into 2023. That year, Acuña bounced back from a prior knee injury to deliver one of the most remarkable fantasy performances ever, with 41 home runs, 149 runs scored, 106 RBIs, and an incredible 73 stolen bases. While replicating those stats in 2025 may be a tall order, few players at age 27 possess his unique blend of power and speed. Expect a slight draft-day discount due to the injury concerns, but monitor updates on his recovery to ensure his absence won't extend into the season's early weeks.

Michael Harris II Note

Michael Harris faced challenges in 2024 due to injuries, which appeared to impact his on-field performance. The 23-year-old also experienced some bad luck, as his .264/.304/.418 slash line fell short of his expected stats (.288 xBA and .470 xSLG). Despite this, he managed to tally 16 home runs and 10 stolen bases, showcasing his potential if he can maintain his health. However, Harris has played fewer games than fantasy managers would hope for from a fourth-round pick in each of his first two seasons. While he remains a strong option, his injury history adds risk, making him a less secure choice as an OF2.

Marcell Ozuna Note

Marcell Ozuna returned to the Braves' lineup in 2024 and delivered nearly identical results to his 2023 campaign. He crushed 39 home runs, drove in 104 runs, and crossed the plate 96 times. Unlike Kyle Schwarber, Ozuna paired his power with a .302 batting average, making him a valuable four-category contributor. However, that lofty average was fueled by an unsustainable .359 BABIP, suggesting he's likely to revert closer to his career mark of .272. Still, with Atlanta's offense at full strength and Ozuna playing in a contract year, he remains a worthy staple in your utility slot.

Jurickson Profar Note

In 2024, Jurickson Profar set new career highs in home runs (24), runs (94), RBI (85), and batting average (.280). He tied his career high in stolen bases with 10. He signed with the Braves in the offseason, surrounding him with a solid lineup, but it will be important to temper expectations for the 31-year-old. Twenty homers is still on the table, but the batting average will drop back to the .250s, though the counting stats should remain high, assuming the Braves don't suffer the same injury bug they had last season. Draft him as nothing more than an OF4.
