Fantasy Baseball Player Notes

Wyatt Langford entered the 2024 season as one of the most anticipated rookies, and his debut campaign was a rollercoaster ride. He finished on a high note, posting a .300 batting average in September while launching eight of his 16 home runs and collecting 20 RBI and 25 runs during the month. Langford appears to have navigated the typical challenges of a rookie season, potentially setting himself up to avoid the notorious "sophomore slump." Fantasy managers can reasonably expect a 20/20 season (he tallied 16 homers and 19 steals in 2024), with the potential for improved counting stats if the Texas lineup remains healthy. He's a reliable OF2/OF3 option with plenty of upside for fantasy rosters.

Adolis García followed up his stellar 2023 campaign with a noticeable decline in production. His home run total dipped from 39 to 25, and his runs and RBIs took a hit as well, in part due to injuries within the Texas lineup. Looking ahead to 2025, projections suggest he'll post around 30 homers, 75 runs, and 90 RBIs-solid numbers for a third outfielder in fantasy. At this point, his 39-homer, 108-run, 107-RBI season appears to be the exception rather than the norm.
