2025 Fantasy Baseball Draft Notes

Position

Team

Tarik Skubal Note
	17. Tarik Skubal SP Tarik Skubal tore into the 2024 season and walked away with the AL Cy Young Award. The 27-year-old went 18-4, threw 192 innings, and struck out 228. His sparkling ERA of 2.39 and FIP of 2.49 went along with his 91st-percentile K% (30.3). He also had an elite walk rate of 4.6%. It's not bad for a guy people were concerned about coming off flexor tendon surgery. Skubal combines an effective 4-seam fastball with a devastating changeup that induced a 46.1 Whiff% in 2024. There is nothing in Skubal's profile to give fantasy managers pause, and he is projected to get right up to the 200-inning mark while pitching in a pitcher-friendly ballpark. It's a debate between him and Paul Skenes for who the true SP1 is in 2025, but Skubal brings plenty of stability to the position for fantasy managers. 18 weeks ago

Riley Greene Note
	100. Riley Greene LF,CF,RF,DH Riley Greene was a popular sleeper pick last season, and he backed up the hype with a strong performance. The 23-year-old outfielder launched 24 home runs, tallied 82 runs, and drove in 74 RBIs. While his batting average dipped slightly from .288 to .267, his overall slash line of .267/.347/.Four hundred fifty-seven remained solid. Notably, Greene continued to refine his approach at the plate, lowering his strikeout rate for the third consecutive season while boosting his walk rate from 8.4% to 11.0%. He may not be the flashiest name, but that works to your advantage-his value often exceeds his draft price. If you can land him as your OF4, your outfield depth will be in excellent shape. 18 weeks ago

Jack Flaherty Note
	125. Jack Flaherty SP Jack Flaherty delivered a strong 2024 season, posting a 13-7 record with a 3.17 ERA and 194 strikeouts over 162 innings pitched. He began the year with the Tigers, achieving a 2.95 ERA and 133 strikeouts in 18 starts. A midseason trade to the Dodgers saw him continue his solid performance, recording a 6-2 record with a 3.58 ERA in 10 starts. Flaherty's Statcast metrics indicate a barrel rate of 7.7%, suggesting effective contact management. Now entering his age-29 season and returning to Detroit, Flaherty's health and ability to maintain his regular-season form will be pivotal for his fantasy value in 2025. 18 weeks ago

Kerry Carpenter Note
	181. Kerry Carpenter LF,RF,DH Kerry Carpenter excels at getting on base, evidenced by his solid .379 xwOBA, and he has the power to approach 20 home runs. With Detroit's lineup showing promise, the 27-year-old is a solid mid-round pick to help fill out your fantasy outfield. 18 weeks ago

Gleyber Torres Note
	210. Gleyber Torres 2B,DH Gleyber Torres delivered a solid fantasy performance in 2024, recording 15 home runs, 63 RBIs, 80 runs scored, and 4 stolen bases over 154 games. His .257/.330/.378 slash line aligns closely with his career average of .265. Advanced metrics indicate a slight decline in power, with a Barrel Rate of 6.3% and a Hard Hit percentage of 35.4%, both below his career averages. His strikeout rate increased to 20.5%, up from 14.6% in 2023. The move to Detroit from New York won't help his offensive output. He's a later round MI draft pick in 2025. 18 weeks ago
