2025 Fantasy Baseball Draft Notes

Position

Team

Jackson Chourio Note
	18. Jackson Chourio LF,RF,CF Welcome to the big leagues, Jackson Chourio! The highly-anticipated rookie faced early challenges, struggling through April and May, which led many fantasy managers to drop him. However, those who stayed patient or picked him up later reaped the rewards. The 20-year-old finished the season with an impressive stat line: 21 home runs, 22 stolen bases, and a .275/.327/.464 slash line, mirroring the promise he showed during his stellar 2023 Double-A campaign. He also contributed 80 runs and 79 RBIs, impressive numbers considering the Brewers' lineup often struggled to generate offense. While his Chase% and BB% highlight areas for growth, these are typical for young players adjusting to MLB pitching. Fantasy managers can look forward to slight improvements in his power and speed, with a 25/25 season well within reach as he continues to develop. 18 weeks ago

William Contreras Note
	41. William Contreras C,DH It was only a matter of time before William Contreras became the top catcher in fantasy baseball, and his usage is one big reason why. The 27-year-old appeared in 155 games, catching 120 while serving as DH in 35. It is hard to find that level of consistency at the backstop position, but his numbers also stand alone. He hit 23 home runs, scored 99 runs, drove in 92, and stole nine bases. Perhaps his best trait compared to his peers is that he is an asset to your ratio numbers. He slashed .281/.365/.466 in 2024, which is not an aberration compared to his career. Aside from having to use an early pick on him, there isn't much downside to the younger Contreras. 18 weeks ago

Freddy Peralta Note
	91. Freddy Peralta SP Two years removed from an injury-plagued season, Freddy Peralta returned to form in 2024, posting a 3.79 ERA and 1.21 WHIP in 173 2/3 innings. He struck out precisely 200 batters for a 27.6 strikeout rate, slightly below his career average. His 9.4% walk rate leaves much to be desired, but it is directly in line with his career average. While not exactly an "ace" in fantasy baseball, Peralta offers a strong strikeout upside, and he has started 30+ games in each of the last two seasons. Just don't draft him thinking he'll competently hold down the SP1 position on your roster. 18 weeks ago

Christian Yelich Note
	114. Christian Yelich LF,DH Christian Yelich was in the midst of a resurgent season before back issues resurfaced. In 73 games, he posted 11 home runs, 21 stolen bases, 44 runs, and 42 RBIs while slashing an impressive .315/.406/.504-flashing glimpses of his peak form. However, the key number here is 73 games. After two consecutive seasons of surpassing 140 games played, he logged the fewest of his career outside of the shortened 2020 season. As 2025 approaches, fantasy managers should closely monitor his health updates out of Milwaukee. At 32 years old, Yelich carries significant risk, so if you draft him, be sure to have a reliable contingency plan in place. 18 weeks ago

Brice Turang Note
	146. Brice Turang 2B Brice Turang delivered a multifaceted performance in 2024, showcasing his speed and defensive prowess. Over 155 games, he posted a .254 batting average with 7 home runs, 57 RBIs, and 72 runs scored. Notably, Turang excelled on the basepaths, swiping 50 bases, ranking third in the National League. While Turang's .254/.316/.349 slash line marked an improvement from his 2023 figures, his offensive metrics remained below league average, reflected in his 85 OPS+. However, his reduced strikeout rate-from 21% in 2023 to 16.6% in 2024-and increased walk rate to 9.2% indicate a more disciplined approach at the plate. Despite these gains, Turang's .349 slugging percentage suggests limited power, with only 7 home runs and a hard-hit rate of 29.7%. If he can build upon his improved plate discipline and tap into more power, he has the potential to become a more well-rounded offensive contributor, complementing his already stellar defense and base-running skills. 18 weeks ago

Rhys Hoskins Note
	215. Rhys Hoskins 1B,DH Rhys Hoskins returned to MLB action in 2024 after missing the entire 2023 season due to a torn ACL. In his comeback season with the Brewers, Hoskins posted a .214 batting average, hitting 26 home runs, driving in 82 runs, and scoring 59 times over 137 games. His .303 on-base percentage and .419 slugging percentage contributed to a .722 OPS, way below his career average of .827. Notably, his 12.7% barrel rate in 2024 suggests that his power potential remains intact. However, his 28.8% strikeout rate raises concerns about his contact skills. As he enters his age-32 season, maintaining health and improving plate discipline will be crucial for Hoskins to be a late-round valuable power hitter. 18 weeks ago

Brandon Woodruff Note
	236. Brandon Woodruff SP

Garrett Mitchell Note
	250. Garrett Mitchell CF,RF Garrett Mitchell played in 69 games for the Brewers, showcasing encouraging production. He recorded eight home runs, swiped 11 bases, and maintained an impressive 11.2% walk rate. His slash line of .255/.342/.469 highlights his solid offensive contributions. Slated to be Milwaukee's starting center fielder, he'll hit behind Jackson Chourio and William Contreras, which could help boost his counting stats. Mitchell profiles as an OF5 with the potential to provide OF4 value. 18 weeks ago
