2025 Fantasy Baseball Draft Notes

Corey Seager Note

In 2024, Corey Seager hit 30 home runs for the third year in a row; unfortunately, he also dealt with a variety of injuries that limited him to 123 games. This seems to be the profile for the 30-year-old shortstop at this point. Seager can hit the cover off the ball, hits for average, and gets on base at a wild clip. He'll score 80+ runs and drive in 75+. The only issue for fantasy managers is that he has played more than 150 games only twice in his career since 2015. You'll need to consider an IL stint when drafting him, but he is a cheaper, high-end choice at shortstop than the top tier.

Wyatt Langford Note

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.

Jacob deGrom Note

And here we go again... Whether or not you're willing to roster Jacob deGrom in fantasy baseball should be the sole question on any risk tolerance survey. The 36-year-old started three games in 2024, pitching 10 2/3 innings with 14 strikeouts and one walk. Those three starts pushed him up to 20 total across the 2022-2024 seasons and 47 since 2019. When healthy, he is as elite as elite gets, but calling his health "tenuous" is a full-blown euphemism. Someone on draft day will imagine the best and put him on their team, and it could be you if you want to ride that roller coaster. However, he is currently going in the fourth round of NFBC drafts, so this isn't a late-round dart throw. It's entirely up to you.

Marcus Semien Note

The always-reliable Marcus Semien proved to be otherwise in 2024. He still played in 159 games and crossed 700 plate appearances, but the results were less than ideal. He hit 23 home runs and scored 101 runs, but he only knocked in 74 and stole only eight bases, the first time he failed to reach double digits since 2014. Some of Semien's issues came from an abnormally low BABIP of .250 (career of .283). This tanked his slash line to .237/.308/.391, but his underlying stats don't suggest any vast dropoff in performance. However, as he enters his age-34 season, there is always the potential for decline, and he should drop some in drafts as a result.

Adolis Garcia Note

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.
