Expert Note
View More NotesBrandon Lowe rebounded in 2025, earning an All-Star nod while clubbing 31 home runs across 134 games, his highest total since 2021. His underlying metrics remained strong — a 91.1 mph average exit velocity and 46.7% hard-hit rate supported a healthy 5.6% HR rate — but a declining 6.9% walk rate and 26.9% strikeout rate capped his OBP at .307 despite a career-best .297 BABIP. The 2026 projections forecast another 30-homer campaign with a batting average in the .245-.255 range, reinforcing his profile as a power-first middle infielder with limited speed. Given his restored durability and steady batted-ball quality, Lowe profiles as a fantasy riser, particularly in formats that reward power from the second base slot, though his batting-average volatility keeps him just shy of elite-tier stability.

The Pirates acquired INF Brandon Lowe, LHP Mason Montgomery, OF Jake Mangum from the Rays in a a three-team trade involving the Astros.
Fantasy Impact
Lowe gets sent to Pittsburgh as part of a three-team trade. He had been in the middle of trade rumors dating back to this past season. He hit .256 with 31 home runs in his final season with the Rays. He should slide right into the middle of the Pirates lineup.
