Eugenio Suarez

Eugenio Suarez enjoyed a dramatic power resurgence in 2025, crushing 49 home runs with 118 RBI across 159 games while rebounding from a down 2023 season. Although the batting average remained volatile (.228 overall), his .526 slugging percentage and top-tier barrel production reaffirmed his value as a category-altering power bat. The strikeout rate is still elevated, keeping his floor low in average-based formats, but the run production and durability help offset the risk. The move to Cincinnati boosts his value compared to having re-signed in Seattle, simply from a ballpark perspective. Entering his age-34 season, Suarez profiles as a high-variance corner infielder whose fantasy value hinges on elite power holding steady despite age-related decline concerns.

Fantasy Impact

Suarez will see most of his playing time at designated hitter for the Reds according to Passan, offering another power bat in a Cincinnati lineup looking for more offensive production on a consistent basis this upcoming season. The 34-year-old posted an .824 OPS with 49 home runs and 118 RBI in 159 contests with the Arizona Diamondbacks and Seattle Mariners during the 2025 season.
