Rhys Hoskins

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.

Rhys Hoskins has mutual option declined, will hit free agency

The Milwaukee Brewers have declined its end of the 2026 mutual option on first baseman Rhys Hoskins.

Fantasy Impact

Hoskins would have made $18 million had the mutual option been picked up on both ends. Instead, he will once again hit the open market after hitting 12 homers in 90 games in his lone season with the Brewers.
