The highest tier at Second Base is gentle, however the center tier offers one loads of alternatives from which to select and select. A lot in order that I’ll be wanting on the middle-tier to fill my Second Base wants in 2025. Jake Cronenworth, Bryson Stott, Colt Keith, or Andres Gimenez will hopefully discover their means onto a lot of my Fantasy squads this season.
1. Ketel Marte, ARZ – Once you’ve bested your friends by 13 dwelling runs, 21 RBI, and end the season as the one participant at second to prime each .800 and .900 OPS, you’re in a league all onto your self.
2. Jose Altuve, HOU – It will not be 2016 good, however Altuve can nonetheless put collectively a 20-20 season.
3. Ozzie Albies, ATL – The one factor lacking and trigger for a down 12 months are the at-bats. Give him 500+ and he has the potential to be the house run chief at Second Base.
4. Marcus Semien, TEX – 2024 was a down 12 months for Semien however he nonetheless managed to attain 101 runs, the one 2B to interrupt the 100 RS mark in 2024.
5. Jordan Westburg, BAL – There shall be a 25 HR, 85 RBI season in his future and that may very well be as early as 2025. 3B-67
6. Brice Turang, MIL – The facility is proscribed, however there isn’t any doubting the pace. Turang broke out in 2024, ending third in all of baseball with 50 stolen bases. Count on extra of the identical shifting ahead.
7. Luis Garcia Jr., WAS – Garcia loved a breakout marketing campaign in 2024 through which the 24-year-old fell two homers in need of a 20-20 season.
8. Matt McLain, CIN – There’s no doubting McLain has the potential to supply a 25-25 season. A shoulder damage suffered in Spring Coaching and the following surgical procedure value him all of 2024, however an AFL rehab stint has him seeking to be 100% able to roll come Spring.
9. Maikel Garcia, KCR – Even a half dozen extra homers to go together with the high-30’s stolen base potential and Miakel Garcia will rapidly transfer up this listing. He did expertise a bone chip concern in his proper elbow however needs to be prepared for Spring Coaching. 3B-124
10. Jackson Holliday, BAL – He struggled badly in his first go-round in Baltimore however went again to Triple-A and did the whole lot that bought him his first kick-at-the-can. The upside is sky excessive, it simply has to come back to fruition.
11. Luis Rengifo, LAA – Rengifo has each energy and pace potential. What we have to witness is it being on show for that first season of 500+ at-bats. 3B-48
12. Jake Cronenworth, SDP – 15-to-20 homers and 80-to-90 RBI’s makes for a advantageous possibility within the mid-rounds. 1B-85
13. Bryson Stott, PHI – 10-to-15 homers with a 30-stolen base ground works relatively nicely in your middle-infield.
14. Colt Keith, DET – Keith struggled out of the gate and didn’t hit his first dwelling run final 12 months till Might 24. He completed sturdy and gave us a style of what we witnessed at Double and Triple-A in 2023. The perfect is but to come back, and it may very well be at a brand new place, First Base.
15. Andres Gimenez, TOR – A smattering of homers, 25+thefts, and an honest common makes Gimenez a strong mid-tier possibility.
16. Nico Hoerner, CHC – 5-to-10 homer potential with a 30 stolen base ground gives strong worth. Monitor Hoerner’s standing carefully as your draft day approaches. The flexor tendon restore may very well be trigger for a delayed begin to 2025.
17. Zack Gelof, OAK – The 17 dwelling runs and 25 stolen bases collected final 12 months are spectacular, however they arrive with a whopping 188 strikeouts in 497 at-bats. Know your parameters!
18. Jonathan India, KCR – India sports activities a profession OBP of .352. to go together with strong energy and pace. He is also hitting on the top-of-the-order in Kansas Metropolis. There’s upside potential because the #18 2B off-the-board.
19. Luis Arraez, SDP – Batting common and runs scored are however two-of-the-five offensive classes in play in our recreation and that’s merely not sufficient to push him increased up the board.1B-69
20. Gleyber Torres, DET – 2024 was a down 12 months for the 28-year-old Torres, however the consistency flashed in each 2022 and 2023 offers hope for a bounceback marketing campaign.
