CONTINUE BACK TO THE TOP 40 OUTFIELDERS FOR 2025 FANTASY BASEBALL
41. Alec Burleson – It is a new tier. This tier goes till McCarthy. I name this tier, “Yo, who da eff is you.” Right here’s the factor, all of us have blindspots. I’m no completely different. It’s not as a result of I can’t see one thing as a result of my attractive hair is obstructing my imaginative and prescient. The fellows on this tier all are on this blindspot of mine the place I do not know who they’re. It’s not that I dislike these guys. I simply don’t totally know who they’re. Not but, at the least.
As for Burelson, already went over him within the prime 20 1st basemen for 2025 fantasy baseball.
42. Lane Thomas – He may be the King of Who Da Eff Is You. Thomas is a ten/30 man, no, he’s a 15/15 man, no, he’s a 20/20 man, no, he’s a 12/35 man, no no no no no no–Who’s you?! I get that he was on the Nats for the first half of final yr, and that workforce runs rather a lot, in order that helped him with steals, then he went to the Guardians, and solely Jose Ramirez runs there, as a result of he seemingly has carte blanche, however why does Thomas’s energy fluctuate a lot? I don’t know who Lane Thomas is, which is okay to draft, however you’ve account for some variance. 2025 Projections: 71/18/75/.242/20 in 512 ABs
43. Steven Kwan – Is Kwan good? Sure. Is he nice? Properly, how badly do you want common? Final yr, he was roughly about this priceless, and missed a great month. My huge downside with him is he doesn’t have any energy and appears to refuse to make use of his velocity for steals. If he might go 10/25/.300, then he has actual worth if it’s in 150 video games with 100+ runs. Bizarre factor is it appears much less about means and extra about need. Exhausting to hate that, arduous for me to find it irresistible both. 2025 Projections: 91/11/51/.291/16 in 572 ABs
44. Josh Lowe – If Lane Thomas was the King of Yo, Who Da Eff Is You, Lowe may be the Queen. There’s sure gamers who, if different ‘perts are too assured about them, they ship up purple flags for me. Josh Lowe is one this preseason. For those who’re studying another person who’s 100% sure who J.Lo is, and should not speaking about being from the block with the rocks they acquired of their head, then they’re BS’ing you and also you shouldn’t belief something they are saying. Might Lowe be nice? Positive. Might he be terrible? Completely. Might he hit 20+ homers? Yup. 10? You bought it. Steal 30 luggage? Yup. Steal 15? You’re following now. Play in 70, 100, 125 or 50 video games? Sure, sure, sure and why not. His strikeout charge even went from 24.8% to 31.8% yr over yr. Like what even? 2025 Projections: 51/14/53/.251/22 in 414 ABs
45. Brandon Nimmo – The yr was 2024 when Brandon Nimmo determined as an instance the Pitch Clock 12 as described by Gray Albright, Fantasy Grasp Lothario (don’t abbreviate), when Nimmo confirmed his three-steal standard output year-after-year-after-year might simply turn into 15 steals if he simply needed to run. The statline: 88/23/90/.224/15 final yr is a “Yo, who da eff is you” as a result of Nimmo was about as predictable for a .270 season with three steals that you may set your watch by it, till it wasn’t final yr. Now to confuse issues extra, he was affected by plantar fasciitis and says he nonetheless has it. So, what are we getting this yr? I.e., who is aware of the place we’re gonna discover Nimmo. 2025 Projections: 83/24/80/.241/10 in 557 ABs
46. Nick Castellanos – The Greek God of Exhausting Contact is a “Yo, who da eff is you” as a result of he’s on the verge of changing into previous, probably. Whether or not or not he’s, that’s the debatable half and why I’m “Yo, who da eff” with him. His final yr would possibly’ve been a blip as he regains sparks of Exhausting Contact, however proper now he seems like he’s on that simple path to oblivion that older gamers take, when their fly balls go up, Exhausting Contact goes down, BABIP goes down they usually slowly turn into 25-homer, .250 hitters with a bunch of 370-foot fly outs. Suppose any older slugger like Arenado. 2025 Projections: 76/25/83/.248/5 in 591 ABs
47. Jake McCarthy – Picturing somebody explaining this tier to a non-reader, “Yeah, see, Gray ranked these guys increased as a result of he has no freakin’ clue who they’re.” So, that’s accurate-ish, however I put that ish on that shizz as a result of it’s not 100% right. McCarthy, for unstints, was only a prime 35 outfielder final yr, and that’s the 2nd stable yr in three from him. The center yr is why there’s some query marks on his leotards, Riddler-like. He seems to be a middle-of-the-order 8/25/.280 hitter, which is stable, so long as he doesn’t repeat 2023. This tier is me being actual with you. I have no idea on these guys, however, extra so, if anybody purports to know, you must query them. 2025 Projections: 67/10/63/.281/27 in 493 ABs
48. Michael Toglia – It is a new tier. This tier goes from right here till Nootbaar. I name this tier, “The good things in your hand.” Think about you mentioned to somebody you appreciated the creme filling of an Oreo they usually have been like, “Superior, I’m a bizarre particular person and don’t prefer it, so I offers you mine. Maintain out your hand…” Then they proceed to place their creme filling in your hand. Cool, that’s the great things, nevertheless it’s additionally a bit of gross they only scraped a creme filling into your hand. That’s this tier. These guys are the great things, however they’ve some gross parts which are not possible to disregard.
As for Toglia, already went over him within the prime 20 1st basemen for 2025 fantasy baseball.
49. Tyler O’Neill – Right here’s what I mentioned this offseason, “Signed with the Orioles. The O’s spend seven years increase a farm system they by no means give a chance. Heston Kjerstad, get able to study Miami, buddy, since you’re gonna be traded for a pitcher in July. Too dangerous, Heston Kjerstad was my favourite participant who seemed like an Ikea sofa. Although, I suppose O’Neill would possibly get harm in March and Kjerstad is bjerstack! So, unsure when you’ve heard however two groups grew to become jealous of the A’s discovering a brand new stadium and the Rays and O’s are additionally enjoying in new-ish parks. Rays are headed to Huge Stein Stadium, the place the PA announcer sounds rather a lot like Larry David; A’s are headed to a minor league park, SacPark, and O’s simply introduced of their fences to pre-moving-their-fences-out distance. Rays’ lefties get a lift, however Rays’ lefties get benched by Money half the time; A’s hitters will get a lift in BABIP with much less foul territory, and the O’s righties are again, child, in accordance with BBC’s quantity detective, Mountcastle. O’Neill might seemingly hit it out of any stadium, however the brand new fences received’t harm and you understand I really like him, so long as he’s truly enjoying, which he does about 120 instances a yr.” And that’s me quoting me! 2025 Projections: 77/33/83/.236/6 in 464 ABs
50. Taylor Ward – Noticed Taylor Ward’s earlier season line of 25/6/.246 and noticed him projected because the Angels’ leadoff man and considered how I’d prefer to bum one in all Ron Washington’s magical-thinking cigarettes. Marvel if he calls Ward “Winston” and tells him which bat to make use of by calling it an “unfiltered 120.” Not saying the Angels are chock-full of leadoff males, however, yeah, Ward ain’t a leadoff man. Additionally, kinda sucks that he’s already 31 years previous, and it is a helluva technique to begin a blurb in a constructive tier. Hear, if these guys have been 100% constructive, they’d be ranked 20 or extra spots increased. Ward practically acquired a sleeper put up from me as a result of his Statcast web page is as fairly as any, and he has an outdoor probability at a 30/10/.260 season, which is prime ten outfielder stuff. The good things in your hand. 2025 Projections: 83/27/76/.253/7 in 561 ABs
51. Victor Robles – Already gave you my Victor Robles sleeper. It was written whereas beginning a jam band. 2025 Projections: 76/8/47/.287/34 in 471 ABs
52. Willi Castro – Already went over him within the prime 20 2nd basemen for fantasy baseball.
53. Kerry Carpenter – First, a Reddit picture:

So, Kerry Carpenter is the great things in your hand, besides he actually can’t hit lefties. As talked about earlier than, if a man can’t hit lefties, you don’t need him dealing with lefties. If he can hit righties, as he did final yr, then that’s loads of fantastic. You simply should work round him, which is admittedly simpler in each day leagues. For those who’re in a weekly league, shave a pair {dollars} off his public sale worth or a spherical off his draft spot, when you like, however his projections are pretty similar to Nimmo and Castellanos with upside. 2025 Projections: 62/24/74/.279/4 in 449 ABs
54. Lars Nootbaar – Already gave you my Lars Nootbaar sleeper. It was written whereas singing within the bathe. 2025 Projections: 72/23/75/.266/10 in 486 ABs
55. Cedric Mullins – It is a new tier. This tier goes from right here till the highest 80 outfielders. I name this tier, “Bored-a-rino.” This isn’t a glamorous, capital FUN tier. This tier could discover you bored-a-rino, which is a enjoyable means of claiming bored, and that’s the one enjoyable you’re having on this tier. However — once more with some stank — BUT! typically boring is what’s referred to as for along with your fantasy workforce.
As for Cedric the HRtainer, ya know what’s funny-not-funny? Orioles, Rays and A’s all will likely be in new stadiums in 2025, and attempting to maintain all of them straight in my head, and who will likely be benefitting has my mind all knotted up like a Wetzel. We want a mnemonic. How about, “ROY G BIV…ROY G BIV…SOY G BIF.”
Righty Orioles Yard Go Ball I VictimizeRays’ Outfield Go Huge If VeftySacramento Outfield You Received Borked In Foul Territory
So, they want work. Are they haikus? Any hoo! Cedric is a lefty, who solely is being affected if he goes the opposite means, so it’s mainly irrelevant for him. That’s okay, he’s a 30-ish steal man, which has its place when you want that. 2025 Projections: 61/15/63/.231/28 in 434 ABs
56. Jorge Soler – Right here’s what I mentioned when he was traded, “Traded to the Angels. Jorge Soler can’t play outfield and the Angels have to play Mike Trout at DH, so, yeah, the Angels wasted no time changing into a laughingstock for the brand new 2025 season. [takes a long sniff] “You scent that? It’s an Angels’ horrible transfer!” A Good Strikes hand reaches out to shake the Angels’ hand and it has a buzzer of their hand so the mouth hooked up to the Good Strikes hand screams, “Ow! Make it cease! I’m sorry, I received’t attempt to make any Good Strikes anymore with the Angels!” This strikes Trout to the outfield, pushes Moniak to the bench, a man who needs to be getting ABs, and simply clogs the center of their order. Thanks, I hate it.” And that’s me quoting me! 2025 Projections: 71/27/74/.234/2 in 481 ABs
57. Luke Raley – Already went over him within the prime 20 1st basemen for 2025 fantasy baseball.
58. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. – Epitome of bored-a-rino. I truly like Lou-Gu-Ju rather a lot in sure circumstances, however these circumstances are by no means “Aw sookie, I’m doing all of it for the nookie, give me a cookie, that is a lot enjoyable to draft Lou-Gu-Ju!” For those who get an erection for longer than 5 minutes after drafting Gurriel, see a health care provider instantly. 2025 Projections: 71/20/78/.271/5 in 547 ABs
59. Wilyer Abreu – So, this one is a bit of bizarre for a quote-unquote boring tier. Is Wilyer Abreu boring? Not on first look. He was a rookie final yr, and was a prime 60 outfielder. That ought to imply he has nothing however upside. Alas, I believe all his upside is undercut by his draw back. Crimson Sox have a ton of bats, and he hit .180 vs. lefties, so it appears like that’s the tip of his possibilities vs. lefties. He simply went 15/8/.253 in 399 ABs. If he will get 450 ABs, how a lot upside does he have realistically? He has nice protection, so it would maintain him within the lineup when he shouldn’t be there, however we have to see much more energy, velocity or much less Ks. Proper now, he appears like younger Yoshida. Name him Youngshida. (Lol, that’s so weak, whereas making me snigger.) 2025 Projections: 53/17/60/.255/10 in 419 ABs
60. Jesus Sanchez – This a part of this Bored-a-rino tier may very well be a subsection named, “Sneakily not attractive.” These guys appear upsidey, and, who is aware of, perhaps they are going to be, there may be causes to suppose they may be upsidey, however their stats, on the finish of the day, and after every clause set off by commas, is kinda boring. Jesus’s sandals and Statcast acquired me flip-flopping. I can see how good Sanchez seems, but additionally: His stats are yawnstipating. Additionally, Half II: There’s Extra: I virtually wrote a sleeper for him. His peripherals actually are fairly, however once more: He has 32 homers in his final 939 plate appearances. That’s hilariously pathetic. 2025 Projections: 61/20/66/.251/9 in 464 ABs
