Providing you with an enormous image, generalization right here: The highest 80 outfielders are the tip of the outfielders you’re in your 12-team combined leagues, and tomorrow can be for deeper leagues, so we’re firstly of the tip of the hitter rankings within the 2025 fantasy baseball rankings. However as you recognize, a generalization makes a common out of I and Zation. Hmm, sounded higher in my head. Right here’s Steamer’s 2025 Fantasy Baseball Projections for Hitters and 2025 Fantasy Baseball Projections for Pitchers.

CONTINUE BACK TO THE TOP 60 OUTFIELDERS FOR 2025 FANTASY BASEBALL
61. Byron Buxton – This tier began within the prime 60 outfielders. This tier ends at Profar. I referred to as this tier, “Bored-a-rino.” Little perception into how guys get ranked the place they’re. I listing 120-ish outfielders, then transfer them round. Most guys get moved as soon as, i.e., if Jesus Sanchez has upside, however query marks and comparable projections to Wilyer Abreu, he will get ranked by him. For Buxton, I moved him about six instances. As excessive because the “Who da eff” tier within the prime 60 outfielders, then into the Bored-a-rino tier then under, then up once more, then, effectively, you get the image. Nonetheless unsure if I’m pleased with this rating, however while you take away the names, that is, roughly, the 20/10/.250 tier with query marks. 2025 Projections: 66/20/63/.253/8 in 414 ABs
62. Jurickson Profar – Signed with the Braves. Thought of Jurickson Profar somebody who wouldn’t stay as much as final 12 months, however now that the Braves signed him he’ll be prime three for MVP. I’m half-joking. Simply unsure which half is the joke and which half is the reality. Rattling, that appears like a life motto. “Life will be damaged into two halves. Half is the joke and half is the reality, however nobody is aware of which is which,” a well-known quote from Gray Albright, Fantasy Grasp Lothario, don’t abbreviate it. A profession excessive in homers, steals and common in his final main contract 12 months? Yeah, I believe that’s the joke half. 2025 Projections: 63/17/60/.263/7 in 441 ABs
63. Garrett Mitchell – It is a new tier. This tier goes from right here till Fitzgerald. I name this tier, “Making the Ozzy Osbourne satan horns with fingers.” This tier refers to how rocking you’re feeling after making one in every of these picks. Simply common vibes are off the charts with these guys. You might persuade your self you simply gained the league on the draft with one in every of these guys. Then you definately may wish to drop them by April third. That is upsidey and downsidey. Rock on! [bites head off chicken tender]
As for Mitchell, him and Jesus Sanchez are in separate tiers (as a result of Mitchell has much less of a monitor document of truly taking part in) however aren’t that dissimilar. Mitchell additionally has a variety of issues to be enthusiastic about, and, on the finish of the day, little to point out for it. At a sure level, guys kinda shouldn’t solely “look like they could possibly be good,” but in addition “truly good.” I’m Royce Lewis, too. Mitchell seems like the rationale why we shouldn’t take what a man did in 116 video games throughout three seasons and simply assume that’s what he’s going to do if he will get 116 video games this 12 months. “Yeah, that’s not even prorating. I’m unsure what it’s.” Thanks, Mr. Prorater, you don’t have to chime in. “Fortunate I don’t prorate out your perspective.” 2025 Projections: 58/12/64/.241/22 in 424 ABs
64. Jung Hoo Lee – Among the guys on this tier are, “What might they do with 150+ video games? A dream, that’s what they may do! However secretly I do know I’m not gonna get something,” however Jung Hoo is extra, “He ought to be useful with none big upside if he performs for 150+ video games, and not-so-secretly he didn’t play final 12 months or the 12 months earlier than in Korea when he had a damaged ankle.” Hoo Lee? Extra like, “Hoo boy, keep on the sector.” 2025 Projections: 81/8/52/.288/14 in 571 ABs
65. TJ Friedl – His final season’s begin was delayed with a non-displaced wrist fracture, and I believe that is likely to be the place his season ended. His greatest energy month was August and greatest common month was September with a low BABIP (.229). The larger situation is Friedl makes a few of the worst contact anybody’s ever seen. His BABIP is low, however he’s round a .250-.260 BABIP man neutrally, which is unbelievable for a man with 30-steal velocity. His Launch Angle is 16.7 levels, and somebody must reteach Friedl about Charley Lau. Friedl does have velocity and energy although. 2025 Projections: 77/16/62/.243/25 in 492 ABs
66. JJ Bleday – Already gave you a JJ Bleday sleeper. It was written whereas portray clouds on my bed room wall. 2025 Projections: 76/27/82/.252/5 in 551 ABs
67. Ceddanne Rafaela – Already went over him within the prime 20 shortstops for 2025 fantasy baseball.
68. Tommy Edman – Already went over him within the prime 20 shortstops for 2025 fantasy baseball.
69. Tyler Fitzgerald – Already went over him within the prime 20 2nd basemen for fantasy baseball.
70. Jo Adell – It is a new tier. This tier goes from right here till Walker. I name this tier, “Downloaded Waxahatchee off somebody’s suggestion.” I didn’t know if Waxahatchee was a rapper, a gospel album, a self-help guru. I didn’t even know how one can spell it. I nonetheless don’t, if being trustworthy, simply liberally utilizing the copy and paste. Whenever you obtain new music off somebody’s suggestion and also you don’t know in case your tastes align, you may find yourself with a track or two you want but it surely’s powerful treading by way of an album of songs you don’t know or care about. That’s this tier. I’m recommending these guys, however you may get just one respectable man and their promise is obscure, however there (I believe). They’re presupposed to be good! (Key phrases are ‘presupposed to be’.) For what it’s Cronenworth, 365 is an effective track from Waxahatchee, if that’s the way you spell it.
As for Adell, this was the purpose within the outfield rankings once I realized outfielders have been shallow for what number of you could draft in your league. I had Adell decrease after seeing he hit .207 final 12 months, however he truly ended up larger than this on the Participant Rater, so I moved him up. Then I thought of how these stats 54/20/62/.207/15 in 405 ABs ended up larger than this on the finish of the 12 months for outfielders and I shuddered. He additionally had a .244 BABIP and 27.9 Okay% and, man, he hits a variety of weak fly balls. He did have a 115.6 MPH max velo, which is elite, so possibly that is the 12 months all of it clicks. By no means heard that earlier than! (Kinda like Waxahatchee.) 2025 Projections: 63/24/72/.227/15 in 477 ABs
71. Evan Carter – His common exit velo was 86 MPH and he didn’t have any max velos to level at to be enthusiastic about. Geez, with compliments like this who wants insults, huh? The excellent news with Carter is he’s 22 years previous and was a extremely touted prospect. Final 12 months was terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible, awwwwwwful, but it surely may’ve simply been rookie hiccups. Maintain your nostril, drink some water and let’s go! 2025 Projections: 64/12/61/.254/16 in 482 ABs
72. Jordan Walker – Nobody’s had their chain yanked in a non-sexual far more than Walker, and he’s nonetheless solely 22 till Might, i.e., it might all come collectively this 12 months. What’s that, I could possibly be saying that for the subsequent 5 years? Sure, I’d. I’m sorry, however a righty together with his energy could possibly be extremely particular. Why do I specify a righty? As a result of he’ll face everybody and never have platoons, if it comes collectively. Walker might nonetheless be a 35/12/.260 hitter. I imagine. 2025 Projections: 66/18/73/.261/6 in 476 ABs
73. Jonny DeLuca – It is a new tier. This tier goes from right here till Larnach. I name this tier, “Waxachoosetts?” The final tier was Waxahatchee and also you didn’t know what or who you have been getting, this tier is much more complicated outcomes.
“Are you saying Massachusetts?”“No, I’m saying Waxahatchee!”“Waxachoosetts?”“Certain, no matter, I surrender.”
That’s this tier. Pure “I don’t know,” however with an opportunity for one thing respectable.
As for DeLuca, talked about this a bunch within the year-end recaps, however I do know a variety of you try earlier than I do these, so that is new for you and I can be punishing these of you who learn the whole lot. Sorry! What I mentioned a variety of was final 12 months felt like a 12 months the place we noticed extra low BABIPs and respectable Okay-rates on guys with respectable velocity. Why is that vital? It means a man is making extraordinarily horrible contact and, if it occurs sufficient, it leads me to imagine the ball was lifeless on the within like your Uncle. With that mentioned, that appears to be DeLuca to a T. Or, higher but, his contact is horrible even when the ball is on a tee. He does have 12-homer energy and 30-steal velocity, so, effectively, it’s a flyer. 2025 Projections: 59/10/63/.226/22 in 463 ABs
74. Nolan Jones – All of the Waxachoosettses (Waxachoosettii?) are belief falls, however there won’t be an even bigger belief fall than a man who simply went 3/5/.227. That was in a half season. NoJo is likely to be quick for No Joke, you suck. Jesus and Mary Chain, Jones was unhealthy final 12 months, however his stroll price (12.1) was superb and he’s in Coors, so, yeah, possibly he goes 15/15 and is sat vs. lefties. This tier is flyers for the final rounds in a 12-team combined league, to present you an thought the place we’re at. 2025 Projections: 56/16/52/.232/12 in 432 ABs
75. Jacob Younger – He was caught stealing 10 instances final 12 months and I’m satisfied Davey Martinez simply doesn’t give a flying eff if his guys get caught or not. It’s an aggressive game-play like while you have been a child and ran by way of each cease signal on the basepaths till you reached house or have been tagged out. So, Younger might steal 45 luggage or 30, relying on how usually the ball is thrown simply in entrance of him for the tag. 2025 Projections: 72/3/41/.254/35 in 490 ABs
76. Roman Anthony – Already gave you my Roman Anthony fantasy. It was written whereas making gelato. One phrase about this rating, I like Anthony lots for a flyer within the final spherical of a 12-teamer, however you completely may drop him the day earlier than the season begins, and I can be shifting him down within the rankings if he doesn’t break camp. 2025 Projections: 44/12/41/.266/16 in 327 ABs
77. Matt Wallner – He had a 31.3 Okay% in Double-A at 24 years of age. I’m cackling very loud. At 26 final 12 months, he had a 36.4 Okay% within the majors. I’m holding out a thumb, hitchhiking away from him. Then, I’m seeing his exit velocity and getting out on the first cease signal and strolling again to him. He had a house run at a 53-degree Launch Angle, the very best within the Statcast period. Wallner succeeds regardless of himself. Besides vs. lefties. He doesn’t succeed vs. them in any respect. 2025 Projections: 48/17/54/.233/4 in 376 ABs
78. Trevor Larnach – You ever win cash on roulette? Okay, think about you took all of your winnings and left it there to trip. Then once more. Then once more. Till you lastly misplaced. That’s what it feels prefer to be a lefty taking part in for Baldelli. Larnach has a stable batted ball profile, appears to be like like he could possibly be sneaky useful, and he gained’t ever prime 410 ABs due to Baldelli. 2025 Projections: 54/17/58/.266/5 in 377 ABs
79. Brandon Marsh – It is a new tier. This tier goes till the highest 100 outfielders. I name this tier, “No empty guarantees.” “Essentially the most annoying gamers to draft are ones with upside! I hate these guys!” If this appears like one thing you may’ve mentioned, I’ve simply the tier for you. As I’ve mentioned quite a few instances, if you happen to’re in a deeper league, safer however boring is likely to be desired. This is able to be that tier vs. the earlier tier, however the additional you progress down within the rankings, the more durable it’s to seek out respectable and protected, and also you is likely to be extra like “protected to present you lower than ideally suited stats.” This was precisely the identical tier as final 12 months, which additionally began with Marsh, and welcome to my echo, echo, echo, echo, echo chamber.
As for Marsh, I don’t thoughts him, however largely as a result of he has a ZZ Prime beard. Oddly sufficient, Marsh appears to be like like he has swamp ass. What I don’t like as a lot is that he will get 400+ ABs yearly and hits precisely meh. Name him Brandon Mehrash. Truly, don’t. Sounds such as you’re declaring to a health care provider your rash. 2025 Projections: 53/15/60/.245/15 in 409 ABs
80. Brendan Donovan – Already went over him within the prime 20 2nd basemen for fantasy baseball.
