The outfield landscape for the 2025 Fantasy season is looking much more promising than it did in 2024. Last year, we saw players like Nolan Jones and Josh Lowe being drafted as top outfielders, but they didn’t live up to expectations. However, this time around, we have young talents like Jackson Chourio and Jackson Merrill emerging as top options. James Wood, Wyatt Langford, and Lawrence Butler are also names to watch out for in the outfield rankings.
One standout player from the 2024 season was Brenton Doyle of the Rockies. Despite being drafted outside the top 100 at the position, Doyle finished as the No. 12 outfielder in Fantasy. His defensive skills played a significant role in his success, and he is a player to consider for the top 30 outfielders in 2025.
On the flip side, Ronald Acuña of the Braves was a major disappointment in 2024 before suffering an ACL injury. His struggles at the plate raised concerns about his performance moving forward. While Acuña has immense potential, his injury history and declining numbers are something to monitor for the upcoming season.
Looking ahead to the 2025 season, some outfielders who could be on the move include Juan Soto, Anthony Santander, and Cody Bellinger. Soto, in particular, is a superstar whose destination could impact his Fantasy value. Santander, known for his power hitting, might benefit from a change in home park. Tyler O’Neill, another intriguing free agent, faces questions about his health and consistency.
In terms of prospects, names like Jasson Dominguez, Roman Anthony, and Emmanuel Rodriguez are players to keep an eye on. Dominguez, in particular, could be a breakout star given his power potential and young age. With a mix of established stars, breakout candidates, and promising prospects, the outfield position in Fantasy baseball is set to offer plenty of excitement and intrigue in the upcoming season.
