2025 Player Outlook
If it weren’t for a back injury, who knows what kind of year Yelich would have ended up with in 2024. In 73 games, he hit 11 home runs, stole 21 bases, and slashed .315/.406/.504. It goes without saying he was on pace for a new career best in stolen bases, and his 79.6 percent contact rate last season would have been his highest since 2014 (82.4%). His offseason was spent rehabbing from back surgery, so we’ll need to keep an eye through Spring Training to ensure there’s no setbacks, issues, etc. If healthy, he figures to be a fantasy force again in 2025, and in line for his first 20/20 season since 2019, setting him up to be a very solid value outside the top 20-25 outfielders.
