2025 Player Outlook
If you ignore his .214 batting average last season, Hoskins was his usual self last year. He hit 26 home runs, drove in 82 runners, but a career-high 28.8 percent strikeout rate, .250 BABIP, and elevated 24.8 percent O-Swing rate tanked his batting average. In 2025, he’ll be the everyday first baseman for Milwaukee, and his power output in the mid-to-upper twenties is a safe projection, and his batting average should be closer to .240 than .210 in 2025. For someone going outside the top 20 players at his position and outside the top 275 overall, there’s some value to be had with Hoskins in this Milwaukee lineup.
Player News
Rhys Hoskins struck out all four times up against the Braves in Monday’s loss.
Hoskins is 4-for-26 with no extra-base hits this month, dropping his OPS from .849 to .789. The Brewers might hit him a little lower in the lineup against right-handers as a response, but they don’t have much choice other than to stick with him until his next hot streak.
Rhys Hoskins went 2-for-6 with two homers and six RBI against the Phillies on Saturday.
Hoskins tagged Jesus Luzardo for a three-run homer in the first inning to put the Brewers on top early. He then did it again in the fourth, slugging a second three-run blast off Luzardo to blow the game open. The 32-year-old first baseman is having a stellar bounce-back season, hitting .276/.374/.475 with nine homers and 35 RBI across 214 plate appearances.
Rhys Hoskins went 2-for-4 and swatted his sixth home run of the season on Tuesday as the Brewers triumphed over the Orioles.
Hoskins ripped a leadoff double off of Chayce McDermott in the fourth inning then rode home on Sal Frelick’s two-run blast. Hoskins then victimized Orioles’ closer Felix Bautista for a 392-foot (101.3 mph EV) solo shot to lead off the eighth inning, increasing the Brewers’ lead to 4-2. With his two-hit attack, the 32-year-old slugger is slashing .297/.402/.483 with six homers and 26 RBI in what has been a very strong start to the 2025 season.
Rhys Hoskins went 4-for-4 with a homer, a double, five RBI and a walk in powering the Brewers past the Guardians 9-5 on Wednesday.
Hoskins was batting .182 and slugging .205 on this day a month ago. He’s since hit .349 with five homers, six doubles, 20 RBI and 13 walks in 26 games. He’s even stolen two bases. It looked like Hoskins might have been done as a mixed-league first baseman after his mediocre 2024, but he’s definitely worth playing now.
