2025 Player Outlook

Believe it or not, Buxton has hit 17 or more home runs in each of the last four seasons, but he's played in more than 95 games in just one of those seasons. There's been some pretty crazy fluctuation in his batting average over the last four seasons, but the high barrel rate and hard contact have remained prevalent each and every season. He's going to miss time, but that trip to the IL is more than baked into his cost. His 162-game pace over the last four seasons would see him hit 39 home runs, steal 15 bases, and notch 86 RBI. The talent and tools are there, and he may only need 100 games to hit 25 home runs and steal 10 bases, which makes him an intriguing pick outside the top 200 overall. The risk is sky high, but the potential reward is even higher.
