2025 Player Outlook

While Happ hasn’t been able to replicate his .271 average from 2022, which was aided by a .336 BABIP, he’s posted at least 17 home runs and 145+ games played in four straight seasons. Happ has now been a member of the 20/10 club in each of the last two seasons, and a strong walk rate continues to make him an enticing target in leagues that value OBP (.career .343 OBP). A fly ball hitter can do damage at Wrigley Field, and the addition of Kyle Tucker should help out this offense immensely. Happ is locked in at the top of the Chicago lineup, and should once again play in 145+ games, health willing, while hitting 20+ home runs. If your league values OBP instead of batting average, Happ is someone worth targeting at his current price.
