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 went 3-for-5 with a homer, four RBI and a steal in the Brewers’ 14-1 drubbing of the A’s on Sunday.
Hoskins’ homer off Jeffrey Springs was his third, all of which have come in his last five games. He’s raised his OPS from .519 to .778 during the stretch. That might make it tempting to give him a look in mixed leagues, but he doesn’t have great matchups with road series against the Giants and Cardinals this week.
Rhys Hoskins went 3-for-4 and blasted his first home run of the 2025 season on Tuesday night as the Brewers shut out the Tigers 5-0.
Hoskins opened the scoring in the ballgame as he hammered Jack Flaherty’s second pitch of the second inning for a 440-foot (107.3 mph EV) solo shot. He also added a pair of singles in the contest and struck out. The 32-year-old slugger is off to a slow start overall, slashing just .229/.345/.313 with just the one home run and six RBI on the season.
Rhys Hoskins is not in the starting lineup for Thursday’s bout against the Rockies.
Hoskins will get the getaway matinee off. The 32-year-old will take a seat with Jake Bauers handling first base and hitting sixth against Ryan Feltner and the Rockies.
Rhys Hoskins went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer in a blowout win over the Athletics on Saturday.
Hoskins now has homered six times in the Cactus League. The 31-year-old was mostly disappointing in 2024 in his first year with the Brew Crew, but the power competes with almost any first baseman in baseball. He should help more than hurt in the run-production categories, but the borderline guaranteed lack of help in the average category makes it a tough sell.
