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 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.
Rhys Hoskins went 1-for-4 with a two-run double on Tuesday, helping to lead the Brewers to victory over the Astros.
The 32-year-old slugger opened the scoring in the ballgame with a two-out, two-run double off of Hayden Wesneski in the top half of the first inning. He then rode home on Jake Bauers’ two-run blast. Hoskins has been swinging a hot bat recently for the Brewers, slashing .267/.381/.419 with four homers, 17 RBI and one stolen base through his first 34 games on the season.
Rhys Hoskins went 2-for-4 with a double and drew a walk as the Brewers fell to the Giants on Thursday afternoon.
Hoskins singled with two outs in the opening inning but wound up getting stranded at third base. He then smacked a two-out double in the third inning, but once again the Brewers were unable to cash him in. With his two-hit attack, the 32-year-old first baseman is now hitting a robust .286/.393/.443 with three long balls, 12 RBI and a stolen base.
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.
