2025 Player Outlook

The Pirates want to get Reynolds some time at first base this season, and the 1B/OF eligibility will be a welcomed addition for fantasy managers. Reynolds has remained very consistent over the years, hitting at least .260 with 24 home runs in each of the last four seasons. His 1B eligibility will be enticing, as first base isn’t exactly the deepest position in fantasy baseball this season. While Reynolds seems like a safe projection for yet another season of hitting .260+ and 25-ish home runs, it is worth noting that his contact rate has dropped each of the last three seasons, with last year’s 72.9% contact rate being the lowest of his career. I like the lineup around him, and the price point in drafts is fair for his consistency and projectability.
