2025 Player Outlook
Wade basically has one skill, and that is getting on base at a very high clip. He finished last season with a 15.5 percent walk rate and a .380 OBP. Giants Manager Bob Melvin has stated he values OBP at the top of the order and Wade could see time in the leadoff spot this season. That would be a boon to his fantasy value as his plate appearances and run scoring opportunities would increase, but it is likely Wade still finds himself as the strong side of a platoon.
