2025 Player Outlook

Bailey has established himself as an elite defensive catcher, but we are still waiting on the bat to come around. He did substantially improve both his strikeout rate and walk rate in his sophomore season, and he comes with plenty of pedigree as a former first round pick and top 100 prospect. Catchers have a tendency to be late bloomers with the bat since their defensive position is extremely demanding, so Bailey could still have a breakout on the way.
