2025 Player Outlook
If things go well, Suzuki can leave his glove in the clubhouse as he’ll be the primary DH for Chicago in 2025. He’s coming off his second straight season with a .280+ average and 20+ home runs, and his 16 stolen bases last season were more than he had in 2022 and 2023 combined (15). Naysayers will look right to his .370 BABIP to guarantee his batting average takes a dip in 2025, and while his xBA would also agree with that sentiment, it’s hard to argue how much hard contact Suzuki makes. How does an 84th percentile or better hard-hit rate and 94th percentile max exit velocity in each of the last two years sound? Strictly as a DH last season, Suzuki hit .298 with an .846 OPS and 140 wRC+. He continues to get better, and if he can shave a few percentage points off his strikeout rate, 2025 could be his best year yet in the Windy City, something to the tune of 25/15 with a .265ish average.
