Draft Advice: Tips on player picks and team-building.
#8500
As we gear up for the 2025 Fantasy Baseball season, there are some intriguing players on the radar that could shake up your draft strategy. Let's dive into a few prospects and veterans who might be flying under the radar, and I want to hear your thoughts!

First up, Drake Baldwin, the 23-year-old catcher for Atlanta, is making waves as he’s likely to be the starting backstop. With an impressive minor league season under his belt, including a .276 average and 16 home runs, could he be the late-round gem that propels your team? With an ADP of 496, is he worth the risk, or do you think the hype is overblown?

Then there's Rhys Hoskins, who has seen his stock plummet after a rough 2024 season. However, his spring performance has been stellar, and with an ADP of 243, could he be the ultimate bounce-back candidate? Are you willing to take a chance on him, or do you think last year’s struggles are a sign of things to come?

Luis Garcia Jr. is another name to consider. Ranked as a top-10 second baseman, his breakout last season has many excited. But is his power and speed enough to justify that ranking? What are your expectations for him this season?

And let’s not forget about the pitchers! Reese Olson is flying under the radar with an ADP of 276. With solid numbers last season and a diverse pitch repertoire, could he be the sleeper pick that helps you dominate your league? Or are you more inclined to take a risk on someone like Robbie Ray, who has the potential for high strikeouts but comes with injury concerns?

Lastly, what do you think about the potential of rookies like Chase Dollander and A.J. Smith-Shawver? With their impressive spring training performances, could they be the surprise contributors that help you clinch your league title?

I want to hear your bold predictions and insights! Who are you targeting in your drafts, and who are you avoiding? Let’s get the conversation going!
