Early 2025 Fantasy Baseball Outfielder Rankings

An All-Star break tradition, here are my mostly-for-fun 2025 player rankings. I’ve done my best to list players where they’ll be 20-game eligible next year, and the free agents-to-be are listed without teams. Players with contract options for next year have an asterisk included with their team names.

• Ronald Acuña Jr. tore his right ACL on July 10, 2021 and was back the following April 28, so a similar timetable this time around with his torn left ACL, suffered May 26, would put him on track for Opening Day. Still, I’d expect the Braves to sit him for an extra few weeks, most likely. Ideally, they’d also be able to give him some DH time after bringing him back, but that would mean using Marcell Ozuna in the outfield, which is a scary thought. He played just two games in the field last year and has yet to appear there this season.

• The outfield free agent crop behind Juan Soto looks better than expected, what with Teoscar Hernández, Anthony Santander, Tyler O’Neill, Jurickson Profar all thriving. It will be interesting to see whether Cody Bellinger joins the group. He has player options of $27.5 million for next year and $25 million for 2026, and given his somewhat disappointing numbers prior to suffering a fractured finger, it seems likely that he’ll opt into spending next year with the Cubs. Perhaps a big September would change that.

• While thought was given to integrating top overall pick Travis Bazzana, I’ve included just one 2024 draftee in the 2025 rankings, No. 3 pick Charlie Condon of the Rockies. It’s doubtful that Condon will open next year in the majors, but he might be beating down the door by May or June. He slugged 62 homers for the University of Georgia the past two seasons and he had a ridiculous .433/.556/1.009 line in 60 games this season. Primarily a third baseman at Georgia, he’s likely to play the outfield corners for the Rockies. Bazzana, a second baseman selected by the Guardians, might also be ready to contribute next year, but it’s going to be tough to overtake Cleveland’s bevy of infield options that quickly.

• Lane Thomas is a tricky one. With eight homers and 23 steals in 68 games this season, he’s clearly a top-30 fantasy outfielder while playing regularly and batting in the top third of the Nationals lineup. Thomas, though, is a bad defender with a .610 OPS against righties this season and a .679 mark in his career. I might be underselling him here at No. 66 if the Nationals choose to keep him, but they do have Dylan Crews on the way and even they’re going to eventually figure out that he’s not really helping them versus righties.
