Fellow Pitcher List(er) Scott McDermott already used the adage about second base being a fairly weak fantasy position in 2025, and I wish I could disagree with him. The first base iteration of these rankings was so much more straightforward because there were clear tiers, no matter your priority. At second base, a position that multiple players on every MLB roster could hold down, there is no such clear top dog that hits all the wickets.
Need immediate MLB help? Second base has that.
Need high-upside younger players with a lack of present impact? Second base has that.
Need prospects to dream on? Second base has it.
But is there a player, or players, that check all those boxes and managers can rely upon to carry their fantasy team? Nada.
Still, league championships are won and lost in the margins. Especially if managers are looking to bolster one or two scoring categories, second base can help with that. Over-the-fence power isn’t easy to find abundantly, but there is plenty of speed on the basepaths, the ability to get on base, and gap-to-gap power that teams love. Managers should love that too. With all of that in mind, lets look at the top 20 dynasty options at second base in 2025.
All statistics are courtesy of FanGraphs and Dan Szymborksi’s ZiPS projection system.
Ketel Marte
Avg. 2025-2027 ZiPS 600 PA Projections: .263/.343/.462, .805 OPS, 23 HR, 84 R, 84 RBI, 5 SB
Top 5: SLG (1st), OPS (1st), HR (3rd), OBP (3rd)
Bottom 5: SB (T-18th)
Ketel Marte remains the premier dynasty player at second base, balancing power, consistency, and stability. In 2024, the Arizona Diamondbacks star recorded career highs with 36 home runs and 95 RBI, slashing .292/.372/.560 with 93 runs scored and seven stolen bases. His advanced metrics show his production was no fluke, ranking in the top 16% of hitters for expected batting average (xBA), expected slugging (xSLG), expected weighted on-base average (xwOBA), exit velocity, barrel rate, hard-hit rate, and walk rate. Marte earned every one of his accolades and eventually ended up third in MVP voting last season.
Despite his strengths, dynasty managers should consider a few key factors. At 31 years old, Marte is nearing the point where age-related decline could begin impacting his long-term production. His power numbers remain strong, but his limited speed (seven steals in 2024) caps his value in leagues that heavily weigh stolen bases and might not make him the best fit for power-heavy teams. Additionally, injury history is a concern, as Marte has played 150 or more games in just two seasons, raising questions about durability. Another consideration is positional flexibility—Marte is locked in at second base without additional eligibility, which could limit roster versatility. While he remains an elite producer in key scoring categories, dynasty managers must weigh those factors when determining his long-term value in keeper formats.
Jackson Holliday
Avg. 2025-2027 ZiPS 600 PA Projections: .239/.341/.397, .738 OPS, 18 HR, 105 R, 72 RBI, 9 SB
Top 5: R (2nd), OBP (5th), Age (T-1st)
Bottom 5: BA (17th)
Baltimore Orioles infielder Jackson Holliday has long been a top dynasty target, blending elite talent, youth, and positional versatility. After rocketing through Baltimore’s deep farm system, reaching Triple-A Norfolk at just 19, Holliday now looks to build on his 2024 debut with a full season at the big-league level.
Holliday added notable muscle this offseason, but as always, spring training is full of ‘best shape of their life’ stories. Whether his added strength or refinements to his swing translate into improved MLB production in 2025 remains to be seen. After all, his introduction to the majors was anything but smooth. In 60 games, he struggled at the plate, slashing .189/.255/.311 with five home runs and four stolen bases, experiencing expected growing pains against big-league pitching. Defensively, his arm strength remains a concern, which could ultimately push him away from shortstop, making second base his most likely long-term home.
Despite these early challenges, Holliday’s elite plate approach, developing power, and speed make him a high-upside dynasty asset. Managers should expect short-term struggles, but his long-term ceiling remains immense as he adapts to major-league competition.
Kristian Campbell
Avg. 2025-2027 ZiPS 600 PA Projections: .264/.350/.433, .783 OPS, 17 HR, 85 R, 90 RBI, 16 SB
Top 5: OBP (1st), RBI (2nd), OPS (3rd), Age (T-3rd), BA (4th)
Bottom 5: None
The 22-year-old Kristian Campbell could do no wrong in the Boston Red Sox organization last year. A fourth-round pick in the 2023 MLB Draft, Campbell dominated across three minor-league levels in 2024, slashing .330/.439/.558 with 20 home runs and 24 stolen bases. His breakout season earned him Baseball America’s Minor League Player of the Year honors, solidifying his status as one of Boston’s most exciting young talents.
Campbell’s well-rounded skill set fuels his dynasty appeal. His 60-grade hit tool, coupled with power and speed, gives him the potential to contribute across multiple fantasy categories. His elite plate discipline and ability to make consistent, hard contact suggest a high ceiling for both average and power at the major-league level. Adding to his value, Campbell has defensive versatility, with experience at second base, shortstop, and the outfield, giving him multiple pathways to regular playing time in Boston.
However, managers should consider that Campbell’s meteoric rise is based on a single standout season. While his tools are impressive, he has yet to face major-league pitching, and a brutal adjustment period could be soon on the horizon. Also, that versatility is valuable in the fantasy mindset, but it could hurt his immediate impact at the plate if he bounces from position to position too much. But, both of those possibilities hardly overshadow Campbell’s incredibly high ceiling. If managers are willing to power through the growing pains, Campbell could pay dividends for years down the road.
Ozzie Albies
Avg. 2025-2027 ZiPS 600 PA Projections: .260/.315/.439, .754 OPS, 20 HR, 82 R, 85 RBI, 11 SB
Top 5: RBI (T-4th)
Bottom 5: None
At what point do the red flags outweigh Ozzie Albies‘ track record? The Atlanta Braves second baseman has been the top fantasy options at his position numerous times in his career, and the Curacao native should be entering his prime athletic years. But injury concerns drag down Albies’ outlook in 2025 and beyond.
The 28-year-old Braves star has been a consistent fantasy cornerstone, delivering elite power and run production when healthy. Albies has produced at least 95 runs, 30 home runs, 105 RBI, and 10 stolen bases in two of the last four seasons, making him one of the most reliable multi-category contributors at the position. But those other two seasons were incredibly limited due to injuries. Additionally, his sprint speed has steadily declined, dropping from 28.6 ft/sec in 2019 to 27.2 ft/sec in 2024, which could sap his stolen base outlook in coming years.
Despite these concerns, Albies remains an elite option at second base when healthy. His track record of high-level production and place in a stacked Braves lineup create a favorable environment for continued fantasy success. Dynasty managers should factor in his injury risk and declining speed, but as long as he’s on the field, Albies remains one of the best all-around contributors at his position.
Jordan Westburg
Avg. 2025-2027 ZiPS 600 PA Projections: .260/.321/.443, .764 OPS, 19 HR, 81 R, 82 RBI, 7 SB
Top 5: SLG (4th), OPS (5th)
Bottom 5: None
Already the second Orioles player on this list, Jordan Westburg may not be an eligible second baseman for long if everything goes smoothly for Holliday. But, if he cannot hold down second base, then Westburg is more than capable of filling in. At just 26 years old, he has a compelling case for fantasy consideration.
Westburg had a power surge in his first All-Star season, hitting 18 home runs and seeing his slugging percentage jump nearly 80 points. His Statcast data from 2024 indicates that level of performance is sustainable, with a .216 ISO, a 46% hard-hit rate, and an 11.8% barrel rate. He isn’t a base-stealing savant, but his place in Baltimore’s lineup is an advantageous one for runs and RBI, coupled with a high batting average and power potential.
The biggest thing holding Westburg back is his plate discipline. His 4.9% walk rate really hampered his on-base percentage with some questionable swing decisions to boot. But, considering Westburg’s power and his positional versatility in Baltimore, he is a higher-floor option at second base. He has legitimate 30-home run potential and could take a big leap forward in his second full MLB season.
Matt McLain
Avg. 2025-2027 ZiPS 600 PA Projections: .255/.343/.452, .795 OPS, 22 HR, 81 R, 85 RBI, 19 SB
Top 5: OPS (2nd), SLG (3rd), OBP (T-3rd), HR (4th), RBI (T-4th), SB (5th)
Bottom 5: None
How far can Reds second baseman Matt McLain take his 2023 rookie breakout? The 25-year-old UCLA product missed the entire 2024 season, logging just 13 rehab games in the minors before being shut down again. With only 365 big-league at-bats under his belt, McLain remains an intriguing dynasty piece thanks to his blend of power and speed.
In 2023, McLain made an immediate impact, slashing .290/.357/.507 with 16 home runs and 14 stolen bases over just 89 games. He seemed like a lock for Cincinnati’s 2024 Opening Day second base job after shifting from shortstop to accommodate Elly De La Cruz. However, a torn left labrum and subsequent surgery derailed his sophomore campaign, and another injury during rehab delayed his return indefinitely. Now, fully healthy and back in Reds camp, McLain is reportedly focusing primarily on second base as he looks to reclaim his spot.
McLain still retains shortstop and second base eligibility in some fantasy formats, giving him a slight value boost. He remains a bit of a wild card after a lost season, but a strong spring and clean bill of health should ease some concerns. Factor in his raw tools, hitter-friendly home park, and pull-side power that plays well at Great American Ball Park, and there’s plenty to like about his 2025 fantasy outlook and long-term potential.
Colt Keith
Avg. 2025-2027 ZiPS 600 PA Projections: .264/.326/.433, .759 OPS, 19 HR, 82 R, 85 RBI, 2 SB
Top 5: BA (T-4th), RBI (T-4th), Age (T-5th)
Bottom 5: SB (20th)
It’s rare for teams to extend a prospect before their MLB debut, but the Detroit Tigers made that gamble with Colt Keith, signing him to a deal that could span nine years and $82 million. After an up-and-down 2024 season, Detroit’s investment still looks like a smart bet, though Keith has yet to fully unlock his ceiling.
Keith’s rookie campaign was solid but unspectacular, slashing .260/.309/.380 with 13 home runs and a manageable 19.8% strikeout rate. While he ran into some bad luck at the plate, he never appeared overmatched and possesses the bat-to-ball skills needed to succeed in Comerica Park. His Process+ metrics fluctuated heavily from May onward, but midseason adjustments and stamina concerns may have contributed to the inconsistency.
In 2025, Keith is shifting to first base following Detroit’s signing of Gleyber Torres, meaning he’ll gain multi-position eligibility early in the season. The move may not be permanent, but given Keith’s defensive struggles at second base, it could stick. Keith will never be a speed or defense asset, but fantasy managers don’t need him to be. His hit and power tools remain his calling card, and further development in 2025 could solidify him as a valuable dynasty piece. Expect continued growth as Keith settles in, making him a strong long-term investment.
Travis Bazzana
Avg. 2025-2027 ZiPS 600 PA Projections: .220/.306/.350, .656 OPS, 16 HR, 81 R, 74 RBI, 11 SB
Top 5: Age (T-5th)
Bottom 5: OBP (19th), BA (20th), SLG (20th), OPS (20th)
Any dynasty manager drafting Travis Bazzana isn’t looking for immediate returns—they’re betting on the top pick of the 2024 MLB Draft reaching his ceiling with the Cleveland Guardians. Bazzana got a brief taste of High-A after the draft, slashing .238/.369/.396 with three home runs and five stolen bases over 27 games. His polished plate approach, a hallmark of his time at Oregon State, translated seamlessly to pro ball, highlighted by an 80.4% contact rate, 13.9% walk rate, and just a 7.5% swinging strike rate.
While he faces an uphill battle to crack the Opening Day roster, a 2025 debut is well within reach, with 2026 looking like the year he establishes himself as a big-league regular. With legitimate 20/20 upside at a position lacking long-term, high-end talents, Bazzana checks all the boxes for dynasty managers. His above-average tools across the board make him a future fantasy asset, and Cleveland’s track record of maximizing prospect development only raises his stock.
He won’t provide fantasy value right away, but Bazzana has the potential to be a league-winner for years to come.
Luis García Jr.
Avg. 2025-2027 ZiPS 600 PA Projections: .268/.308/.422, .729 OPS, 17 HR, 71 R, 76 RBI, 14 SB
Top 5: BA (2nd)
Bottom 5: OBP (18th), R (19th)
Despite playing for the rebuilding Washington Nationals, Luis García Jr. is an underrated dynasty second base target. The 24-year-old enjoyed a breakout 2024 season, slashing .282/.318/.444 while nearly reaching a 20/20 campaign with 18 home runs and 22 stolen bases. Projection systems like ZiPS and Steamer suggest his production wasn’t a fluke, making him a strong buy-now candidate for dynasty managers.
Notably, García’s power metrics took a step forward, with an 8% barrel rate and 41.7% hard-hit rate, signaling real improvement in his contact quality. His 16.3% strikeout rate also underscores his ability to maintain a high batting average, despite some lingering chase concerns. Beyond his individual growth, García’s RBI upside is trending up with young stars Dylan Crews and James Wood—plus veterans Nathaniel Lowe and Josh Bell—likely hitting ahead of him. Durability remains a concern after 2024, but he’s healthy in Grapefruit League action and locked in as Washington’s starting second baseman.
With an upward trajectory and multi-category fantasy appeal, García Jr. is a high-upside second baseman worth investing in for dynasty leagues.
Jose Altuve
Avg. 2025-2027 ZiPS 600 PA Projections: .264/.331/.414, .745 OPS, 19 HR, 86 R, 69 RBI, 14 SB
Top 5: R (T-4th), BA (T-4th)
Bottom 5: RBI (15th), Age (19th)
Whether in Houston or fantasy baseball, José Altuve has been a cornerstone for over a decade. The former MVP enjoyed a resurgent 2024, playing 153 games—his most since 2017—while slashing .295/.355/.461 with 20 home runs, 94 runs, 65 RBIs, and 22 stolen bases. While posting his first 20/20 season since 2017 is impressive, dynasty managers should consider whether the 34-year-old is still a long-term investment.
Altuve’s positional flexibility adds some value, as manager Joe Espada has indicated he’ll split time between second base and left field in 2025. However, too much defensive movement could impact his offensive production, potentially dragging down his fantasy stock. Additionally, Altuve posted a career-worst 10.4% swinging strike rate in 2024, with both his walk rate and on-base percentage declining for a second straight year.
Altuve’s name value remains strong, but the underlying trends suggest a decline. Dynasty managers should be cautious—his best fantasy days may be behind him.
Luke Keaschall
Avg. 2025-2027 ZiPS 600 PA Projections: .255/.350/.402, .752 OPS, 16 HR, 86 R, 80 RBI, 15 SB
Top 5: OBP (1st), R (T-4th), Age (T-5th)
Bottom 5: None
When the Minnesota Twins selected Luke Keaschall in the 2023 MLB Draft, it was seen as a chalk pick—one that aligned with draft rankings but lacked major buzz. However, Keaschall has exceeded expectations in pro ball and could be knocking on the big-league door sooner than expected.
Keaschall’s calling card is his ability to make consistent, high-quality contact. Scouts rave about his advanced approach, ability to barrel up baseballs, and low strikeout rates, all of which suggest he can maintain strong batting averages at the MLB level. Add in his above-average speed—which translated into a strong stolen base output in 2024—and he shapes up as a well-rounded fantasy prospect. The biggest question is whether his power will hold up against higher-level pitching, but his 15 home runs last season hint at the potential for 10-25 production at the next level.
Defensively, Keaschall’s athleticism and versatility are an added bonus. He has seen time at shortstop and in the outfield, increasing his chances of securing playing time while boosting both his real-life and fantasy value. Ultimately, his dynasty outlook leans toward a reliable second baseman, with his fantasy impact likely arriving in 2026 rather than this season.
Marcus Semien
Avg. 2025-2027 ZiPS 600 PA Projections: .247/.315/.404, .719 OPS, 20 HR, 88 R, 75 RBI, 7 SB
Top 5: R (3rd)
Bottom 5: BA (15th), Age (19th)
Is the end on the horizon for Texas Rangers ironman Marcus Semien? After an uncharacteristically underwhelming 2024 season, signs of decline are creeping in. While Semien has posted strong offensive seasons, his batting average has fluctuated, dropping from .276 in 2023 to just .237 in 2024—a concerning trend for his overall fantasy value. Beyond the average dip, Semien’s base-stealing upside is fading, and his streaky walk rate adds further volatility. Once a fantasy cornerstone, he’s no longer the surefire asset he once was.
That said, Semien’s durability, power, and multi-category production still make him valuable in dynasty leagues. Managers should weigh these strengths against the inevitable effects of aging and declining consistency. Drafting Semien still offers immediate returns, but in a dynasty context, his long-term outlook is far from certain.
Nico Hoerner
Avg. 2025-2027 ZiPS 600 PA Projections: .271/.332/.378, .710 OPS, 9 HR, 77 R, 60 RBI, 24 SB
Top 5: BA (1st), SB (2nd)
Bottom 5: SLG (T-17th), OPS (17th), RBI (18th), HR (19th)
There are better dynasty options on the Chicago Cubs, but Nico Hoerner remains a solid depth piece, especially for teams needing stolen bases and batting average. If you’re looking for power, though, buyer beware.
The Stanford alum didn’t fully replicate his 2023 breakout, but he still delivered 31 steals and a .273 batting average in 2024. His elite contact skills shine through in his 12.1% strikeout rate, which ranked eighth-lowest among qualified hitters. He has also averaged 31 steals over the past three seasons, making him a consistent speed threat. However, his lack of power remains a major limitation—his 1.2% barrel rate and 85.7 mph average exit velocity severely cap his home run and extra-base hit production.
Another concern is Hoerner’s injury status. He underwent right flexor tendon surgery in October 2024, and as of mid-January 2025, he had not resumed hitting or throwing, putting his availability for Opening Day in doubt. He already isn’t traveling with the Cubs to Japan for their two-game set on Mar. 18th and 19th, instead rehabbing further in Arizona.
Still, Hoerner is under 30 and part of a deep Cubs lineup that could improve his RBI production. But don’t expect a sudden power surge—he is what he is: a batting average and speed specialist with limited upside elsewhere.
Bryson Stott
Avg. 2025-2027 ZiPS 600 PA Projections: .257/.321/.378, .699 OPS, 12 HR, 74 R, 66 RBI, 25 SB
Top 5: SB (1st)
Bottom 5: SLG (T-17th), RBI (17th), R (17th), HR (18th), OPS (18th)
After a promising rookie season in 2023, Bryson Stott took a step back in 2024, hitting .245 with 11 home runs and a .315 on-base percentage. However, his speed remained a constant, as he swiped 32 bases, slightly edging out his 31 steals from the previous season.
Stott remains a steady 10/25 candidate for the Phillies, with positional versatility ensuring he stays in the lineup—a key factor for fantasy managers. Reports indicate he played through an elbow injury in 2024, which the Phillies believe impacted his power output. That theory holds weight, as his quality of contact metrics declined across the board.
If the injury truly limited him, a bounce-back to his 2023 form is very much in play. With speed, multi-position eligibility, and everyday at-bats, Stott remains a valuable dynasty asset, even if his ceiling isn’t elite.
Andrés Giménez
Avg. 2025-2027 ZiPS 600 PA Projections: .264/.324/.392, .716 OPS, 13 HR, 66 R, 68 RBI, 23 SB
Top 5: BA (T-4th), SB (4th)
Bottom 5: OPS (15th), SLG (16th), RBI (16th), HR (17th), R (20th)
Few player profiles generate less excitement for fantasy managers than a glove-first, speedy middle infielder—and that’s exactly what Andrés Giménez offers. The Venezuelan infielder burst onto the scene in 2022, but that season has remained his career peak. After securing his third straight Gold Glove, the Cleveland Guardians moved on, sending him to Toronto, where he’ll look to raise the floor for a Blue Jays team coming off a disappointing 2024. However, Giménez is far from an enticing dynasty draft target.
While he’s been one of the league’s better base stealers—swiping 30 bags in both 2023 and 2024—his speed is undermined by declining on-base skills. He posted career lows in 2024 with a 4.1% walk rate and a .298 OBP, limiting his ability to fully capitalize on his speed. His light-hitting approach also makes him a tough fantasy sell, as he offers little home run upside and has seen his offensive production steadily decline since that 2022 breakout.
Giménez’s elite defense, speed, and youth make him a valuable real-life asset for Toronto, but that doesn’t translate directly to fantasy value. At just 26 years old with five years remaining on his contract, he’ll be in the league for a while—but the trending decline in key metrics makes him a low-upside dynasty choice.
Christian Moore
Avg. 2025-2027 ZiPS 600 PA Projections: .266/.310/.456, .766 OPS, 26 HR, 124 R, 95 RBI, 5 SB
Top 5: R (1st), RBI (1st), SLG (2nd), HR (2nd), BA (3rd), Age (3rd), OPS (4th)
Bottom 5: OBP (17th), SB (T-18th)
Christian Moore has yet to take a swing above Triple-A, but he’s already turning heads this spring as the Los Angeles Angels’ top prospect. Given the franchise’s recent tendency to fast-track prospects, last year’s eighth overall pick could force their hand sooner rather than later. With Luis Rengifo battling injuries, there’s a real chance Moore could be the Angels’ Opening Day second baseman.
The former Tennessee Volunteer brings a legitimate bat, featuring 25-30 home run potential and a disciplined plate approach that generates walks. His 15.7% swinging strike rate during his brief pro debut across High-A and Double-A is a concern, but that didn’t stop him from posting a 184 wRC+ and six home runs in just 25 games. There are some red flags, but the green flags fly much higher.
Moore has also seen time at third base this spring, hinting at potential multi-position eligibility down the road. However, he has primarily been a second baseman and boasts one of the highest offensive ceilings at the position. If he breaks camp with the Angels, he could be far more than a traditional draft-and-stash prospect—he might be an impact bat right away.
Brandon Lowe
Avg. 2025-2027 ZiPS 600 PA Projections: .239/.318/.441, .759 OPS, 28 HR, 81 R, 89 RBI, 7 SB
Top 5: HR (1st), RBI (3rd), SLG (5th)
Bottom 5: BA (T-17th), Age (17th)
If dynasty managers are willing to trade ceiling for immediate second base help, Brandon Lowe could be a strong target. While he’s years—and multiple injuries—removed from his lone All-Star campaign, his powerful bat in a new stadium could give his fantasy value a boost in 2025.
Lowe’s positional flexibility adds to his appeal, with experience at first base providing roster construction versatility. His power potential from second base is rare, making him an intriguing dynasty option—but managers must balance that upside against his durability concerns and swing-and-miss tendencies.
His 30.7% chase rate and 26.4% strikeout rate in 2024 highlight his inconsistencies, but when healthy, he remains one of the most underrated power producers in the game. The key phrase is “when healthy.” He should see regular playing time across multiple positions, but availability has been his biggest hurdle. Lowe is a later-round pick, but dynasty managers should have depth in place to absorb potential missed time. If he stays on the field, the payoff could be significant for the next couple of years.
Zack Gelof
Avg. 2025-2027 ZiPS 600 PA Projections: .238/.301/.414, .715 OPS, 21 HR, 75 R, 75 RBI, 23 SB
Top 5: SB (3rd), HR (5th)
Bottom 5: R (16th), OPS (16th), BA (19th), OBP (20th)
Luis Robert Jr. Elly De La Cruz. Gunnar Henderson. According to Baseball Savant, Athletics second baseman Zack Gelof shares some similarities with these names. If only his production matched his raw tools. In his first full MLB season in 2024, Gelof came close to a 20/20 campaign, posting 17 home runs and 25 stolen bases. While the counting stats are appealing, the path to those numbers is concerning. Gelof was in the 10th percentile or worse in several metrics, including a 34.4% strikeout rate, 36.4% whiff rate, and a .271 xwOBA. The 25-year-old Virginia product often looked overmatched at the plate, but on a thin Athletics roster, there was no better option.
Gelof has the tools to become a top second baseman in dynasty fantasy baseball, but his contact issues and team context are significant red flags. Managers must weigh his intriguing power-speed combo against the risk of his strikeout tendencies and the limited offensive support in the Athletics organization. While his ceiling is enticing, he is a high-risk play in dynasty formats.
Gleyber Torres
Avg. 2025-2027 ZiPS 600 PA Projections: .256/.331/.394, .725 OPS, 16 HR, 72 R, 59 RBI, 7 SB
Top 5: None
Bottom 5: SLG (15th), R (18th), RBI (19th)
A contract year never loses, and Gleyber Torres is entering another one after a tumultuous exit from the Yankees. Now with the Detroit Tigers, the two-time All-Star has been far from a fantasy liability in recent years, slashing .266/.330/.452 since 2022 while averaging 25 home runs and 12 stolen bases per season. With a fresh start and fresh expectations, Torres has no safety net in 2025—no long-term deal to fall back on, just the pressure to perform and earn his next payday. If motivation matters, dynasty managers could see an extra edge in his production this season.
Kevin McGonigle
Avg. 2025-2027 ZiPS 600 PA Projections: .245/.311/.352, .664 OPS, 8 HR, 77 R, 56 RBI, 18 SB
Top 5: Age (T-1st)
Bottom 5: BA (16th), OBP (16th), SLG (19th), OPS (19th), HR (20th), RBI (20th)
Ranked 28th on MLB Pipeline’s prospect list, Kevin McGonigle boasts one of the most polished hit tools in the minors, complemented by average power. In 2024, he slashed .326/.407/.470 with an impressive 24/35 K/BB ratio over 60 Low-A games before a late-season injury and surgery shut him down. McGonigle’s bat-to-ball skills are already a strength, and with time, he could refine both his timing on the basepaths and power consistency. While he’s unlikely to make his MLB debut before late 2026, he has the foundation to be a worthwhile dynasty stash—especially for managers willing to invest in elite contact hitters with upside.
