Top Fantasy Hitters

There's a bunch of Mets' hitters on the FantasySP ADP list so far.

Juan Soto leads the charge, going at pick 5.33 on average. Francisco Lindor isn't far behind him at pick 12.89 on average.

Pete Alonso is next at pick 50.83. Brandon Nimmo checks in at pick 115.5, while Mark Vientos is at pick 116.23.

Francisco Alvarez (169.5) and Luisangel Acuna (183) are also listed in the later rounds.

Of course, Soto signed a massive contract with the Mets in the offseason after starring with the Yankees most recently.

In 157 games last season, Soto had a .288 average and .419 on-base percentage, which are close to his career marks. He hit 41 home runs, drove in 109 runs, stole seven bases and scored 128 runs.

He left a great team, but joined another stacked lineup, so there's not likely going to be much dropoff in his fantasy production. Soto was a top-five fantasy performer in points leagues last season, and I'd expect the same in 2025. He's definitely worth an early draft pick, and will be the driving force behind a lot of good fantasy teams this season.

Lindor is a bit underrated in my eyes, despite nearly going in the first round on average.

In 152 games last season, Lindor had a .273 average and .344 OBP. He hit 33 home runs, drove in 91 runs, stole 29 bases and scored 107 runs.

He's projected to hit leadoff for New York, and will be protected by Soto - not a bad fantasy spot to be in. The bottom of the Mets' lineup isn't the best, but I think there's enough talent in it for Soto to put up well-rounded totals again. 

Lindor was a top-10 fantasy scorer last season, and I think his outlook is better than that in 2025. Getting him around his ADP might still mean he turns into a draft steal. 

Alonso is back with the Mets and in a great fantasy situation in the heart of a loaded lineup.

In 162 games a season ago, Alonso had a .240 average and .329 OBP. He hit 34 home runs, drove in 88 runs, stole three bases and scored 91 runs.

He was the No. 6 fantasy 1B in 2024, and has a great chance at finishing higher in 2025 with Soto now on the team. I'm fine taking Alonso near his ADP and think there's a better chance he outperforms it than underachieves.

Nimmo is projected to hit cleanup for the Mets, which obviously puts him in a great fantasy position.

In 151 games a season ago, Nimmo had a .224 average and .327 OBP, along with 23 home runs, 90 RBIs, 15 stolen bases and 88 runs scored. His career average is .261, so there's big bounceback potential if he reaches anywhere near that mark in 2025.

I like the fantasy value he provides around his ADP, and think he'd be a great third or fourth fantasy outfielder. His floor is pretty high, and his ceiling is really great. 

Vientos is a player I loved coming into the season, and even though the Alonso signing moves him down the order a bit, I'm still expecting big things from the young third baseman.

He played in 111 games a season ago and broke out. Vientos had a .266 average and .322 OBP, along with 27 home runs, 71 RBIs and 58 runs scored. Putting up similar marks over the course of a full season would make Vientos an elite fantasy option.

If he hits fifth, like he's projected, Vientos should have the chance to drive in a ton of runs. He might not score as many runs as he would have in the 3 hole, but I'm not too worried about that. At his ADP, he's got great draft value, with a pretty high floor and elite ceiling. I'm even fine taking him as my top fantasy 3B, but would probably add a secondary option in case he gets hurt and regresses big time.

Alvarez offers some more draft value, but durability is still a concern for him. He hasn't played over 125 games in any of his three MLB seasons.

In 100 games last year, Alvarez had a .237 average and .307 OBP, to go along with 11 home runs, 47 RBIs, one stolen base and 39 runs scored.

That's pretty solid fantasy production, especially at a weak catcher position. He could be a daily starting option in all leagues, but needs to stick on the field. At his ADP, there's not a ton of risk involved, and with a high ceiling, I like taking Alvarez - I'd want a second fantasy catcher in case he doesn't play all season, or deliver good enough numbers.

Acuna looks to be on the outside of things in terms of being a regular in the lineup after the Alonso signing.

Acuna flashed big potential when playing in 14 games last season. He had a .308 average, .325 OBP, three home runs, six RBIs and six runs scored.

He filled in for Lindor when he was hurt, and that might be his best chance into the lineup again in 2025. He could also play second base, or be the team's designated hitter. If Acuna is hitting well enough, he'll find his way into the lineup. I don't like the idea of drafting him in standard leagues though, instead just rostering him in some deeper leagues.

Other Starting Options

According to FanGraphs, Jesse Winker and Starling Marte are projected to be in a platoon for the 2025 season. Jeff McNeil is the second baseman, while Jose Siri is the center fielder.

Luis Torrens is the backup catcher, and Tyrone Taylor is another outfield option. Nick Madrigal was another option, but suffered a fracture in his left shoulder that got him placed on the 60-day injured list.

Winker was a solid fantasy asset a season ago, but might struggle to replicate that season if he's truly in a platoon. He's a borderline standard league option depending on how much playing time he gets.

I wouldn't write off Marte either, as he could also play in place of Siri, so he might get enough at-bats to be a decent fantasy asset too. I'm not very high on Siri, but if he's in the lineup daily, he might at least be a deep-league option. I also think Taylor could steal some of his playing time, so the Mets' outfield/designated hitter spots are honestly kind of messes.

McNeil struggled pretty mightily across 129 games last season, so he's a bounceback candidate. If he struggles again though, Acuna could replace him. I don't think McNeil will be anything more than a deep-league option, but he's at least worth keeping tabs on.

I only see Torrens being a decent fantasy asset if Alvarez is out with an injury. Madrigal could eventually carve out a little role, but probably needs some injuries to crack the lineup daily.

Top Prospects

Jett Williams (No. 58) is on the top-100 MLB prospect list and is expected to debut in 2025. He can play shortstop or in the outfield, so he's got a couple different ways to reach the big leagues.

In three minor league seasons, Williams has a .252 average, but .402 OBP. Across 164 games, he has 14 home runs, 56 stolen bases, 130 walks, 159 strikeouts and 110 runs scored. He could be one of the team's first calls this season.

Acuna, Ronny Mauricio, Drew Gilbert and Alex Ramirez are three more of the team's top-30 prospects from the end of last season who could factor in during 2025.

Mauricio has dealt with injuries since making his MLB debut in 2023. He can play all over the field, so once he proves he's healthy, he could be back in the big leagues and in the lineup consistently.

Gilbert struggled in 2024, but also was dealing with an injury. He should be called up at some point this season, which could push one of the veteran outfielders off the team.

Ramirez is another outfielder who is expected to debut in 2025. He doesn't have the best minor league numbers, but with speed and pop, could eventually get a call up to the big leagues.

Kevin Parada, Ryan Clifford, Brett Baty and Alexander Canario are some other hitters under the age of 25 who are in big league camp with the Mets this spring.
