Top Fantasy Hitters

There's a handful of Toronto hitters on the ADP list so far. 

The first one off draft boards is Vladimir Guerrero Jr. He's going at pick 11.85 on average.

Anthony Santander is next at pick 45.65. Bo Bichette is at pick 152.6, while George Springer checks in at pick 162.04. Andres Gimenez (170.65) and Alejandro Kirk (175.25) are two more late-round options.

Guerrero is one of the top fantasy hitters in the game, and is a near first-round pick for a reason.

In 159 games last season, the first baseman had a .323 average, .396 on-base percentage, 30 home runs, 103 RBIs, two stolen bases and 98 runs scored.

He owns a career .288 average and .363 OBP, so a little regression could happen. Guerrero also is just 26 years old (almost), so more seasons like the one he had in 2024 could be coming.

He's played just about every game since he got called up, and there really is not much reason to be skeptical of Guerrero. Getting him at the end of round one or beginning or round two is a great thing for any fantasy team, and he could help your squad to big things in 2025.

Santander played the first eight years of his career with Baltimore. He signed with Toronto in the offseason and is 30 years old.

He played in 155 games last season, posting a .235 average and .308 OBP. Santander had 44 homers, 102 RBIs, two stolen bases and 91 runs scored.

It was his third straight season with at least 28 homers and 89 RBIs, and even if he posts those two numbers, he'll be a pretty good fantasy asset. I think his fantasy value is a bit down in Toronto, but batting behind Guerrero should still help Santander post big numbers.

The former right fielder is expected to play left field this coming season. He doesn't cost an early pick, but could exceed expectations. Last year, he was a top-15 fantasy hitter in points leagues.

I'm fine taking Santander as my first fantasy outfielder, but definitely prefer him as a No. 2 option - that might be difficult to accomplish with his somewhat early ADP. I like Santander's fantasy floor and ceiling, and think that ADP is appropriate though.

Bichette took a major step back in 2024, albeit in just 81 games.

He hit .225 and got on base at a .277 clip - Bichette has a career .290 average and .332 OBP, so there's major bounceback potential here. Bichette also had four homers, 31 RBIs, five stolen bases and 29 runs scored in 2024.

The shortstop is a good secondary fantasy shortstop for teams to begin 2025 - I think his big name will help him be rostered in most leagues (keep a close eye on him if he goes undrafted). If he fizzles out again, Bichette will be a drop candidate. If he bounces back though, he could be a daily starter again, or be great trade bait. I'm fine taking him around that ADP because there's not much risk involved.

Springer saw a big drop in his average and OBP last season, but he still put up somewhat decent numbers.

In 145 games, Springer hit .220 and got on at a .303 clip. He has a career .262 average and .348 OBP - I'd say there's bounceback potential, but he's also 25 years old, so that might not come. Springer also had 19 homers, 56 RBIs, 16 stolen bases and 74 runs scored last season.

This late in a standard league draft, there's not a ton of risk involved with taking Springer. He's an OK pick for a final starting fantasy outfielder, but I prefer him most as a top backup. There's also probably some higher upside fantasy outfielders available, so really it comes down to who you like most.

Gimenez was moved from the Guardians to the Blue Jays this offseason.

In 152 games with Cleveland last season, Gimenez had a .252 average and .298 OBP. He had nine homers, 63 RBIs, 30 stolen bases and 64 runs scored as well.

There's some bounceback potential with Gimenez, and with his ADP being so late, he's a fine late-round pick. I'd only want to grab him as a secondary fantasy 2B option. He could start or be trade bait if he bounces back, or be dropped if he delivers similar numbers.

Kirk appeared in 103 games a season ago.

He had a .253 average and .319 OBP, along with five home runs, 54 RBIs, no stolen bases and 23 runs scored.

Kirk has decent numbers in some stats, but the big stat is games played, and he misses too many games for my liking. At a fantasy catcher spot where there will be more than enough waiver options, I'd prefer to skip Kirk in standard league drafts. 

Other Starting Options

According to FanGraphs, Daulton Varsho is the team's projected designated hitter and supposed to hit fifth. Ernie Clement is the projected third baseman and hitting eighth, while Joey Loperfido is the No. 9 hitter and in center field, but platooning with Myles Straw.

Varsho had a .214 average and .293 OBP across 136 games last season. He had 18 homers, 58 RBIs, 10 stolen bases and 73 runs scored.

He's a streaming option in standard leagues when he's hot at the plate, but is a much better season-long option in deeper leagues.

Clement played in 139 games last season - his best fantasy asset might be that he's eligible to play several positions. He had a .263 average, .284 OBP, 12 homers, 51 RBIs, 12 stolen bases and 48 runs scored a season ago.

He too might be streamable for stretches in standard leagues, but he's a much better deep-league option more often.

It will be hard for Loperfido to be more than a deep-league option if he's platooning with Straw. Loperfido was a pretty highly-regarded prospect, so he's worth keeping tabs on.

Tyler Heineman is the projected backup catcher, while Will Wagner and Davis Schneider are other projected bench options. Unless there's injuries or roster moves, I don't see any of those three being too big of fantasy options. 

Top Prospects

Arjun Nimmala (No. 86) is the only Toronto hitting prospect on the top-100 list to kick off the season. His ETA is 2028, and he's only 19 years old.

Orelvis Martinez (2B/3B), Alan Roden (OF), Josh Kasevich (SS) and Wagner (infielder) are top-30 prospects of the team with 2025 ETAs.

Martinez played in one MLB game last season before being suspended 80 games for a banned substance. In 455 minor league games, Martinez has a .244 average, .330 OBP, 110 homers, 338 RBIS, 14 stolen bases, 267 runs scored, 191 walks and 484 strikeouts.

Roden had a .298 average and .407 OBP across 265 minor league games so far. He has 27 home runs, 152 RBIs, 43 stolen bases, 181 runs scored, 149 walks and 152 strikeouts as well.

Kasevich has 247 minor league games under his belt. He has a .288 average and .353 OBP, along with 10 homers, 121 RBIs, 24 stolen bases, 138 runs scored, 89 walks and 117 strikeouts.

Wagner played in 24 MLB games last season, hitting .305 and getting on at a .337 clip. He had two homers across 82 at-bats, along with 11 RBIs, eight runs scored, no stolen bases, four walks and 16 strikeouts.

Jacob Sharp, Rainer Nunez, Addison Barger, Charles McAdoo, Eddinson Paulino, Leo Jimenez, Jonatan Clase, Steward Berroa and RJ Schreck are some other hitters age 25 or under who are in big league camp with the team this season.
