Top Fantasy Hitters

There's several Philly hitters on the ADP list, led by Bryce Harper. He's going at pick 24.03 on average.

Trea Turner appears at pick 39.9, while Kyle Schwarber is at pick 61 on average. Alec Bohm (110.52), Bryson Stott (125.06), J.T. Realmuto (158.39) and Nick Castellanos (159.91) are other hitters with ADPs under 200.

Harper was good in his first full season as the team's primary first baseman.

In 145 games, he had a .285 average, .373 on-base percentage, 30 homers, 87 RBIs, seven stolen bases and 85 runs scored. Those are pretty well-rounded numbers, but the one fantasy owners cared most about was the games played.

He does have some durability issues, but is still one of the best fantasy hitters in the game when on the field. I think he's a fine pick around his ADP, but would prefer him a touch closer to pick 30.

Turner only played 121 games in 2024 - he had at least 155 games played in the previous two seasons.

Turner had a .295 average and .338 OBP. He added 21 homers, 62 RBIs, 19 stolen bases and 88 runs scored.

He's expected to hit atop the lineup, which will give him the chance to reach 100 runs scored if he keeps getting on base in front of the team's mashers. Turner's ADP is fine where it is, and I think there's a decent chance he exceeds expectations for that pick.

Schwarber is expected to slot into the cleanup spot this season, which probably fits his profile better.

In 150 games last season, he had a .248 average and .366 OBP. He added 38 homers, 104 RBIs, five stolen bases and 110 runs scored. 

If he's just eligible as a designated hitter in your league, that hurts his fantasy stock a bit. His runs scored might take a hit this season, but more RBIs are possible if he sticks in the No. 4 slot. I think he's worth a draft pick around his ADP, even if he can just be slotted into a DH or the utility spot.

Bohm was extremely hot to begin the 2024 season, but faded out as the season went along.

In 143 games, he posted a .280 average and .332 OBP - those are near his career marks. He also had 15 homers, 97 RBIs, five stolen bases and 62 runs scored.

He might be eligible at third and first base, which boosts his fantasy value a bit. His slow finish to 2024 has his draft stock lower, and I have no issues taking advantage of it. I'm OK taking him around that pick if he's eligible at both corner infield spots, otherwise getting him in the 120s feels a bit better.

Stott regressed to his rookie year numbers in 2024.

He had a .245 average and .315 OBP, along with 11 homers, 57 RBIs, 32 stolen bases and 65 runs scored. Stott has some bounceback potential, but others think he's going to continue what he was doing in 2024.

Stott was outside the top 10 among all fantasy second basemen last season and is being picked seventh, so I think he's overrated by quite a bit. Unless he drops a few rounds, I'm probably passing on Stott in standard drafts.

Realmuto only got in 99 games last season.

He hit .266 and got on base at a .322 clip, which lines up with his career marks. Realmuto added 14 homers, 47 RBIs, two stolen bases and 50 runs scored.

Realmuto played in at least 134 games in each of the previous three seasons, and if he kept up last year's pace in that amount of games, you're talking about an everyday starting fantasy catcher. He's fine as a late-round pick, but I'd at least want another catcher on my team.

Castellanos regressed a bit in a 162-game season in 2024.

He had a .254 average (.274 career) and .311 OBP (.323 career). Castellanos had 23 homers, 86 RBIs, six stolen bases and 80 runs scored.

There's enough fantasy production there to grab him in the later rounds of a standard league draft. I'm fine taking him as a final daily starter, but do prefer him as a secondary option (he could start at a fourth outfield spot, or in the utility spot).

Other Starting Options

According to Fangraphs, Max Kepler is projected to be the everyday starter in left field. Brandon Marsh is a platoon guy, as is Stott in the projected lineup. Edmundo Sosa and Johan Rojas are the right-handed platoon options.

Kepler spent the first 10 years of his career with Minnesota. He had a .253 average, .302 OBP, eight homers, 42 RBIs, one stolen base and 43 runs scored across 105 games last season.

I see deep-league value with Kepler, and he could become a standard league option in this stacked lineup, even if he hits sixth or lower in the order.

The projected platoon with Stott is another reason why I don't like him anywhere near his ADP this season. Sosa isn't likely going to be that good of a fantasy asset unless Stott is actually out an extended period of time.

Marsh had some fantasy value last season, and should get enough starts to be a good deep-league option again in 2025. If Rojas does take most of the starts against lefties though, neither should be big standard league assets.

Rafael Marchan is the backup catcher and would need a Realmuto injury to get a crack at the starting lineup regularly. Kody Clemens is the other projected bench bat to start the season, and probably needs multiple injuries to get regular starts.

Weston Wilson is another bench option when he returns from an early-season injury. Jose Rodriguez could be another option there after he gets done with his one-year suspension in early June.

Top Prospects

Aidan Miller (No. 27), Justin Crawford (No. 63) and Eduardo Tait (No. 92) are all top-100 prospects, but not expected to debut this season.

Gabriel Rincones Jr., Otto Kemp and Caleb Ricketts are top-30 team prospects with 2025 ETAs.

Miller has played 122 minor league games and has a .267 average and .375 OBP so far. He plays shortstop.

Crawford is an outfielder with 213 minor league games under his belt. He has a .316 average and .371 OBP so far.

Tait has played 123 minor league games and is a catcher. He has a .313 average and .371 OBP.

Rincones has played in 188 minor league games. The outfielder has a .250 average, .349 OBP, 26 homers, 92 RBIs, 55 stolen bases, 122 runs scored, 95 walks and 208 strikeouts.

Kemp can play second and third base. He has a .262 average, .377 OBP, 23 homers, 122 RBIs, 43 stolen bases, 163 runs scored, 120 walks and 237 strikeouts across 248 minor league games.

Ricketts is another option at catcher. He has a .247 average, .332 OBP, 14 homers, 91 RBIs, seven stolen bases, 90 runs scored, 63 walks and 140 strikeouts over 167 minor league games.

Carson Taylor and Rodolfo Castro are a couple more hitters age 25 or under who are in big league camp with the team this year.
