Highlights from this year's 1B projections
First basemen aren't typically known for their defensive acumen, so they need to (consistently) hit to keep their spot in the lineup. Most teams target 25 HR, 90 RBIs for the position but it's been a rough few years, culminating with a dismal showing for the top 10 1Bs in 2024. We expect a bounce-back year across the board as young guys get established (Casas, CES, Pasquantino, etc) and vets revert to their potential (Yandy Diaz and Mountcastle).
Stolen bases are rarely found at first so can provide extra value for guys with above-average speed (like Spencer Steer). We take all that into account when we estimate 1B season stats.
Sleeper watch
Ryan Mountcastle was a legit stud when Camden played like a bandbox. When they moved the fences waaay back a few years ago, power-hitting righties really suffered. Well, they're moving them back in in 2025 (not like before but close). Expect Mountcastle to be a major beneficiary.
Who are the top 5 first basemen going into 2025?
This list is still fluid until opening day but as of today, here are the top guys at the position (listed here by projected FanDuel points)...
