Highlights from this year's 2B projections
Second base used to be a defensive heavy position but over the past handful of years, the majority of teams are now looking for power (and preferably speed). You won't easily find more than 25 SBs at 2B (Turang being a big exception) but all top 10 second basemen should eclipse the 20 HR mark. The biggest issue this year is drafting a well-rounded 2B that won't sink your BA -- that's a big reason why Altuve and Marte are generally low-risk draft picks.
Sleeper watch
The biggest wildcard going into the season is Matt McLain. He missed all of 2024 with a lingering shoulder injury but after successful labrun surgery is reportedly back at full strength. He has the potential to top this list, especially playing half his games at Great American Ball Park. The Reds picked up Gavin Lux as a safety net so McLain will have to snag the everyday job by mid April to get close to 600 plate appearances (we've estimated about 500 PA for now).
Who are the top 5 second 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)...
