Jacob Young 2025 Fantasy Baseball Outlook: Great Source Of Steals, But Not Much Else
Washington Nationals outfielder Jacob Young is a true one-trick pony in fantasy production. He slashed just .256/.316/.331 with three home runs in 150 games, but he stole 33 bases. His quality of contact and power metrics all rank in the bottom 10 percent of the league, and there's no reason to think that will change in 2025. However, his 97th-percentile sprint speed won't change either, and that alone will keep him relevant in deeper roto leagues. He is locked into everyday playing time, thanks to his elite defense, and should be a great source of steals and a solid source of runs. ATC is projecting him to slash .247/.306/.323 with three home runs, 36 RBI, 57 runs, and 29 steals in 476 plate appearances. With an ADP of 301, he makes for a fine fifth-outfielder or bench bat in 15-team roto leagues.
