Mid-Round Outfield (OF) Fantasy Baseball Draft Values and Targets in 2025

Dylan Crews - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Prospects, Draft Sleepers

Outfield fantasy baseball sleepers, targets to draft in the mid rounds. Potential 2025 fantasy baseball sleepers and undervalued OF to target in drafts.

Welcome officially to the 2025 fantasy baseball season! Fantasy baseball managers are gearing up for another exciting season in MLB, but first we’ll focus on crushing your drafts. Once you reach the middle rounds of drafts, everyone is looking to draft players who can provide a great return on value. You can start taking calculated risks on emerging prospects, overlooked veterans, players returning from injury, or even players with some playing time concerns out of the gate. The early rounds are critical, and the late rounds are where you can take your chances on dart-throw sleepers, but the middle rounds can make or break your roster.

Today, we're looking at some middle-round outfielders for you to consider drafting in your season-long leagues this season. Are their ADPs undervalued? Will they make significant fantasy contributions and become a priority mid-round draft target? Read on to see our take.

Our editors have hand-picked these specific MLB players for your draft prep enjoyment. Usually only available to Premium subscribers, the five outlooks below are meant to give you a taste of the in-depth analysis you receive with our industry-leading 2025 Draft Kit. Be sure to subscribe today to start reading all of our in-depth 2025 player outlooks and many other premium articles and tools, including Team Sync, the Live Draft Sync assistant, Custom Rankings Service, and so much more -- available exclusively in our 2025 Draft Kit.

Luis Robert Jr., Chicago White Sox

Chicago White Sox center fielder Luis Robert Jr. will be looking to rebound from a disappointing season in 2024. Coming off a 2023 season that saw him hit .264 with 38 home runs and 20 stolen bases, Robert Jr. only hit .224 with 14 home runs, 35 RBI, 23 stolen bases, and 47 runs scored.

The veteran could only play in 100 games last year due to many injuries; he missed two months with a hip flexor strain and then finished the season with a balky hamstring. Injuries have robbed him of significant time in his career, as he has only once played 140 games in a season, his breakout 2023 season. His current ADP of 84 pushes him back to the sixth round, a price drop from last season. The key caveat here seems to be health; Robert Jr. could have a 30/30 season in him if he is healthy and is only 27 years old.

Trade rumors are swirling about him as the White Sox engage in yet another rebuild. Look for Robert Jr. to start the season with the White Sox, and if he can demonstrate he is healthy again, he could be traded to the highest bidder before the trade deadline. Robert represents a potential value pick if he can stay healthy and productive.

Dylan Crews, Washington Nationals

Washington Nationals outfielder Dylan Crews put up solid numbers in Double-A and Triple-A in 2024, posting a combined slash of .270/.342/.451 with 13 home runs and 40 extra-base hits while stealing 25 bases. Sure, it was not a dominant showing, but Crews was good enough to earn a call-up to Washington, where he played his final 31 games.

While he did not light the world on fire and blossom into a superstar in year one as many hoped, the underlying data still looks strong. Crews posted a 90th percentile exit velocity north of 106 mph and an average of around 90, both solid marks.

From a contact standpoint, Crews posted above-average rates, 76 percent overall and 87 percent in-zone and both the contact and exit velocity data held into his MLB sample. Crews did show more chase, but some of his aggression and higher swing rates are good compared to what we see in college.

Posting strong sprint speeds and being highly efficient on the base paths led Crews to steal 37 bases in 2024 while only being caught eight times. Being strong in the field also helps his well-rounded profile and allows Crews to be a lock to be in the Nationals lineup every day in 2025. He is a high-upside pick at his current NFBC ADP of 136.75.

Jasson Dominguez, New York Yankees

One of the most hyped prospects on the international market in the last 10 years, New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Domínguez, deemed "The Martian," was unfairly compared to players like Mike Trout, Bo Jackson, and Mickey Mantle. Domínguez made his MLB debut in 2023 and was dominant before a UCL injury ended his season after just 33 plate appearances.

An oblique injury in addition to the UCL limited him in 2024, but when on the field, the results were good. Spending the majority of the year in Triple-A, Domínguez slashed .314/.376/.504 with 11 home runs and 20 extra-base hits in 58 games. He stole 16 bases and was caught just once. While the MLB surface numbers were not great, Domínguez still put up quite strong numbers under the hood.

A few mechanical tweaks helped lead to the breakout in 2023, including limiting his leg kick and hand load. The power is legit, as Domínguez posted a 90th percentile exit velocity of 108 mph, putting the power grade firmly plus or better. The contact rates also made a massive jump throughout his career.

In the minors, Domínguez posted a 78 percent overall mark and an 89 percent in-zone contact rate. Those numbers carried over to the majors. The speed has remained despite Domínguez's body fluctuating in size throughout the early parts of his career. He stole 21 bases between the majors and minors and was caught just once.

There is a strong possibility that Dominguez could put up a big season and win AL Rookie of the Year. Still, the expectation might be something closer to 18 home runs and 12-15 stolen bases than getting over 20 in each category.

Riley Greene, Detroit Tigers

Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene will attempt to further develop his already impressive skillset into a superstar status in 2025. Greene put together a very solid 2024, hitting .262 with 24 home runs, 74 RBI, 82 runs scored, and four stolen bases.

ATC projection expect more of the same from Greene in 2025: hitting .260+, 20+ home runs, 70+ RBI and runs, and chipping in a few steals. Last year, Greene had a 13.4% barrel percentage and a 91.3 MPH average exit velocity.

Look for Greene to maintain his number three spot in the order for an improving Detroit lineup, where he will have newcomer Gleyber Torres hitting in front of him, and Kerry Carpenter hitting behind him. The 24-year-old Greene could hit another level this season, but even if simply repeats his successful 2024 season, Greene is a steady presence on any fantasy roster and is a solid pick at his current NFBC ADP of 107.

-- Mike Carter - RotoBaller

 

Steven Kwan, Cleveland Guardians

Cleveland Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan enjoyed a fantastic 2024 campaign, posting a stellar .292/.268/.425 line and remains a top target for batting average. He also hit a career-best 14 home runs and added 12 stolen bases.

This was a nice improvement compared to the modest .268/.340/.370 line he held during the 2023 campaign. Under the hood last season, he generated a .284 xBA, which placed him in the 94th percentile among qualified hitters. In addition, he showed an elite eye at the plate with a 9.4% K rate and a 19.2% chase rate, which placed him in the 99th and 96 percentile, respectively, making him quite valuable in points leagues.

While his ability to make contact and avoid strikeouts is among the top marks in the sport, he lacks in the power department. He generated a 23.7% hard-hit rate and 2.6% barrel rate, which were among the lowest marks compared to qualified hitters last season.

The Oregon State product should continue to bat leadoff in the Cleveland starting nine, making him a safe bet for run production. He has tallied at least 80 runs in each of his first three seasons. While Josh Naylor now resides in Arizona, fantasy managers should not expect his run production to drop significantly, given his elite on-base skills.

Sitting at an ADP of 142.5 on the NFBC, Kwan is a safe and reliable option if you need a significant boost to your batting average and run production, but carries minimal power and RBI upside.
