Andres Gimenez 2025 Fantasy Baseball Outlook: Late-Round Stolen Base Help But Not Much Else To Get Excited About
Andres Gimenez will attempt to reignite his bat with his new club in 2025 after posting an 83 wRC+ last season, a drop from 96 in '23 and a career-best 141 in '22. The 26-year-old puts the bat on the ball well, recording a 79.2% Contact% and a low strikeout rate of 15.3% last season, but it didn't yield a high batting average. Combined with a walk rate of just 4.1%, which is half the league average of 8.2%, it led to a poor OBP of .298. All of that, together with a 2.8% barrel rate, translated to a meager .252-9-63-64-30 stat line despite playing in 152 games (633 PA), along with a subpar .281 wOBA and toothless .087 ISO. ATC projections do not foresee a return to anything more than middling productivity for the former All-Star, forecasting a .257-11-62-68-27 line with a .307 wOBA and 101 wRC+, so drafting him at or before his NFBC ADP of 176 is for managers hoping he will outproduce that projection. RotoBaller has a less optimistic view, ranking the left-handed hitter at 188 overall.
