Garrett Mitchell Fantasy Baseball Outlook: Poised for a Breakout in 2025?
If you're looking for a late-round outfielder with upside, Garrett Mitchell is an intriguing target. In 224 plate appearances last season, Mitchell racked up eight home runs and 11 steals with a .255/.342/.469 slash line. He also had a 95th percentile sprint speed and a solid 11.2% walk rate. However, the downside with Mitchell in 2024 was a 31.5% strikeout rate, 56.7% ground ball rate, and 71.7% zone contact rate. Mitchell has also dealt with various injuries over the last few years. If you're drafting Mitchell, the upside is there to finish as a Top 100 overall player for fantasy, given the power/speed blend. ATC projects Mitchell with 13 home runs and 20 stolen bases, which is a great value at his NFBC price tag of 255. However, there are also plenty of downsides, which could turn into a pick you regret. He's one of the biggest boom-or-bust outfielders in 2025.
