2025 Fantasy Outlook
Your eyes are not failing you; Schwarber's final 2024 batting average was five points above the league-wide average for the season. Perhaps now, the only issue to deal with him on draft day is that he is a man without a position, as he lost his outfield eligibility last season with Bryce Harper healthy enough to return to playing the field. Schwarber and Pete Alonso are the only players to hit at least 30 homers in each of the past five full seasons, and with Schwarber heading into the final year of his existing deal, the skills and motivation to continue that streak are both in play. The jump in batting average is directly correlated to his improved average on groundballs. We cannot fully credit the shift rule changes since they were present in 2023 when Schwarber hit .164 on groundballs, but the .300 batting average on grounders in 2024 was a huge surprise and certainly helpful given his 41.7% groundball rate last season was his highest in recent seasons. In short, the 2022-2024 window is very repeatable. Read Past Outlooks
