2025 Fantasy Outlook
Since the start of the 2022 season, Pete Alonso and Matt Olson are the only first basemen to have hit more homers than Walker. Walker's 95 homers over the past three seasons, along with most of his other metrics, have been a model of consistency, and he should be able to take advantage of the Crawford Boxes after inking a three-year deal with the Astros. The 11 steals in 2023 were a surprise that was not repeated in 2024, but the rest of his stats would fit nicely into the Spider-Man meme of guys pointing at one another. Walker missed more than a month with a late July oblique injury and returned in early September to hit just three homers the rest of the season. The lost time clearly cost Walker a repeat of a 30-plus homer season, and that late overall slump (.231/.319/.423) further impacted him repeating his counting stats. We can't explain why 22 of his 26 homers came off fellow righties, but if you are a fantasy manager who likes to bucket their options for drafts, Walker is a solid option provided that Alonso, Olson, Guerrero or Freeman don't make it back to you in a snake draft, or the acquisition cost on that quartet is too high for your liking.
