2025 Fantasy Outlook
The Cruz Missile had a historical launch failure in 2025. Yes, Cruz did hit 20 homers and set a career high with 38 steals on the season, but he also became the first player with 20+ homers and 30+ steals to hit below .230 in the history of baseball. He ended the season with a batting average hanging on the Mendoza Line at .200 despite drawing more walks and striking out only slightly more than he had in 2024. A 85-point drop in BABIP was a factor in the 59-point decline in batting average, but even the .317 BABIP from 2022 only led to a .233 average that season. Cruz still hits the ball as hard as any hitter in baseball when he squares up a pitch, but those moments were not as frequent as they were in 2024. He did not have any demonstrable changes in his plate discpline which would help explain this drop in average, but he hit .163 against non-fastballs so the league fed him those pitch types nearly 60% of the time when he was at the plate. He hit .227 against those same pitch types the prior season, so even a half-way return to that success could do wonders for Cruz. Read Past Outlooks
