Following a couple down years in 2023 and 2024 that saw him deliver a .685 OPS, Kirk got back on track last season with a career-high 15 home runs and a .282/.341/.421 slash line in 130 games. He had career bests in average exit velocity (91.1 mph) and hard-hit rate (50.8 percent), with a .283 xBA and .468 xSLG indicating that he may have deserved a bit more power production. The counting stats (76 RBI and 45 runs scored) leave a bit to be desired, particularly when considering the strength of the lineup around him, but he's never likely to be a notable run scorer given his abysmal speed. Kirk offers fantasy managers a high average with decent RBI numbers at a position without a lot of offensive depth. However, the fact he's never played more than 139 games in a season is an indication he won't quite have the volume of a true everyday catcher. Read Past Outlooks
