Cowser, as well as fantasy managers, would rather put the 2025 season out to pasture and forget it ever happened. Cowser's season failed to launch after a dive back into first base led to a fractured thumb which caused him to miss the first two months of the season following the opening season series against Toronto. He returned in late May only to then fracture two ribs in a collision with the outfield wall and also dealt with an August concussion. Cowser hit .197/.273/.384 after the outfield wall collision as he never went on the injured list with that injury and even worse once returning from his concussion. It was quite the fall from grace from his 2024 season and yet, he still produced homers and steals at paces which exceeded what he did in 2024. Cowser needs to find a way to make better contact as his 32.3% strikeout rate through nearly 1000 plate appearances hurts his batting average and a .300 OBP limits his ability to continue his stolen base prowess as he was a perfect 14 of 14 last season. He has to stem this growing contact issue to tap into his full potential in 2026. Read Past Outlooks
