2025 Fantasy Outlook
Fragility has been the one thing we've been able to count on from DeLauter, who became the first player since 2020 to make his big-league debut during the postseason. Since getting drafted in the first round of the 2022 First-Year Player Draft, DeLauter has played 138 games total in the minors, including rehab assignments, due to a litany of injuries, primarily to his lower body. He has also played 35 games in the Arizona Fall League across two seasons, and while trips to the injured list have been frequent, DeLauter has been a consistent performer at the dish (131 wRC+, 15.4 K% last year at Triple-A). His massive size (listed at 6-foot-3, 235 pounds) contributes to his inability to stay healthy while patrolling the outfield. If one were looking for a silver lining, DeLauter's injuries in 2025 (sports hernia, hamate fracture) were not to his lower body, and he technically finished the year healthy, logging seven plate appearances in the postseason after not playing at Triple-A since July 11. DeLauter is entering his age-24 season and will head to spring training penciled into a starting spot, given the Guardians' lack of established options other than Steven Kwan. The lefty hitter may sit against southpaws early in his career, but he has the talent to be an everyday player. Just keep in mind he has never played more than 57 games in a regular season.
