Brett Wisely

25-Year-Old Second Baseman2B
San Francisco Giants
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Wisely always put up robust walk rates in the minors and stole more than 30 bases on two occasions on the farm. Unfortunately, he's shown no indication so far that either of those skills will translate at the big-league level, having posted just a 5.5 percent walk rate and gone 4-for-8 in stolen-base attempts in 142 contests. Wisely has graded out well defensively at both middle infield spots and is also capable of handling center field, which makes him useful even if never shows any progress with the bat or in the running game. All three of those positions are spoken for with the Giants, leaving Wisely with either a bench job or a return trip to Triple-A Sacramento. Read Past Outlooks

ANALYSIS
Wisely will get a chance to catch his breath Saturday after making three consecutive starts at second base. Casey Schmitt will fill in at the keystone and bat eighth in Wisely's stead.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Wisely got some run at second base and in center field for the Giants last season as the team dealt with injuries and ineffectiveness at those spots. He did very little with the opportunities, putting up a lowly .497 OPS with a surprisingly-high 30.5 percent strikeout rate. The 24-year-old got on base at a .417 clip during his time at Triple-A Sacramento, and high walk rates have been a theme for him in the minors. Wisely had just a 6.9 percent walk rate with the big club, though, and he swung and missed way too much for a guy with an average exit velocity of just 85.9 mph. He'll compete for a utility job in 2024, but there doesn't look to be much of a path to regular at-bats.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Will focus on mental game in minors
2BSan Francisco Giants
June 7, 2023
According to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle, Wisely will put an emphasis on improving his focus and mental game in the minors after being optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
The 24-year-old committed five errors over the past two weeks, and it wasn't much of a surprise he was demoted when Joc Pederson and Thairo Estrada returned from the injured list Tuesday. Wisely has a .547 OPS in 88 plate appearances this year but received strong praise from manager Gabe Kapler, who said the utility player "has a chance to be a really good big leaguer for a long time." It's likely only a matter of time before Wisely receives another chance with the Giants.
