2025 Fantasy Outlook

Turang delivered an underwhelming rookie campaign at the plate in 2023 with a .585 OPS in 137 games, though he did bring some value on the basepaths with 26 stolen bases. He took a significant step forward as a sophomore and finished 2024 with a .254/.316/.349 slash line, seven home runs, 57 RBI, 72 runs and 50 steals in 155 contests. It initially looked like he was headed for a full offensive breakout since he had .292/.354/.417 through the first three months of the season, but he struggled to a .551 OPS over the final 75 games of the year. Turang maintained a regular spot in the lineup through the struggles thanks to his elite defense (plus-22 Defensive Runs Saved), which was rewarded with a Gold Glove at second base. He improved his hard-hit rate over three percentage points to 29.4 percent and his average exit velocity by 1.5 ticks to 87 mph, which combined with a double-digit increase in his groundball rate (to 52.8 percent), better allowed him to take advantage of his speed. Turang's strong work on the basepaths and respectable batting average give him a decent fantasy floor, and there's some upside beyond that if he can capture that first-half form and cement himself atop Milwaukee's lineup, at least against right-handed pitching.

2019

Turang's solid Triple-A season in 2022 did not carry over into any 2023 success at the big league level at the plate. The 23 year old struggled to square up the baseball and the league fed him a heavy diet of fastballs (56%) as they quickly figured out he was unlikely to do much with them as his .224 xBA and .325 xSLG validate. Turangs's redeeming offensive skill was his legs as he used his elite speed to swipe 26 bases in 30 attempts. Turang's fantasy upside is limited by both his weak bat as well as the fact he will not escape the 9th spot of the lineup unless that bat improves. He does have dual-position eligibility on draft day, but even that is not much to elevate his fantasy profile as he does have a remaining option the club can use should Turang not show any improvement at the plate. He can deftly field his position and run the bases, but the bat has to close the gap this season to gain more than end-game fantasy relevancy.

Turang's prospect star faded after a pedestrian 2021 campaign, but he put himself back on the map last year, hitting more homers than he totaled over his first three seasons in the minors while also stealing 34 bases in 36 attempts. Questions remain about his fantasy potential, but he will likely get a chance to hit his way onto the big-league roster during spring training. The starting shortstop position is filled in Milwaukee, but second base is very unsettled, and Turang could get a shot to show what he can do there if he breaks camp with the big club.

Turang typically gets rated as the Brewers' top prospect on real-life lists. However, glowing reports from the alternate training site are the only signs of him tapping into notable power, and it's hard to fully buy into that, as he was facing the same collection of mediocre pitchers day after day in a controlled setting. This isn't a case of a player who used to drive the ball to the gaps and is now getting stronger and putting more of a charge into the ball -- Turang wasn't even trying to hit for power at Low-A or High-A. He takes his fair share of walks and is adept at dumping singles into the opposite field, so his potential to hit for a high batting average is legitimate. He is also a plus runner, which is the top selling point for fantasy. However, until we see him tapping into power in real games, his upside seems capped as a three-category anchor, and that's only if he leads off.

Turang is a poor man's Nick Madrigal. No prospect can match Madrigal's bat-to-ball ability, but it's the same general idea for fantasy -- a middle infielder who could hit for a high average, get on base at a high clip, steal 20-plus bases and potentially lead off. Turang's Oppo% was 45.9% at Low-A and 43.6% at High-A, so he wasn't even trying to hit for power (ISO under .090 at both stops). Even so, his 14.7 BB% was the fourth-best mark among all full-season shortstop prospects. Turang is a good bet to stick at shortstop and could be a plus defender there. If he brings that much defensive value, he should play even if his bat offers very little thump. He is a plus runner and was 30-for-35 on stolen-base attempts. This is what makes him appealing in fantasy. Upping his line-drive rate and relying less on the slash and dash approach he utilized in 2019 would help him have success in the upper levels.

Turang has average or better tools across the board, with the exception of his power, which is below average. The Brewers selected him out of high school with the 21st pick in 2018, but awarded him the 15th-largest bonus ($3.4111 million) in the draft. The real-life appeal is that Turang should stick at shortstop -- something that could not be said with confidence of any of the players selected ahead of him. He has a chance to develop a 55- or 60-grade hit tool, which will be crucial if he is to emerge as a top-15 fantasy shortstop. Turang's plus speed should allow him to steal 20-plus bases annually, but he will need to hit for a high average to profile as an everyday player, given his lack of power. He goes the opposite way (41.2 Oppo% in the Pioneer League) too much and hit the ball on the ground over 50 percent of the time. While that approach could yield high batting averages in the minors, he will need to be more than a singles hitter in the majors.
