2025 Fantasy Outlook
Lee, the No. 8 overall pick in 2022, held his own in his first trip to the majors and enters spring training looking set to win an everyday role at third base or second base. Lee suffered a herniated disc in his back during spring training which delayed his debut until June. He was quickly called up after posting a .974 OPS at Triple-A. He had a hot start to his major league career by hitting .300 with a .816 OPS in his first ten games, but then hit just .197 with a .514 OPS the rest of the season. Brooks has a good eye at the plate and makes excellent contact (just a 14.6% K%), but struggled to generate power in the majors with a 40.1% ground-ball rate. He can play around the infield, but may be Minnesota's best fielding third baseman. He'll compete for a starting job at second base or third base and could improve dramatically in his second full season. Read Past Outlooks

ANALYSIS
Lee had started each of the last four games -- three at second base, one at third base -- but his playing time could become more sporadic now that the Twins are back to full strength in the outfield following the recent returns of Matt Wallner and Byron Buxton from the injured list. With Wallner and Buxton back in the fold, super-utility man Willi Castro could end up seeing more work at second base at Lee's expense. Rather than Castro -- who will start in left field Sunday -- it will be the hot-hitting Kody Clemens who fills in for Lee at the keystone.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
A crowded Twins depth chart complicates Lee's path to playing time in the short term, but he doesn't need much more time in the minors from a developmental standpoint. The No. 8 overall pick in 2022, Lee has been essentially as advertised, with a .281/.355/.459 slash line, 20 home runs, seven steals and a 15.7 percent strikeout rate in 156 career games, primarily at Double-A and Triple-A. He may not have a true plus tool, but he could be at least average across the board, and his hit tool still has a chance to get to plus. The 5-foot-11 switch hitter can handle shortstop, and he could be a plus defender at second base, where his average arm is a better fit than third base or the outfield. Lee is better in real life than fantasy, as he doesn't project to hit 25 homers or steal double-digit bases, but he has a very high fantasy floor long term.
Lee's physical tools are a little light compared to the rest of the hitters selected in the top 10 of the 2022 draft (the Twins took him eighth overall), but he has an impressive track record of hitting for average and had a strong pro debut. Most evaluators think he had the best hit tool from the college ranks in that class, and Lee slashed .303/.389/.451 with 20 strikeouts and 16 walks in 31 games across rookie ball, Single-A and High-A. Already physically maxed out at 6-foot-2, 205 pounds, the 21-year-old switch hitter (turns 22 in February) projects to eventually move to second base or third base, but he was sent out last season as a shortstop. Lee is just an average runner who figures to slow down, so the fantasy appeal hinges on his hit tool translating against upper-level pitching and the eventual development of enough power to hit first or second, rather than eighth or ninth. There's a point in every first-year player draft where he would warrant consideration, but trading back for a player with more upside might be the preferable route in active trading leagues.
