2025 Fantasy Outlook
We should look at all Rangers under the lens of WE & WB: With Ecker and With Boone. The Rangers dismissed hitting coordiatnor Donnie Ecker in early May as the team got off to a horrendous start offensively despite Ecker's success with the roster in previous season. Seager was hitting .291/.344/.453 at the time of the dismissal, but had just four homers and six extra base hits. Seager went onto hit .265/.381/.497 under Bret Boone's tutelage with 17 homers before an appendectomy ended his 2025 season. The abbrevated season due to the surgery ended a three-year run of 30+ homers for Seager, which was truly the only consistent part of his outputs. His runs and RBIs were left to the whims of his supporting cast in Texas while his batting average has been 82 points of variance over the past four seasons. The return to 30 homers in a full season should not be a surprise, but where his run production and batting average goes in 2026 is anyone's guess because he has been all over the place in recent seasons.

Manager Bruce Bochy said Tuesday that Seager (abdomen) will miss the rest of the season, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
Analysis
Seager recently resumed light baseball activities after undergoing an appendectomy in late August, but the team won't bother rushing him back now that they sit five games back of a wild-card spot with only six left to play. Despite missing time this year with hamstring injuries in addition to his recent procedure, the 31-year-old slashed .271/.373/.487 while collecting 21 home runs, 50 RBI, 61 runs and three stolen bases across 102 games.

Mr. October 2.0 had a monster 2023 season after a somewhat disappointing debut with Texas in 2022. Many expected Seager to benefit from the reduction of overshifting, but nobody saw a 82-point surge and a career-best batting average coming from him. The shift does not get all the credit as Seager previously hit over .300 in two other full seasons, but the shift certainly helped him a bit. Seager along with Luis Arraez were the only two qualified players in baseball with OBP's over .390 despite 50 or fewer walks last year, and he would have easily had 100+ runs as well as RBIs had he not missed time with both a hamstring as well as a thumb injury. He returned from that thumb injury in early August, homered in his first at bat, and went on to hit 17 more regular season homers as a warm up for what he did in October to help Texas win the pennant. Two benchmarks for Seager in 2024: 40 homer and 100 RBIs - two things he has never accomplished in his excellent career to date.
The pressures that come with a 10-year, $325 million contract didn't seem to faze Seager, who established a new career high with 33 homers in his first season with the Rangers. He also drove in 80-plus for the second time in his career, and while his batting average was slightly disappointing, that was largely the result of a .242 BABIP that should be expected to return closer to his career norm (.317). The Statcast numbers suggest it was mostly bad luck as he crushed the baseball to the tune of a 97th percentile xSLG. Seager does not run but he puts bat to ball with great consistency -- his strikeout rate has ranged from 15.5% to 16.1% over the past three seasons -- and he's still just entering his age-29 season. A three-time All-Star, Seager is the type of player that could be an MVP candidate with sustained health and a little better luck on the field.
Seager's time with the Dodgers has come to an end and he will embark on a new journey with the Rangers after signing a 10-year, $325 million contract in late November of 2021. They grow up so quick. Seager is still fresh faced and looks to have a lot of good baseball left in him. He missed extended time due to injuries in his final years with Los Angeles, including following major surgeries to his hip and elbow (Tommy John). He came back strong in 2019 and continued to produce at a high level in the shortened 2020 season, culminating in a World Series MVP win that year. His 2021 season was not exactly a letdown after the championship run, but Seager once again missed time. He suffered a broken hand as a result of a HBP and endured a setback in his recovery from that injury. Fortunately for him, Seager's plate skills will translate anywhere (career 18.5 K%, 9.4 BB%) and the supporting cast in Texas is looking improved. Durability is the only concern.
Seager was part of the historic group of young shortstops who debuted in the mid-2010s, though he'd been a tier below the rest prior to last season thanks to a lack of steals, mediocre home run totals and a season lost to Tommy John surgery. He fully caught up to the rest of that group at the plate in 2020, breaking out in his age-26 campaign to hit .307/.358/.585 with 15 homers. He followed that up with an outstanding postseason, homering eight times in 18 games while hitting .328/.425/.746. His breakout was backed by his underlying numbers, as his barrel rate more than doubled to 15.8% while his exit velocity leapt from 88.8 mph to 93.2 mph, giving him an xBA of .330 and an xSLG of .653, suggesting he underachieved, if anything. Given his longstanding reputation as a very talented young hitter, there's reason to believe Seager will remain one of the game's best shortstops in 2021.
Seager, despite coming back off both elbow and hip injuries, was still an above-average offensive producer in 2019. Yet, the level of production, especially with the 2019 baseball, was disappointing for fantasy owners. In hindsight, expectations really should have been lowered for someone coming off two major surgeries as Seager was. The splits show a guy that still inflicts damage against righties, but has had struggles against lefties in both the abbreviated 2018 season as well as this past season. His Statcast data also shows a step back from the quality of contact baseline that he established from 2015 through 2017 with some particular struggles against breaking balls. The great thing here is that 2019 is a very attractive floor to what this talented hitter can do for your roster. Seager, when healthy, is going to be very productive and presents a solid value for those not suffering from recency bias.
The fact that Seager was still limited in the volume and distance of his throwing at the start of spring training should have been a huge red flag. Seager insisted he would be active for Opening Day, but he didn't appear to be himself as he was limited to DH duty initially upon joining big-league camp and slashed just .220/.316/.440 during Cactus League play. While he was indeed cleared for the start of the year, Seager's struggles continued into the regular season and then, suddenly, in late April the Dodgers announced that Seager was headed for Tommy John surgery. Later in the summer, Seager had another procedure to repair a torn left hip labrum and shave a misshaped bone. Seager was an emerging star in the game before the lost season, having shown an ability to hit for both power and average. If these surgeries have their desired effect, Seager should end up being a tremendous bargain.
Even as he battled multiple injuries in 2017, Seager delivered an impressive encore to his Rookie of the Year campaign, reaching base at a .375 clip while racking up 55 extra-base hits. Unfortunately for Seager, his health issues caught up with him in October, as a back injury sidelined him for the entirety of the NLCS and likely contributed to his poor performance in the World Series. In addition, the shortstop played through a sore elbow for much of the second half and playoffs, though the Dodgers are hopeful a winter of rest and rehab will allow him to enter spring training at full strength. Seager's health is worth checking during the Dodgers' initial workouts, but if the early reports are positive, pencil him in for another season of outstanding four-category production. Since Seager prioritizes spraying the ball to all fields, he'll likely be merely an above-average contributor in home runs, but his sound approach as the No. 2 hitter in a stacked offense should make him an excellent source of batting average and runs.
Picking up where he left off after a strong September showing, Seager played like a veteran in his first full season en route to NL Rookie of the Year honors and a third place NL MVP finish. Though he exhibited power in the low minors, Seager's 26 long balls exceeded expectations. A 17.9 percent HR/FB mark isn't outrageous, but still, don't be surprised if he incurs some regression in the power department. Seager's batted-ball profile and hard-hit rate fully support a high batting average on balls in play, yielding a solid floor in terms of batting average and run production. There's even some room for growth with respect to plate skills. A 79 percent contact rate is league average nowadays, but his pedigree portends improvement. Despite the fact he is entering his age-23 season, Seager should be viewed as an extremely safe four-category anchor.
Reasonable minds can disagree about whether Seager is the top prospect in baseball heading into the 2016 season, but it is hard to argue that he's not the safest prospect in the game. The Dodgers maintain that he is their shortstop of the future, and while it seems likely that he will move to third base at some point in his career, fantasy owners should get at least two or three years of shortstop eligibility out of him. His career could even mirror those of Cal Ripken and Alex Rodriguez, where he stays up the middle for a decade-plus. It is completely unreasonable to expect him to pick up where he left off last year. After all, it was a 27-game sample and he only faced six teams over that stretch, so the league has not yet adjusted to him. Still, he has the look of a top-five fantasy shortstop for years to come.
It doesn’t really matter if Seager can stick at shortstop, because the guy can flat out rake. He profiles as an above-average offensive option at either spot on the left side, and his stock has never been higher. Seager obliterated pitchers at both stops in 2014, posting a .352/.411/.633 slash line at High-A Rancho Cucamonga and a .345/.381/.534 line at Double-A Chattanooga. He combined for 20 home runs and six steals in 118 total games at both stops, and doesn’t turn 21 until after the start of the 2015 season. The younger brother of Kyle Seager (who has 20-plus home runs in three straight seasons in Seattle), Corey is actually more highly regarded as a prospect than his older brother ever was. In addition to staggering numbers, strong bloodlines and the potential to stick at shortstop, Seager also has a clear path to the big leagues as the Dodgers will soon have gaping holes at both spots on the left side of the infield. Expect a late-2015/early-2016 debut.
The organization's first-round pick (No. 18 overall) in 2012, Seager's professional career has gotten off to a strong start. Seager swatted 16 homers in 372 overall at-bats in 2013, though after domination in the Low-A Midwest League (.918 OPS), Seager posted just a .566 OPS in 100 at-bats in the High-A California League. He will likely be a third baseman long-term, but for now he appears to be sticking at shortstop in the lower levels of the minors. Look for Seager to conquer High-A in 2014 and finish the season in Double-A, with a mid-to-late 2015 debut possible.
The younger brother of Seattle's Kyle Seager, Corey looks to have the higher ceiling of the two after being drafted out of high school as the 18th overall pick in 2012. Seager got his pro career off to a great start, batting .309/.383/.520 with eight home runs and eight stolen bases in 175 at-bats in the rookie-level Pioneer League. He's likely a third baseman long-term, and so far it appears he has the bat to handle the position. Seager will make the jump to Low-A this year and is probably three years from the big leagues.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Shortlisted for Gold Glove
SSTexas Rangers
October 18, 2025
Seager is one of three shortstops nominated to win the 2025 Gold Glove Award in the American League, according to MLB.com.
Analysis
The other two finalists at shortstop are Taylor Walls and Bobby Witt. Seager is one of the best offensive shortstops in the American League, as the 31-year-old slashed .271/.373/.487 while collecting 21 home runs, 50 RBI, 61 runs and three stolen bases across 102 regular-season games with the Rangers. Despite the limited volume, he ranked third among MLB shortstops with plus-16 Defensive Runs Saved. Seager finished the season on the sidelines after undergoing an appendectomy in late August, but he should be ready for the start of spring training.
