Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Varsho's 2024 season was not the step forward many hoped for as he settled in for his second season north of the border. Varsho continued his stellar defensive play in the outfield, but his offensive production was once again below average. He was a problem in both standard and OBP leagues, as his extreme pull hitting and high volume of fly balls does not help batting average unless those batted balls are off or over the fence. Varsho was playing through shoulder troubles for an indeterminate amount of time and eventually shut his season down to have rotator cuff surgery on his right shoulder, which puts the start of his 2025 season at risk. That right shoulder is his front shoulder for hitting, and injuries to the front shoulder prevent the necessary extension to drive the baseball. He had 11 homers in mid June but hit just seven more the rest of the summer. Varsho's defense should help insulate his playing time once he is fully recovered, but something needs to change within his profile, because he is simply not making the necessary quality of contact to avoid hitting in the bottom third of the lineup. It is telling his xBA against all pitch groupings in 2024 was below .200, and 2024 was the third consecutive season in which his average against fastballs has declined. Read Past Outlooks

Launches eighth homer
Varsho went 3-for-5 with a double and a solo home run in Monday's win over the Rangers.
ANALYSIS
The center fielder took Jacob deGrom deep in the first inning, hooking a slider down the right-field line for his eighth homer in just 20 games. Varsho's power display since recovering from shoulder surgery and making a belated season debut in late April has been impressive, but it comes with a .218 batting average, .238 OBP and what would be a career-worst 31.0 percent strikeout rate.

How does Daulton Varsho compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Varsho, like many other Jays, did not get the expected offensive bump to his numbers when the club reconfigured Rogers Centre. In fact, Varsho's numbers backslid in his first season with the club from what he did with Arizona the previous season. His season was weird in that he hit all 20 of his homers off righties, but hit just .202 against them while the lefty hit .292 against fellow southpaws. That means 53 of his last 54 homers have come against righties but his batting average has been better against lefties. His heavy pull approach to batted balls was not saved by the adjustments to the shifting rules and his increasing flyball rate did not help those matters either. Varsho's fantasy value takes the additional hit this season of him losing that sweet catcher eligibility he has possessed the last couple of seasons which has inflated his draft day value. This profile goes from an above-average catching option to a below average outfield option on draft day.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Blue Jays to keep him around?
The Blue Jays could be interested in signing Varsho to an extension, according to Mitch Bannon of The Athletic. "Daulton is a great player we'd love to have here for a long time," general manager Ross Atkins said. "And we're always thinking about how to keep a group together for an extended period of time."
ANALYSIS
Varsho is one of several players slated to hit free agency over the next two offseasons, and while the Blue Jays might be a bit more concerned about signing Bo Bichette to an extension, keeping Varsho around could be a solid move, too. Varsho hasn't put up an above-average offensive season since coming to Toronto, but his 8.6 bWAR over the last two seasons ranks second on the current roster behind Vladimir Guerrero.
