2025 Fantasy Outlook
After being selected in the second round back in 2020, Dingler made his MLB debut in 2024. He appeared in 27 games for the Tigers, slashing just .167/.195/.310 with a home run and 11 RBI. Dingler served as the backup to Jake Rogers once he got promoted, and that could be the case again in 2025. Rogers also struggled to make consistent contact last season, however, so there could be an opportunity for Dingler's role to grow. The 26-year-old was much better at the Triple-A level last year, as he batted .308 with a .938 OPS across 71 games, which gives some indication that there is more offensive upside to be tapped into. Dingler will be hard to trust as a backup catcher, but he could get on the fantasy map if he overtakes Rogers and starts seeing regular playing time. Read Past Outlooks
Goes yard in first start of season
Dingler went 2-for-5 with a triple, a home run and three RBI in Friday's 8-5 extra-inning loss to the Dodgers.
ANALYSIS
After Jake Rogers got the nod behind the plate in the Tigers' opener Thursday, it was Dingler's turn Friday and he made an immediate impact with his bat when he launched a second-inning solo shot off Yoshinobu Yamamoto. The 26-year-old backstop then nearly played hero with a two-run triple in the top of the 10th, only for Beau Brieske to blow the save in the bottom of the frame. Dingler flashed some big power in the minors, including 17 homers in only 71 games at Triple-A Toledo in 2024, and if the second-round pick in the 2020 First-Year Player Draft gets rolling, he could muscle his way into a significant role for Detroit.

Stat Review
How does Dillon Dingler 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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
The 38th overall pick in the 2020 draft, Dingler is coming off of a decent year with Double-A Erie in 2022. He only batted .238 but showed decent pop with 14 home runs and 58 RBI across 107 games. The 24-year-old looked more comfortable than he did during a 50-game stint at the Double-A level in 2021. That year, Dingler posted a middling .578 OPS, which he was able to boost to .752 in 2022. Looking ahead to 2023, Dingler could push his way to Triple-A at some point and may eventually be an option in the majors. The Tigers have Eric Haase, who will be 30 when the 2023 season begins, as their presumptive starter behind the plate. Tucker Barnhart was the backup in 2022, but he's now a free agent. The team also has Jake Rogers returning after missing all of 2022 following Tommy John surgery. Haase isn't a long-term option, and there's plenty of uncertainty behind him, so Dingler could develop into an MLB starter, provided he continues to play well in the minors.
