2025 Fantasy Outlook
Solano has been a remarkably consistent hitter over the past four seasons, batting between .280 and .286 with an OBP of between .339 and .369 in each of those campaigns. Those are nice numbers, but it's very hard to get excited about the veteran infielder from a fantasy perspective given his lack of production in any other area. While Solano is among baseball's best at hitting the ball at an ideal launch angle -- his 37.0 percent sweet-spot percentage last season was well above average for the sixth straight year -- he simply doesn't strike the ball with enough force to turn that skill into power production. In fact, Solano's eight long balls last year were the most he's ever hit in a big-league campaign. As long as he can continue to hit for average, Solano should have a place on an MLB roster, but there's little room in fantasy for a part-time player with almost no power or speed.

Could see regular at-bats at DH
Solano could see regular at-bats at designated hitter this season, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Mitch Haniger and Mitch Garver (hand) appear to be the most likely candidates to occupy Seattle's DH spot on a daily basis this season, but Jude believes Solano could also get his fair share of action there in addition to the corner infield spots. Of the three players, it's worth noting Garver has stood out the most this spring with three home runs and six RBI in 18 at-bats. The Mariners have plenty of reps to fill in the infield following the offseason exits of both Josh Rojas and Justin Turner on top of moving Ty France at least year's trade deadline, so the versatile Solano could see playing time on the diamond elsewhere even if he doesn't carve out a consistent role at DH.

Stat Review
How does Donovan Solano 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.

Spots are up for grabs around the American League West, including in the Rangers rotation, where the young and talented Kumar Rocker may face an uphill battle to break camp in the majors.

Todd Zola explains how projected playing time and a skills-based approach helps him identify upside plays late in a draft, as well as leading him to put Aaron Judge at the top of his personal rankings.

The NFBC's Postseason Hold'em contest kicks off at the start of the Division Series, and its scoring system leads to some unusual rankings.

Todd Zola provides some player rankings ahead of the playoffs, as Mookie Betts and the Dodgers take MLB's best record into the postseason.

Solano was signed late in the spring as an extra utility option but his bat worked his way into the lineup and he became the primary first baseman for much of the season. "Donnie Barrels" is able to put the bat on the ball as he was in the 99th percentile for hitting the sweet spot on the bat and 87th percentile in xBA (both per Baseball Savant), though curiously 27th percentile in barrel percentage. While Solano can hit for average and has an above-average on-base percentage, he lacks power with just five home runs and a .112 ISO. That's not enough power to play first base for most teams, but the Twins had several injuries at the position. Solano is passable as a second baseman and can play third in a pinch, but his lack of a premium glove limits his upside. He also has little speed to help his fantasy value. He'll compete for a similar utility role this spring.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Reunion with Minnesota?
Solano could be a free-agent target for the Twins, per Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Minnesota has a major hole at first base following the departure of Carlos Santana and the retirement of Alex Kirilloff, and the first-base market has picked up lately with Santana, Christian Walker and Paul Goldschmidt all recently landing deals. Solano, who produced a .760 OPS in each of the past two seasons and spent 2023 with the Twins, has provided an above-average bat in five of the past six seasons. He likely wouldn't fill an everyday role but could be part of a multi-player solution at first base for Minnesota.
