24-Year-Old OutfielderOF
Philadelphia Phillies
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Rojas showed speed and good defense in his 59-game debut back in 2023, but his .302 average was propped up by a clearly unsustainable .410 BABIP. There were doubts about whether he'd be a viable glove-first regular once the batted-ball luck dried up, but the Phillies decided the center field job was his to lose. Lose it he did, on multiple occasions, including a brief return to the minors in late June. All told, he slashed just .243/.279/.322 and homered a mere three times in 363 plate appearances, with his 27.4% hard hit rate suggesting that there's unlikely to ever be meaningful power in his bat. Still, it's far too early to give up on Rojas heading into his age-24 season. His 25 steals reinforce the idea that he'd be right up there with the league leaders if his bat can just get to passable. He did make some improvements at the plate, cutting his chase rate from 41.5% to 35.7% and slashing his strikeout rate from 25.6% to 19.0%. You can still squint and see quite a good speed-and-defense center fielder here, but his current profile looks like a fourth outfielder. Read Past Outlooks

Ready to play outfield

March 20, 2025
Rojas (shoulder) is starting in center field and batting leadoff in Thursday's Grapefruit League contest against Atlanta, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
ANALYSIS
Rojas had been limited to designated hitter duty after suffering a right shoulder injury during the Dominican Winter League, but he's been throwing without issue lately and is finally ready to play the field. The defensive ace is expected to operate as the Phillies' fourth outfielder this season.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Rojas had been one of the Phillies' most interesting prospects for a handful of seasons, but he didn't appear to be on the threshold of making a difference for the big-league club last offseason, as he'd reached Double-A for 60 games in 2022 but posted a forgettable 100 wRC+. He was sent back to the same level to open 2023, and his wRC+ jumped to 131 in 76 games, the product of a .306/.361/.484 slash line. That performance earned him a call-up at the start of the second half, and he didn't look back, hitting .302/.342/.430 while starting 40 of the final 72 games. He also went 14-of-15 on the basepaths. While the emergence of a young prospect with speed, contact ability and an excellent glove in center is undeniably exciting for the Phillies, the team pumped the brakes on the hype train by indicating he'll have to fight for the center field job this spring. It took a .410 BABIP to get him to his strong rookie slash line, and his 3.0 percent walk rate and 25.6 percent strikeout rate make for a very worrying combination. He also managed a pitiful 28.3 percent hard-hit rate. Rojas' speed and defense prop up his floor in both fantasy and real life, but his bat may not be ready quite yet despite his 2023 numbers.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Trade on horizon?
OFPhiladelphia Phillies
October 12, 2024
According to Matt Gelb of The Athletic, the Phillies could look to trade Rojas during the offseason.
ANALYSIS
The 24-year-old opened the campaign as Philadelphia's primary center fielder, but he struggled to a .601 OPS in 363 plate appearances after posting a .772 OPS in 59 games as a rookie in 2023. Rojas is cost controlled and still has plenty of upside, but the Phillies need more offensively from their outfielders. Rojas could enjoy a better fit, and a more regular role, with another organization.
