Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
It was a tale of two seasons for Wade, who appeared primed for a career year with a .329/.462/.445 slash line through 57 games but labored to a .638 OPS in the final 60 contests. Overall he hit just eight home runs in 117 games, with a 15.8 percent walk rate carrying a lot of his offensive value. His patience at the plate isn't a new attribute, as he has a double-digit walk rate in three of his four seasons with the Giants. A .331 BABIP may not be sustainable, but his career-best 43.7 percent hard-hit rate was encouraging and resulted in a .437 xSLG, which was notably better than his actual slugging figure of .381. Wade's fantasy value is limited outside of OBP leagues, but his solid average could come in handy for streamers if he's able to turn some of that strong contact back into home runs, which he's shown he can do at times with two campaigns in which he sniffed 20 long balls (he hit 18 and 17 home runs in 2021 and 2023, respectively). His .840 OPS against left-handed pitching was a stark improvement and could help him avoid a platoon at first base if he's able to sustain it. Read Past Outlooks
Likely to bat leadoff vs. righties
Wade is expected to begin the regular season batting leadoff against right-handed pitchers, Maria Guardado of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
While Wade doesn't possess the speed of a prototypical leadoff batter, his ability to draw walks has made him a top candidate for the role. The 31-year-old's .219 batting average during spring training is unimpressive, though he has drawn 10 walks, resulting in a .422 on-base percentage. "He's got that kind of eye," manager Bob Melvin said Tuesday. "It's really unique in the game. We're seeing it again this spring. We feel pretty good about him in the leadoff spot." Wade has primarily been utilized at first base but made five starts in the outfield last season. If he bats leadoff against right-handed pitchers, Jung Hoo Lee will likely slide into the three-hole.

Stat Review
How does LaMonte Wade 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.

A string of knee issues derailed Wade in 2022 and prevented him from building on his breakout showing with the Giants from 2021, but he managed to stay mostly healthy in 2023 and returned to form as a reliable leadoff presence for San Francisco. He registered a .373 on-base percentage, which ranked 13th-best among all qualified major-league hitters, and he struck out only 95 times in 519 plate appearances while drawing 76 walks. Wade doesn't have a ton of raw power -- he finished in just the 32nd percentile last year in average exit velocity -- but the 30-year-old first baseman and corner outfielder should continue to be a fairly appealing option in OBP leagues and might be worthy of late-round or waiver-wire consideration in standard formats for his potential to rack up runs scored. It's worth nothing, however, that the offseason arrival of Jung Hoo Lee could seriously curtail Wade's tablesetting opportunities.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Trade target for Pittsburgh?
According to John Perrotto of PittsburghBaseballNow.com, Wade "could be of interest" as a trade target for the Pirates.
ANALYSIS
Pittsburgh has had a revolving door at first base over the past few years, and Wade would provide short-term stability without costing a major prospect package. The 30-year-old had a .260/.380/.381 slash line in 117 games during 2024 and is entering his final year of arbitration eligibility.
