2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Orioles' 101-win season and American League East title was possible in large part due to their collection of young talent starting to blossom. However, they also got some surprise contributions from veterans and O'Hearn is included among that group. The 30-year-old didn't make Baltimore's Opening Day roster but was up for good by early May and was often manager Brandon Hyde's preferred choice at first base versus righties while also seeing some time in the outfield and at designated hitter. O'Hearn put up an impressive 51.5 percent hard-hit rate while also cutting his strikeout rate down to a respectable 22.3 percent. He had posted a lowly .633 OPS over his last four seasons with the Royals, so O'Hearn's track record is working against him. He's earned an initial shot versus righties this season, but the leash will be short. Read Past Outlooks
$8 million club option exercised
The Orioles exercised O'Hearn's $8 million club option for 2025 on Monday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
O'Hearn made $3.5 million in 2024, so he will be getting a nice salary bump in 2025. The 31-year-old has slashed .275/.329/.450 with 29 home runs over 254 regular-season games during his two years in Baltimore. He'll garner regular playing time against right-handed pitching again next season.

O'Hearn has yet to play in more than 105 games or earn more than 370 plate appearances in a single season. The 29-year-old first baseman/designated hitter did very little with his chances in 2022, posting a .239/.290/.321 slash line in 145 plate appearances. He was DFA'd by the Royals and traded to the Orioles this offseason, and he didn't remain on Baltimore's 40-man roster for long. O'Hearn will have to earn his spot on the Orioles' big-league roster, and he may now be nothing more than organizational depth.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Crushing in June
O'Hearn has a .328/.370/.478 slash line with four doubles, two homers, three steals, 14 RBI and eight runs through 20 games in June.
ANALYSIS
The 30-year-old was productive across the first two months of the campaign with seven homers and a .781 OPS, and he's turned things up in June. O'Hearn's .802 OPS through 63 games is the exact same as his figure from 2023, but the process has been noticeably different. The slugger has more than halved his strikeout rate to 10.4 percent and has nearly doubled his walk rate to 8.3 percent. O'Hearn's volume continues to be limited as he has yet to start against a left-handed pitcher in 2024, but he's still a solid fantasy asset since he's batting in the heart of Baltimore's potent lineup versus righties.
