2025 Fantasy Outlook
It took four seasons, but Suzuki finally came through on the power numbers fantasy managers and Chicago fans were pining for as the slugger came over from the JPL prior to the 2022 season. Suzuki leaned into a heavier elevate and celebrate approach as career highs in Pull% and FlyBall% led to career-best totals in home runs and RBIs. The new approach came with the tax of his batting average, which delclined nearly 40 points from where it had been the two seasons prior, which simply dropped his batting average down to a league-average level.The trade-off for increased run production was likely worth it to many fantasy managers who also enjoyed Suzuki avoiding the injured list for the first time in his major league career. He now enters the final year of his initial contract with the Cubs, so if you are a believer in contract year magic, especially after watching what Kyle Schwarber just did in his walk year, this is a 2026 target for you. Realistically, his 2025 performance is repeatable while 40 homers would be a super stretch goal. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a five-year, $85 million contract with the Cubs in March of 2022.
Finishes postseason with three HR
Suzuki went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday in a Game 5 loss to Milwaukee in the NLDS.
Analysis
Suzuki accounted for Chicago's only run with a solo shot off Jacob Misiorowski in the second inning. That long ball temporarily tied the game, but the Brewers scored twice more to emerge with the 3-1 series-clinching victory. Suzuki led the Cubs with five RBI over eight postseason games while knocking three doubles and three homers among his seven hits. He also scored four runs but posted a 1:10 BB:K.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
An oblique injury, suffered early in spring training, put Suzuki on the injured list to begin the 2023 season. He then endured some ups and downs in the first half, bottoming out with a .475 OPS in the month of June, before exploding for a .313/.372/.566 line and 13 home runs after the All-Star break. He finished with a 126 wRC+ for the season (100 is average). Pretty much everything was up for Suzuki across the board from his debut season in MLB after a storied career in his native Japan, with the exception being steals as his total fell to from nine to six even with more playing time and the rule changes benefitting stolen bases. While speed isn't a huge part of his game, there may still be some sleeper potential here if you believe in his second-half surge. Suzuki, now 29, projects to remain a near-everyday outfielder and middle-of-the-order presence under new Cubs manager Craig Counsell.
