2025 Fantasy Outlook
Whitcomb put up impressive numbers while repeating Triple-A as an older player, but what he did as a 24-year-old at Triple-A in 2023 is probably more instructive for how he'll do against big-league pitching. He slashed .224/.281/.434 with 23 home runs, 12 steals and a 31.1 percent strikeout rate in 87 games at Triple-A in 2023 and followed that up with a .293/.378/.530 slash line, 25 home runs, 26 steals and a 19.8 percent strikeout rate in 108 games at Triple-A in 2024. Whitcomb has above-average power and average speed on the bases, so there's fantasy potential here if his improvements in 2025 were legitimate and not just the product of an older player repeating a level. He turned 26 in September, and hit .220 with zero home runs and zero steals in 46 MLB plate appearances to close the year. If Whitcomb struggles again in the majors, he'll likely be written off due to his age. He can play all over the infield and outfield, but isn't a great defender anywhere, and his likely long-term role is that of a offensive-minded utility player who provides useful counting stats on the rare occasions where he's playing more than a few days per week.
