2025 Fantasy Outlook
It wasn't always pretty, but Steer turned in a 20-20 season while leading the Reds with 92 RBI. He seemed to run out of gas at the end, limping to a .165 average in September, which dragged him down to just .225 for the season. Steer's strikeout rate remained identical to his 2023 mark at 20.9% and he added a couple points to his hard-hit rate. However, his BABIP cratered from .318 to .260. His relatively pull-heavy approach from the right side makes him a nice fit in Great American Ball Park, but his batted-ball profile is underwhelming and the band box doesn't completely hide his flaws. While he's now lost third-base eligibility in fantasy baseball, Steer retains eligibility at first base and outfield entering his age-27 season in 2025. In theory, Steer and the entire Reds team should benefit from new manager Terry Francona's experience and expertise. Read Past Outlooks
Resting Saturday
Steer isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus San Francisco.
ANALYSIS
After an 0-for-4 performance on Opening Day that saw Steer strike out three times, the 27-year-old will step out of the lineup Saturday. Jeimer Candelario will serve as Cincinnati's designated hitter instead, opening up third base for Santiago Espinal.

Stat Review
How does Spencer Steer 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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Steer tends to be overshadowed a bit in the Reds' rebuild, as he doesn't have the power of Christian Encarnacion-Strand or the speed of Elly De La Cruz or the hit tool of Matt McLain. However, Steer does a lot well and showed in his first full season in Cincinnati that he has the potential to be a long-term foundational piece for the organization. At 25 years old, Steer struck out just over 20 percent of the time and notched 23 homers and 15 steals while moving around between first base (73 games), third base (47 games), outfield (47 games) and second base (16 games). While he may not light up Statcast with his batted-ball numbers -- in fact Steer ranked in the bottom 26 percent of the league in hard-hit rate -- he has an exceptional approach at the plate and does not often go chasing outside the strike zone. He had more homers and a higher OPS on the road than he did at home last season, so it wasn't all GABP-driven.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Made available via trade
The Reds have made Steer available for trade, Jack Azoulay-Haron of MLB Nerds reports.
ANALYSIS
Azoulay-Haron writes that several teams have reached out to the Reds expressing interest in Steer, including one team from the American League East and one from the National League West. The 27-year-old Steer is not eligible for salary arbitration until next offseason, so there wouldn't seem to be any need for the Reds to rush into trading him. He slashed .225/.319/.402 with 20 home runs and 25 stolen bases in 2024.
