2025 Fantasy Outlook
Injuries marred Friedl's 2024 season, though he still managed 13 homers and nine steals in 85 games. An ill-fated dive in spring training resulted in a fractured right wrist and he fractured his left thumb on a hit-by-pitch in his first week back from the injured list in May. Essentially it was a nightmare start for Friedl and the Reds, and it wasn't over yet; he hit the IL again in June with a hamstring injury. After bursting onto the scene with 18 homers, 27 steals and an .819 OPS in 2023, Friedl's performance fell off around the injuries last season. Signed as an undrafted free agent in 2016, Friedl has made a career out of proving people wrong, and he will have to continue to do so because the underlying numbers don't exactly portend good things. Already 29 years old, Friedl will have to make the most of his contact skills and speed to maintain everyday playing time for a Reds team with heightened expectations entering 2025.

Stat Review
How does TJ Friedl 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.

While he may not look the part, Friedl became a fantasy darling last season with a .279/.352/.467 line, 18 homers and 27 steals in 556 plate appearances. He projects to be the Reds' everyday center fielder after a surprising 4.4 fWAR season, but Friedl will continue to have his doubters even with his high contact rate given the fact that his xSLG, average exit velocity and barrel rate all ranked in the bottom seven percent of the league, among other reasons. Friedl did a disproportionate amount of his damage at home, managing a .724 OPS on the road. He hit lefty pitching well, but he was rather fortunate in that regard (.425 BABIP) and some giveback against same-side pitching should be expected. Signed in 2016 as an undrafted free agent -- there were 40 rounds back in 2016 -- Friedl has made a career out of proving people wrong. If he continues to do so, he will reach folk hero status in Cincinnati and fantasy circles.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Superficial pop
Friedl's .446 slugging percentage is vastly outperforming his .313 xSLG.
ANALYSIS
Friedl's 10 home runs is a modest total that seems on par given that he's pulled every homer to his strong side of the field. However, the 27-year-old's .240/.283/.313 expected slash line pales significantly in comparison to his actual .282/.349/.446 production through 364 plate appearances. He's worth monitoring as a regression candidate.
