Josh Naylor is poised for an intriguing fantasy season with the Arizona Diamondbacks following a breakout 2024 campaign. With career-highs across the board, including 31 home runs and 108 RBIs, Naylor has proven his potential as a valuable first base asset. Although his batting average dipped significantly in May to .186 and showed some inconsistency in July and September, his overall performance suggests he can maintain power numbers with a solid on-base approach.

Naylor finished the last season strong, highlighted by impressive first-half statistics that included 20 homers and 61 RBIs in just 289 at-bats. His strikeout and walk rates are favorable, hinting at a strong approach at the plate. However, concerns about his contact ability and exit velocity persist, which could impact his long-term value. Projecting 80 runs, 25 home runs, and 90 RBIs in 2025 seems reasonable, especially with the Diamondbacks' robust offense that led the majors in scoring last year.
