Bold predictions dominate the latest Locked on Fantasy Baseball episode, as hosts Dominic Martino and Matthew M. share their thoughts on key players for the 2025 season. The debate centers around Michael Harris II, with one host expressing skepticism about his potential, citing a lack of consistent production and a stacked lineup limiting his opportunities. In contrast, the other host predicts a breakout year for Harris, projecting him to hit 25 home runs, steal 35 bases, and maintain a .295 batting average.

Tanner Biby is positioned as a future top-12 pitcher, thanks to impressive statistics from previous seasons and significant development in his pitch arsenal. Meanwhile, Marcus Semien's age and declining performance spark speculation that he may no longer be a top-10 second baseman by 2025. The episode also highlights Spencer Strider’s potential to be the top starting pitcher this year, alongside rookie sensations like James Wood, who is forecasted to make a significant impact in stolen bases and home runs.

The outfielder review segment of the Locked On Fantasy Baseball podcast provides in-depth rankings and analysis for the upcoming fantasy season. With names like Ronald Acuña Jr., Jazz Chisholm Jr., and Mike Trout highlighted, the hosts dive into their performance metrics and projected outcomes, creating a dynamic debate over the flourishing potential of younger talent versus seasoned veterans. Michael Harris's age and speed are emphasized as key advantages, while Trout's lingering health concerns pose a risk that could overshadow his storied career. The discussion also touches on emerging stars like Lawrence Butler from the Athletics, who carries significant breakout potential this year.
