Success in fantasy baseball hinges more on the collective performance of your roster than on standout individuals, unlike fantasy football where one star can define your season. Identifying breakout players is essential, especially those who can exceed expectations. Numerous candidates for significant 2025 performance have been highlighted.

Wyatt Langford of the Texas Rangers demonstrated impressive late-season form, hitting .300 with 8 homers and 7 steals in 2024. Xavier Edwards, a Miami Marlins shortstop, showcases elite speed and an impressive batting average. Connor Norby, another Marlins player, is expected to feature prominently in their lineup. Junior Caminero of the Tampa Bay Rays possesses massive power potential at just 21. Pitchers like Nick Lodolo and José Soriano are set for notable improvements, with high strikeout rates and potential for health in 2025.
