Baseball metrics are crucial for evaluating player performance, especially for fantasy managers. One emerging stat, EV50, measures the average exit velocity of the hardest 50% of a player's batted balls, providing insights into power potential. In 2024, only 23 out of 405 hitters achieved an EV50 of over 103 mph and an average exit velocity on flyballs and line drives of 96 mph, signaling they are players to watch for power output in 2025.

Highlighted are James Wood from the Washington Nationals, Junior Caminero of the Tampa Bay Rays, and Matt Chapman of the San Francisco Giants. Wood, while dealing with groundball issues, has shown great potential with a 20% home run rate. Caminero, whose ADP is climbing, may benefit from a hitter-friendly park environment, while Chapman consistently ranks among the elite power hitters. Other mentions, like Heliot Ramos and Tyler Soderstrom, also show promising signs for power production.
