Outfielders are the backbone of fantasy baseball rosters, providing a mix of power, speed, and consistency. Whether you’re building your team around a first-round superstar or hunting for late-round value, selecting the right outfielders can be the difference between winning your league and finishing in the middle of the pack.

For the 2025 fantasy baseball season, the outfield position remains deep, featuring a blend of established veterans, emerging stars, and exciting young players poised for breakout seasons. This article takes a deep dive into the top 30 outfielders for 2025, breaking them down into tiers based on expected production, consistency, and upside.

Tier 1: Elite Outfielders (1-10) – The Superstars

These players are first-round or early second-round picks, offering elite production in multiple categories.

1. Aaron Judge (New York Yankees)
   • 2025 Projected Stats: .318 AVG, 58 HR, 136 RBI, 10 SB
   • Why He’s Elite?: This one needs no explanation. As long as he’s healthy, Judge will compete for the triple crown once again. His elite power and occasional speed makes him an easy top 5 pick for the 2025 fantasy season.
2. Kyle Tucker (Chicago Cubs)
   • 2025 Projected Stats: .285 AVG, 32 HR, 104 RBI, 31 SB
   • Why He’s Elite?: Tucker is a balanced fantasy start. Transitioning to a new team, Tucker should anchor a young Cubs roster, and gives you the ability to have 30+ home runs, 20+ steals, and 100+ RBIs.
3. Juan Soto (New York Mets)
   • 2025 Projected Stats: .292 AVG, 36 HR, 103 RBI, 8 SB
   • Why He’s Elite?: There is a reason why the Mets signed him for $765 million this offseason, and it wasn’t for his defense. His elite ability to hit for contact and power makes him a no brainer for a first round pick. He will contribute in batting average, runs and runs scored, and home runs, with the ability to steal a few bases as well.
4. Yordan Alvarez (Houston Astros)
   • 2025 Projected Stats: .302 AVG, 35 HR, 95 RBI, 4 SB
   • Why He’s Elite?: While he lacks speed, Alvarez is one of the most elite power hitters in baseball. His batting average and RBI potential make him a strong second round pick.
5. Fernando Tatis Jr. (San Diego Padres)
   • 2025 Projected Stats: .284 AVG, 32 HR, 84 RBI, 25 SB
   • Why He’s Elite?: All the potential in the world is there for Tatis Jr. He has elite power and speed and is more than capable of putting together a 30-30 season. If he is able to avoid injury, he can quickly climb up this list.
6. Julio Rodriguez (Seattle Mariners)
   • 2025 Projected Stats: .280 AVG, 30 HR, 90 RBI, 30 SB
   • Why He’s Elite?: At just 24 years old, Rodriguez is one of the brightest young stars in baseball. His combination of power, speed, and improving plate discipline makes him an elite fantasy pick in drafts. Though he struggled out of the gate last year, he finished the season in strong form. Look for that to continue here in 2025.
7. Corbin Carroll (Arizona Diamondbacks)
   • 2025 Projected Stats: .270 AVG, 24 HR, 78 RBI, 46 SB
   • Why He’s Elite?: It will be interesting to see where Carroll’s numbers end up at the end of the season. He is one of the most exciting young players in the game and has also showed signs of struggling. Carroll is a speed demon with developing power. If he is able to improve his on base percentage, you are looking at a consensus top 3 fantasy outfielder.
8. Jarren Duran (Boston Red Sox)
   • 2025 Projected Stats: .292 AVG, 20 HR, 76 RBI, 35 SB
   • Why He’s Elite?: Duran proved himself to be a valuable fantasy asset last year. His above average power and elite speed makes him a top 10 pick in fantasy this year. He has the ability to be a 30-30 guy and is worth an early round pick in this years draft.
9. Jackson Chourio (Milwaukee Brewers)
   • 2025 Projected Stats: .284 AVG, 24 HR, 80 RBI, 28 SB
   • Why He’s Elite?: Chourio’s long awaited arrival to the big leagues did not disappoint last year. He lived up to the hype and then some. His elite power and speed should make him a fantasy superstar for years to come. As he becomes more accustomed to big league pitching, expect a steady improvement in his on base percentage as well.
10. Ronald Acuna Jr. (Atlanta Braves)
    • 2025 Projected Stats: .288 AVG, 18 HR, 68 RBI, 22 SB
    • Why He’s Elite?: As of today, there is no set date that Acuna is expected back from his ACL injury. At his best, he is number 1 on this list. The uncertainty is how long fantasy owners might have to wait to be able to insert him into their lineups.

Tier 2: Strong Starters (11-20) – Reliable Stars

1. Jackson Merrill ( San Diego Padres)
   • 2025 Projected Stats: .284 AVG, 22 HR, 82 RBI, 14 SB
   • Why You Should Draft Him?: Merrill is another one of the rising stars in this league and will be a fantasy superstar for years to come. He has 30-30 capability and is consistent with his bat.
2. Teoscar Hernandez (Los Angeles Dodgers)
   • 2025 Projected Stats: .268 AVG, 29 HR, 95 RBI, 8 SB
   • Why You Should Draft Him?: Hernandez shined in his first season in LA, hitting the most home runs in his career, as well as stealing the most bases in his career. He will continue to thrive in an absolutely loaded Dodgers lineup this year.
3. Lawrence Butler (Athletics)
   • 2025 Projected Stats: .262 AVG, 25 HR, 64 RBI, 22 SB
   • Why You Should Draft Him?: Butler showed glimpses of a top 10 fantasy outfielder last year. His combination of plus speed and power is why he will go in the early rounds. We might be a little high in our rankings with him, but we do believe he will be a difference maker.
4. Brent Rooker (Athletics)
   • 2025 Projected Stats: .270 AVG, 32 HR, 88 RBI, 8 SB
   • Why You Should Draft Him?: Rooker has shown consistent power numbers now the past 2 seasons and should continue to improve his on base percentage. Expect a little regression from last year’s numbers but 30 HR this season should be the floor for him.
5. Teoscar Hernandez (Los Angeles Dodgers)
   • 2025 Projected Stats: .265 AVG, 31 HR, 94 RBI, 8 SB
   • Why You Should Draft Him: Hernandez enjoyed a great season in his first season in LA. He should continue to thrive in an absolutely stacked Dodgers lineup. Any stolen bases he is able to give you is a bonus to the power he brings to the table.
6. Kyle Schwarber (Philadelphia Phillies)
   • 2025 Projected Stats: .240 AVG, 44 HR, 106 RBI, 4 SB
   • Why You Should Draft Him?: If Schwarber could just cut back on his strikeouts he would be a top 10 consensus pick. Unfortunaltey you can pretty much pencil him in for 200k’s a year at this point. That said, his power in home runs and RBI’s is elite and will continue to be elite.
7. Michael Harris II (Atlanta Braves)
   • 2025 Projected Stats: .296 AVG, 21 HR, 68 RBI, 24 SB
   • Why You Should Draft Him?: Finding players in the middle round that will give you the ability to have a 20/20 season while hitting .300 are not easy to come by. If Harris II hits towards the top of a powerful Braves lineup, you could see an even higher ceiling for him.
8. Brenton Doyle (Colorado Rockies)
   • 2025 Projected Stats: .252 AVG, 24 HR, 75 RBI, 26 SB
   • Why You Should Draft Him?: Any time you can get a player who plays at Coor’s that has speed in addition to his power is never a bad choice. Another 20/20 candidate that you can look to pick up in the middle rounds.
9. Bryan Reynolds (Pittsburgh Pirates)
   • 2025 Projected Stats: .270 AVG, 26 HR, 80 RBI, 12 SB
   • Why You Should Draft Him?: Reynolds is an anchor in a Pirates lineup that needs him to generate runs to win. He has been a model of consistency across all offensive numbers, and that trend should continue here in 2025.
10. Anthony Santander (Toronto Blue Jays)
    • 2025 Projected Stats: .240 AVG, 34 HR, 87 RBI, 2 SB
    • Why You Should Draft Him?: Santander moves north of the border in his first season with the Blue Jays. Similar to Schwarber, Santander gives you elite numbers in both power and RBI’s, but will hold you back in the on base percentage categories.

1. Ian Happ (Chicago Cubs)
2. Wyatt Langford (Texas Rangers)
3. Christian Yelich (Milwaukee Brewers)
4. James Wood (Washington Nationals)
