Josh Jung 2025 Fantasy Baseball Outlook: Power Upside Is There If He Can Stay Healthy
16 mins agoTexas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung (wrist) missed most of the first four months of the season after fracturing his wrist in April. He had a follow-up procedure in October and will enter spring training with a clean bill of health. Jung started off the season hot, hitting .412 (7-for-19) with two homers and six RBI over four games before fracturing his wrist. Overall, Jung slashed .264/.298/.421 with seven home runs, 16 RBI, and four stolen bases across 188 plate appearances in 2024. The 26-year-old can't stay healthy throughout his career and has been limited to just 168 games over the last two seasons. Jung is turning 27 this year and still carries plenty of upside. His power is elite, evidenced by his 35 home runs over 192 games and a career 11.2 barrel percentage. He has an NFBC ADP of 215.51 overall as the 17th third baseman selected off draft boards. ATC projects Jung to hit 21 home runs and steal six bases over 122 games, making him a solid pick around that range. He is currently ranked 210 overall in the latest RotoBaller rankings, which aligns with his ADP. Health is the biggest question mark for Jung, but the upside is worth taking him at his current price tag.
