Colt Keith 2025 Fantasy Baseball Outlook: More Consistent Sophomore Season Will Help Propel ADP Outperformance
24 mins agoDetroit Tigers first baseman Colt Keith had a rollercoaster of a rookie season last year, starting with an atrocious first month where he slashed .154/.222/.165 with zero home runs. His slashline spiked all the way to .322/.404/.644 with seven home runs in July, before leveling off over the final two months. In the end, the former fifth-round draft pick put together a .260-13-61-54-7 line with a .301 wOBA and 97 wRC+. With a power profile such as his, he underwhelmed in the home run department, but look for that to improve in 2025 with a full season in the big leagues under his belt, especially given that the 23-year-old struck out at less than the league average rate (19.8 percent vs. 22.6 percent), indicating he was not overmatched. While he could underperform relative to other first basemen, he'll begin the season eligible at second base only on Yahoo, and if he can regain the power stroke he displayed in the minors, the left-handed hitter could be a valuable fantasy asset relative to others at the keystone. RotoBaller likes Keith at 219 overall, well ahead of his NFBC ADP of 238.
