Bo Bichette: Is A Rebound Possible in 2025?
2 days agoToronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette is looking for a bounce-back season in 2025. Bichette had by all accounts a down year in 2024, hitting .225 with four home runs, 31 RBI, five stolen bases, and 29 runs scored. The veteran played in only 81 games last year due to a myriad of injuries, the largest being a calf strain that kept him out eight weeks, and a broken finger on his right hand that ended his season prematurely in 2024. The concern here for returning to his prior levels is that his home run and stolen base numbers have decreased annually since his 2021 breakout of .298/29/102/121/25. At only 26, there seems to be evidence that Bichette could recover the outstanding batting average and settle into a double-digit performer in both home runs and stolen bases. His current ADP is 143, so Bichette is most likely a value play at the middle infield position in the tenth round as the 14th shortstop off the board.
