Carlos Correa 2025 Fantasy Baseball Outlook: Still A Stud Hitter When Healthy
Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa looked like the best version of himself in 2024 before plantar fasciitis forced him out for most of the second half. He ended up slashing .310/.388/.517 with 14 home runs, 54 RBI, and 55 runs in 86 games. This equates to 103 runs, 26 home runs, and 101 RBI on a 162-game pace, so it's safe to say he was a very productive fantasy player when he was healthy. His expected stats backed up his performance as an elite hitter, as his .358 xwOBA (90th percentile), .278 xBA (89th percentile), and .455 xSLG (78th percentile) were all better marks than we've seen from him in a long time. Even his 16.6% strikeout rate was the best of his career, and he continued to walk at a solid 10.9% clip. The main question will be his health, but there is no risk taking him at his current NFBC ADP of 245, which aligns with his overall ranking of 239 at RotoBaller. ATC is projecting Correa to regress in batting average and projects him to slash .266/.349/.446 with 18 home runs, 63 RBI, and 68 runs over 519 plate appearances. His per-game production will be far better than that ADP suggests, and there is little downside to taking a shot on him in one of the last rounds of the draft.
