Jarren Duran 2025 Player Outlook: Speedy Outfielder To Prove 2024 Breakout Was For Real
11 mins agoBoston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran was having a successful 2023 campaign before a toe injury prematurely ended his season, but he carried that momentum into 2024, earning his first All-Star selection in what was a full-on breakout season. The former seventh-round draft pick tallied a .285-21-75-111-34 line with a .357 wOBA, 129 wRC+, and led all of MLB in doubles (48) and triples (14). The left-handed hitter also finished in the top 10 in all of baseball in hits, total bases, and runs scored. As the Red Sox leadoff hitter, combined with his 96th-percentile sprint speed, slightly above-average 78.1% contact rate, and 9.1% barrel rate, fantasy managers should expect more of the same in 2025. With no significant drop-off in batting average or home runs expected, the 28-year-old will produce across all relevant fantasy categories, providing an added emphasis on runs and stolen bases. RotoBaller ranks the 2024 All-Star Game MVP at 23 overall, right where his NFBC ADP currently stands.
