Jung Hoo Lee 2025 Fantasy Baseball Outlook: Limited Upside In The Later Rounds
5 mins agoSan Francisco Giants outfielder Jung Hoo Lee's rookie season was cut short after he tore his labrum in the middle of May. Lee was off to a solid start in his first season, getting on base in 32 of his first 37 games before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury. Before that injury, the left-handed-hitting outfielder had a .262 batting average with four doubles, two home runs, eight RBI, two stolen bases, and 10 walks atop San Francisco's lineup. Even though the 26-year-old will be back to full strength for the 2025 season, he doesn't have much fantasy upside. Lee will likely hit for a high average and could steal double-digit bases this year, but he probably won't contribute much in other categories. Across 37 games last season, the Japanese native had a 4.5% barrel rate, a 6.3% walk rate, and a .404 expected slugging percentage. As a result, fantasy managers shouldn't expect the Giants outfielder to hit for much power in 2025. If you are looking for a player who could hit for a high average and not strike out a ton, though, Lee could be a nice target in the later rounds. He currently has a 239.74 ADP in NFBC leagues.
