2025 Player Outlook

If you ignore his .214 batting average last season, Hoskins was his usual self last year. He hit 26 home runs, drove in 82 runners, but a career-high 28.8 percent strikeout rate, .250 BABIP, and elevated 24.8 percent O-Swing rate tanked his batting average. In 2025, he’ll be the everyday first baseman for Milwaukee, and his power output in the mid-to-upper twenties is a safe projection, and his batting average should be closer to .240 than .210 in 2025. For someone going outside the top 20 players at his position and outside the top 275 overall, there’s some value to be had with Hoskins in this Milwaukee lineup.
