2025 Player Outlook

Kiner-Falefa provides fantasy managers with a ton of versatility when setting lineups, as he has eligibility at numerous positions including second base, third base, and shortstop. However, he’s somewhat of a jack-of-all-trades for fantasy purposes, but one could argue he’s not really impactful in any category. His biggest contribution in a category likely comes in terms of stolen bases this year, as he’ll get enough ABs to get into the mid-to-upper teens, and should hit ahead of Bryan Reynolds, Oneil Cruz, etc. I don’t know if he’ll occupy the leadoff spot all year long, as his OBP isn’t what you want at the top of the order. He’s a better player in reality than in fantasy, but if you need the ABs and some cheap speed in NL-only formats, Kiner-Falefa may be able to help you out there.
