The MLB 2025 season officially started with cubs and dodgers in Japan, but we are still in the heart of the fantastic baseball draft. With this mind, we decided to bring Rotoworld’s baseball staff together to get their Intel on the players they most wrote this spring.
Our fantastic analysts spend a lot of time in the offseason by thinking of players could be ready for a season of small groups, whether due to opportunities, underlying skills or simply to enhance their medium recovery position. It is one thing to write about it, but it is another to go out and execute in a real project. This is why this exercise has weight.
We hope this will help you direct your drafts this week.

Rotoworld’s most written players for 2025
Bowden Francis SP / RP, Blue Jays
For me, it’s Bowden Francis. It is actually one of the seven guys, of which I have 100% of the first 3 or four drafts and I have already written on Verlander. Francis was a dominant force in 2024 once he finally received a full -time shot in the rotation of the Jays – going 4-2 with an MPM of 1.53 and an unfathomable whip of 0.53 and a ratio of 56/7 k / bb more than 59 rounds in nine starts after having rotated August 7. Skills profile that brings me to believe that he cannot be an elite launcher for fantastic purposes. The biggest concern here will be the jump of the workload after launching only 123 rounds between the Jays and Triple-A Buffalo in 2024. During the first eight projects of main events of the NFBC, he held an ADP of 262 and I fully believe that he will make a substantial profit of this place in the project. – David Shovein
Victor Robles de, Mariners
There is an extreme reluctance on the part of fantastic managers to believe that the unexpected metamorphosis of Seattle de Robles was not a mirage simply because they have been burned several times in the past. The former 27 -year -old hope failed to meet these astronomical expectations for almost a decade with nationals, but things immediately clicked with sailors where he had an increase in hard contact, began to withdraw less and run with reckless assault on the basic forces. It is probably a section to predict the two -digit circuits, but Robles seems to have finally arrived as a fancy contributor to four categories who has just penetrated his first. He is ready to direct the navies before the generational talent Julio Rodríguez and has a legitimate advantage of 50 flights after having succeeded in 30 flights in just 77 competitions last year in Seattle. It is one of the best values of the whole fantastic landscape this spring as a Voltiger of the top-50 limits the day of the draft. – George Bissell
Gavin Williams Rhp, Guardians
I have Williams on almost 100% of my teams and I wrote too many articles about this dead season, so I am dangerously all-in. The short version of the reason why I believe that Williams is in a big year is linked to three things. To start, he is a 25 -year -old who was a high -end hope. It is a former draft choice in the first round which displayed a withdrawal rate of 33.1% in 115 heaps of a minor league in 2022 and a bar of 34.3% in 60.1 rounds in 2023 before its MLB call. We know that 2024 was affected by an elbow injury which delayed its start to the season; However, Williams has no other red flags of injury and claims to be healthy after in-depth physical therapy during the dead. He also resolved the mechanical problems that resulted from this injury, leading to an increase in vertical movements on his rapid ball and his refined shape on his cursor. He also plans to bring back the cutter last year, which gives him more secondary to go with a quick elite ball. It is a recipe for success for me. – Eric Samulski
The mechanical adjustments of Gavin Williams could lead to a breaking season in 2025
Eric Samulski looks at the changes of off -season for the Starter of the Guardians, Gavin Williams, who makes him a fantastic target.
Garrett Mitchell de, Brewers
The injuries have hampered the development of Mitchell, but even so, he has hitherto struck. 264 with 13 circuits and 20 interceptions in 365 plates as a major feature. Brewers are counting on him as an ordinary central field player and will probably start with him, no less than the fifth against right -handers. Mitchell still needs to work for the loss of stick withdraws, but health continues and everyday bats will probably help you. He has a first-rate bat speed, and he does not often pursue bad terrains. There is enough potential of five categories to make him a fantastic steering wheel of the top 25 this year, but he can still be had at the end of mixed league projects. – Matthew Pouliot
Heliot Ramos de, giants
Very tuned perspective for several years, Ramos finally broke out with the Giants in 2024, reducing .269 / .322 / .469 with 22 circuits, 72 products produced and six interceptions on 518 plaques appearances, winning all-star honors. Its improved contact rate came with high -level hit measurements, including a barrel rate of 14.5% which supports its power and gives it an advantage of 30 homous. While the 25 -year -old voltiseur had drastic divisions, crushing the ceiling on the left to an OPS of 1.189, its withdrawal rate of 26.8% and 47.3% of hard rates suggest that it can certainly improve against right -handers. There is a good chance that it will lead against left -handers, which can lead to a few more stolen basic opportunities. He has already shown a desire to run this spring with a few interceptions. And the scales of a certain speed with a lot of power would make him an incredible value at his current cost of around 200. Ramos profiles in the same way as someone like Riley Greene, another choice of escape during the writing of several laps earlier. – Jorge Montnez
Andres Muñoz RP, Mariners
Sometimes I find that “Player X has a new argument” Talk to is a boring Smidgen. But whether it is because I am cursed to be a fan of sailor or something else, I cannot stop looking at the new change of Munoz; A step that would have shown 10 inches of vertical fall. He will combine this ground with a quick ball that always affects 101 mph, and one of the best baseball cursors. It seems quite good to me, and yet I was able to write Munoz outside the top 100 in several leagues this year, which does not make sense. He is locked up as the closest to a closer Seattle team – although defective -, and we are talking about a launcher who ranked in the 99th centile to generate swings and missions with a percentage of Whiff of 39.6, and keep in mind that he made it before introducing this new change. Of course, there is a chance that Munoz does not have all the backup opportunities for Seattle, but it is true for each lifter of modern baseball. It is one of the first five closer to me, and the fact that you can put it as the second closer is both confusing and a real chance of winning the category of backups. – Christopher Crawford
A look at the situation of the enclosure of the LEVERS of each MLB team in the 2025 season.
Reese Olson SP, Tigers
Olson has a lot for him. He was on his way to a real season in small groups in 2024 with an MPM of 3.23 and 1.18 whip on 103 sleeves before a shoulder injury took a large part of his season. He returned in September and gave Tigers some solid releases in the playoffs, so health is not a concern before this season. In addition, it has an incredible combination of out -speeding terrains with its cursor and change. The cursor works incredibly well with its lead against right -handed strikers and forced a 50.9% odor rate against them last season. Its change also obtained more than 50% puffs against right -handers, but was more precious than its exterior against left -handers. The two work well to hide its fast quality fast balls and their control of each is so good that it can start each at any striker. This also helps that he calls Comerica Park – one of the best launcher parks in the league – at home. Until now, this spring, he has launched a stronger check and experienced more with his curve. All incremental improvements could catapult him in the discussion of the start-30 start launcher and his floor looks like a type of Fringingy Top-50 arm. During the last week, he was drafted like the 66th launcher leaving for the NFBC and I was happy to jump this price and trust him in the middle of my rotation. I see a Tanner Bibee-Light here. – James Schiano
Paul Goldschmidt 1B, Yankees
Goldschmidt struck 0.230 in the first half of 2024, but rebounded with an average of .270 in the second half. He entered his 37 -year season, but the first base player is not yet over. According to the baseball forecastist, Goldschmidt had 28 xHR in 2024 compared to the 22 real circuits he struck. He has played at least 151 games in each of the last three seasons. The Goldschmidt ADP remained around 180 for the whole stroke. He goes around Michael Toglia, who could sink your average in the stick. Goldschmidt, on the other hand, can provide a bit of everything. Its total race should be solid in the middle of the Yankees range and there is a chance that we will get a last year of vintage Goldschmidt. – Nick Shlain
