Baldwin leads catchers? Alcantara is back? Cam Smith a top-50 bat? Don't be surprised
"Baldwin, in his second season, is well on his way to doing something at least like that -- and perhaps with far more batting average. Baldwin plays every day, either behind the plate or at designated hitter, as the Braves lack a regular DH."
"Raleigh is gonna 'Raleigh' this season, but c'mon, he isn't hitting 60 home runs again. Few thought that would happen. In 2024, Raleigh hit .220 with 34 home runs."
The MLB season presents surprises that fantasy managers must navigate. Drake Baldwin of the Atlanta Braves is emerging as a top catcher, currently hitting .327 with five home runs and 14 RBIs. Despite expectations of regression, Baldwin's consistent playing time and improved performance suggest he may exceed his rookie stats. Meanwhile, Cal Raleigh of the Seattle Mariners, despite a slow start, is expected to revert to a more realistic performance level, hitting around 35-40 home runs with a .235-.240 batting average.
