Fantasy baseball shortstop rankings: Bobby Witt Jr. leads elite crop
Mar 10, 2025
Shortstop is where the most talented players in the majors most frequently reside. And the position is loaded this season, with several intriguing prospects on the way. With his five-category excellence and his pristine health history, Bobby Witt Jr. is the No. 1 overall player in fantasy for 2025. His value is even more pronounced in American League-only formats, with only Gunnar Henderson in his stratosphere. Corey Seager has missed chunks of the past two seasons with injuries, but still hit at least 30 homers both times. Also, the Angels' Zach Neto (23 HR, 30 SB in 2024) and Rays newcomer Ha-Seong Kim are coming off shoulder surgeries.
In the National League, Elly De La Cruz offers a tantalizing package of raw power and an MLB-leading 67 stolen bases. Veterans Mookie Betts, Francisco Lindor and Trea Turner remain elite talents, with considerably less risk. Willy Adames is coming off a career year (32 HR, 112 RBI, 21 SB), but now plays in pitcher-friendly San Francisco. If you're looking to address a particular category, CJ Abrams (stolen bases), Ezequiel Tovar (home runs) and Xavier Edwards (batting average) can help.
