With a squad full of young talent and a postseason berth secured, the New York Mets concluded a strong 2024 season. However, the Mets’ 2025 future is still up in the air because important players like Pete Alonso might be heading into free agency. Let’s examine 2024’s top fantasy contributors and speculate on their future fantasy possibilities for the forthcoming season.
Francisco Lindor: A Superstar in Fantasy
Francisco Lindor, who came very close to having the desired 30-30 season in 2024, was a real gem for fantasy managers. Lindor produced outstanding results in several categories, including 33 home runs, 29 stolen bases, and a strong.273 batting average. Going into 2025, he is a top-tier fantasy option due to his dependability and broad skill set. Expect him to be drafted in the first or second round of most leagues, reflecting his immense value.
Pete Alonso: His worth is obscured by uncertainty
With 37 home runs and 116 RBIs, Pete Alonso had a decent season, but his batting average dropped to.250. Alonso’s future with the Mets is in doubt because free agency is approaching. He will continue to be an important source of power if he stays in New York. But compared to prior years, his dropping batting average adds a degree of risk. This offseason, his draft position will make for an intriguing plot point.
Up-and-Coming Talents: Alvarez and Baty
A few of the Mets’ young, talented players have the potential to have a big fantasy impact in 2025. Although Francisco Alvarez has shown amazing power, he still has to be more reliable at the plate. Conversely, Brett Baty can be a solid contributor across multiple categories. Keep a close eye on these two players, as they could provide exceptional value in later rounds of your drafts.
Kodai Senga: A Pitcher With A High Strikeout Rate
With more than 200 strikeouts in 166 innings pitched during his rookie season with the Mets, Kodai Senga left a lasting impression. Senga has the potential to be a reliable strikeout machine, but he needs to improve his control (1.22 WHIP). In future rounds, he might be a good mid-round selection, particularly if he keeps improving his command.
David Peterson: A Person Who Sleeps Late
In 2024, David Peterson improved significantly, winning 10 games while maintaining a strong 3.90 ERA. Even while he might not be a pitcher with a high strikeout rate, his ability to pitch well into games and help teams win makes him a great late-round target in deeper fantasy leagues.
Edwin Diaz: Still an Elite Closer
Despite a slight increase in his ERA to 3.52, Edwin Diaz remains one of the top closers in baseball. He continues to rack up strikeouts and saves with a solid WHIP. Expect Diaz to be among the first closers selected in 2025 drafts, as his reliability is a valuable commodity in fantasy baseball.
Key Takeaways for 2025 Fantasy Drafts:
- Lindor is a Safe Bet: Draft him with confidence in the early rounds.
- Monitor Alonso’s Situation: His value will be heavily influenced by where he lands in free agency.
- Target Young Players: Alvarez and Baty could provide excellent value in the middle-to-later rounds.
- Don’t Overlook Senga: He has the potential to outperform his draft position, especially in leagues that prioritize strikeouts.
- Diaz Remains Elite: If you need saves, make sure Diaz is high on your draft list.
The Mets offer an intriguing mix of established stars and emerging talent, making them a team to watch closely in fantasy baseball. Stay informed about free agency developments and player progress as we head into the 2025 season, and be prepared to adjust your draft strategy accordingly.
