Brandon Marsh

Marsh struggled to a .387 OPS through mid-April, then missed a couple weeks with a strained hamstring. After returning in early May, he slashed .303/.358/.478 the rest of the way, though he added a modest 10 homers and seven steals. For his career, Marsh is a .261 hitter who averages a respectable 14.9 homers and 14.9 steals per 600 trips to the plate, which theoretically means he's the sort of cross-category contributor worth prioritizing with a late-round pick, but his value is capped by his role. Marsh has never been trusted to play regularly against lefties, making just 10 starts against southpaws last season. That's unlikely to change, as he's a career .213/.278/.303 hitter (good for a 61 wRC+) against them with a 38.4 K%. That's limited him to a career high of 476 plate appearances (set in 2024), reducing his counting stats and keeping him as mostly a deep-league option. Read Past Outlooks
