Chase Meidroth

Meidroth lost out on a roster spot with the White Sox to open the 2025 season, but his contract was selected in mid-April and he went on to start 133 games combined between second base and shortstop. In many ways, the skills he displayed in his first season in the majors matched the expectations of his prospect profile. Meidroth provided very little power (.067 ISO, five HRs) and lacked any indication that more could on the way, as he struggled to make hard contact and posted a 53.3 percent groundball rate. Despite an impeccable contact rate, Meidroth's lack of hard contact also serves to keep his expectations for a high-batting average in check. The primary positives in his profile stemmed from two things. The first was an 8.9 percent walk rate, which gives Meidroth an extra boost in OBP formats. The other positive was Meidroth's 14 stolen bases, which came as something as a surprise given his mediocre sprint speed. Even with that bonus, Meidroth projects as a one-category producer - and modest production at that - that is most useful in very deep mixed leagues or AL-only formats. Read Past Outlooks
