2025 Fantasy Outlook

Rortvedt had a below-average offensive season, but did so for a club which has grown accustomed to little offensive production from its catchers. Rortvedt, if not for the presence of Yandy Diaz on the roster, would have the biggest biceps on the roster, but that has not translated into much power as he has more than twice as many walks (51) in his career than he does extra base hits (23) in 505 plate appearances. Rortvedt is a 9th-place hitter against right-handed pitching with a noticeable hole on breaking stuff down and in the zone and pretty much anything offspeed. He is at his best hunting for fastballs early in the count, but fouling them off puts him in protect mode where the outcome is usually a strikeout. Defensively, he blocks well, he frames well, and he throws well yet has a poor caught stealing percentage both because his pitchers are slow-ish to the plate and he has one of the slowest glove to hand exchanges for catchers. His defense will keep him in the lineup, and the short porch this season may help him double his home run total but he is otherwise safely ignored in all but deep AL leagues. Read Past Outlooks
