2025 Fantasy Outlook
Higashioka was mostly an afterthought in the offseason trade that sent Juan Soto to the Yankees and netted San Diego an ace-like arm in Michael King, but the veteran catcher ended up playing a significant part for the playoff-bound Padres. An injury to Luis Campusano in late June pushed Higashioka into a starting role, and he never gave that up, as he slashed .244/.289/.506 with 12 homers and 35 RBI over 56 contests after Campusano landed on the IL. Overall, Higashioka logged career-high regular-season marks with 17 long balls and 45 RBI, and he was effective in the postseason as well with three more homers. Higashioka signed with the Rangers in the offseason, and he's expected to split time behind the plate with Jonah Heim in 2025, likely dinging both backstops' fantasy values. Read Past Outlooks
