22-Year-Old ShortstopSS
New York Mets
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Acuna had a .742 OPS in 158 games at Double-A and a .654 OPS in 131 games at Triple-A, but one would have thought he was a top 50 overall prospect based on what he did in his brief big-league debut. Francisco Lindor missed around two weeks in September with a back injury, and Acuna was already on the 40-man roster and a capable shortstop defender, so he was summoned from Triple-A to fill in. He proceeded to hit three home runs in his first week of action, finishing with a .308 average and a 15 percent strikeout rate in 40 plate appearances. The second-oldest of the four Acuna brothers had 40 steals and seven homers in 587 plate appearances at Triple-A, and in reality, steals are the main path to Acuna providing fantasy value at some point in 2025. His ability to add value with his glove all over the diamond could lead to him spending most, or all of the season in the majors, but he projects to be a well below-average hitter (Steamer projects him for a .294 OBP and an 87 wRC+), so it seems unlikely the Mets would go into the year relying on Acuna to play every day.
