2025 Fantasy Outlook
A 5-foot-8, 200-pound catcher who many evaluators expect to be limited to first base or designated hitter, Ballesteros' bat is essentially big-league ready. Ballesteros slashed .286/.352/.469 with an 18.3 percent strikeout rate and 19 home runs in 124 games across Double-A and Triple-A as a 20-year-old, and if Ballesteros played good defense anywhere on the field, he'd be a much safer and alluring prospect. He looks like a less doughy Alejandro Kirk, and his athleticism, framing, blocking and throwing are all below-average relative to a typical big-league catcher. The Cubs will surely keep trying to develop Ballesteros into a passable defensive catcher, as finding at-bats for him at first base or designated hitter could be tricky when the Cubs are at full strength. However, those in dynasty leagues should be aware that he may lose catcher eligibility in the next couple years. On the slight chance he retains catcher eligibility while getting a lot of run at DH, then his dynasty managers will have hit the jackpot. Read Past Outlooks
