2025 Fantasy Outlook
Sheets managing to accrue a career-high 501 plate appearances in 2024 spoke much more to the futility of the White Sox than anything the player did. Among 130 players to reach 500 plate appearances, Sheets ranked 120th with his .357 slugging percentage, which is especially lackluster considering he was in the lineup mostly for his theoretical power. The 28-year-old hits a lot of fly balls and has an above-average career strikeout rate at 20.8 percent, but his hard-hit rate (36 percent), average exit velocity (88.4 mph) and barrel rate (6.3 percent) are all below league average. The White Sox non-tendered Sheets over the offseason, and it's difficult to see a 29-year-old with such an uninspiring offensive resume and no defensive value getting another crack at regular playing time in 2025.

Slugs pinch-hit homer
Sheets went 1-for-1 with a solo home run in Thursday's 7-4 win over Atlanta.
ANALYSIS
Sheets was not in the starting lineup against left-hander Chris Sale. He entered as a pinch-hitter for Brandon Lockridge in the seventh inning and launched a game-tying homer off Hector Neris that kick-started San Diego's comeback victory. Sheets picked up where he left off in spring training, when he slashed .311/.367/.756 with six homers. The former White Sox player figures to see regular playing time for the Friars against right-handed pitching as long as he's slugging.

Stat Review
How does Gavin Sheets compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

What can recent spring steals outliers tell us about players who ran wild this spring, like Boston's David Hamilton?

Much has been decided in the National League over the last few days, including the Giants' fifth starter job, which was won by Landen Roupp.

Jan Levine has a slightly smaller rundown of NL options than last week to get you prepared for the North American start to the regular season.
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
Players normally have breakout seasons in their third full year at the big league level, but apparently Sheets decided to flip that script. Sheets had a strong breakout rookie season in 2021, but has backslid each of the past two seasons to what was just an absolutely dismal 2023 campaign at the plate. The biggest challenge to his success is opposing pitchers figured out last season that he could be challenged with fastballs and they fed him a steady diet of them as he hit .205 off fastballs while slugging .366 off them. Those numbers are not suitable for a backup catcher let alone a corner outfielder/first base/DH type like Sheets. A poor first half (.220/.298/.374) gave way to an abysmal second half (.178/.223/.271) but Chicago continued to put him out there against righties. 2024 could see Sheets go back to the minors as he does have an option remaining so a resumption of his 2023 role is not guaranteed. He needs to flip the script right side up.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Starting spot unlikely?
Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com speculates Sheets likely has "little chance of securing" the starting job in right field.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old struggled to a .203/.267/.331 slash line in 118 games last season, so he's hardly put himself in position to retain a regular spot in the lineup. Chicago also acquired Dominic Fletcher and Zach DeLoach via trades Saturday, with Fletcher the favorite to start in right field. Sheets may need a strong showing in spring training just to earn a spot on the Opening Day roster.
