2025 Fantasy Outlook
Kiner-Falefa split his 2024 season between Toronto and Pittsburgh, but he's had remarkably stable production across all four of his teams. His primary asset at the plate is his ability to make consistent contact (career 15.6 percent strikeout rate) while maintaining a passable batting average. However, his 1.8 percent barrel rate and .089 career ISO highlight the lack of pop in his bat, and he's stolen just 25 bases combined across the last two seasons. That leaves the majority of his fantasy value tied up in team context. His current home in Pittsburgh likely offers him steady playing time at shortstop, but neither the home park nor lineup around him will help in terms of run-scoring or run-producing opportunities. Heading into 2025, Kiner-Falefa is best described as a player who is likely to have secure playing time but with little fantasy intrigue outside of the deepest formats. Read Past Outlooks

Kiner-Falefa's time in New York finally came to an end after a two-year run which saw him lose his starting job while he also did everything but pitch and catch on the field. The disappointing thing for fantasy managers is that IKF was not able to take full advantage of the new stolen base market after a two-year run which saw him succeed in 42 of his 51 stolen base attempts. Power was never in the picture and living in the bottom of the lineup was always the plan, but even the Yankees could no longer tolerate the lack of production from Kiner-Falefa as he struggled to hit in 2023. The six percentage point jump in his strikeout rate was uncharacteristic for him and the impact of that is seen in his batting average. He lacks the power that fantasy managers want to see from a 3B/OF eligible player but we also expect IKF to pick up another position or two in-season. It would not surprise us if he has a bounceback season of sorts away from the pressures of The Bronx.
