2025 Fantasy Outlook
Young began the year with the Cardinals, playing for Triple-A Memphis. He was batting .284/.409/.505 when St. Louis transferred his contract to the Doosan Bears in the Korean Baseball Organization. Young posted a .326/.420/.660 line overseas. The Mets took notice, signing Young to a major league deal. He makes contact at an above average clip but doesn't hit the ball with much authority. The Mets would not have signed Young to an MLB deal if they didn't see something, but it's surely not to be their new regular at first base. Young is in play solely in NL-only formats, and even then, he's not likely to play enough to merit fantasy consideration. Read Past Outlooks

The Mets optioned Young to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Young joined the Mets on a big-league deal over the winter after he split the 2024 season between Triple-A Memphis in the Cardinals organization and the Korea Baseball Organization's Doosan Bears. Though Young produced at a high level with both clubs, he struggled in his brief exposure to MLB pitching during his time with the Cubs in 2022 and 2023, slashing .210/.290/.435 with a 29 percent strikeout rate over 69 plate appearances. The 29-year-old has some experience in the corner outfield and at third base, but since he profiles best defensively at first base, he may not be in line for much action with the Mets unless Pete Alonso misses time with an injury.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
The Cubs removed Young from their 40-man roster last offseason, but he found his way back to the majors amidst a big year at Triple-A Iowa which saw him slash .310/.417/.577 with 21 home runs over 376 plate appearances. He cracked a couple more homers with the big club but was jettisoned from the 40-man roster again this winter and was scooped up on waivers by the rival Cardinals. Young can play the corner infield and outfield spots and has decent speed, although he's never been much of a base stealer. The 28-year-old took big steps forward with his power and walk rate in 2023, but given his age and the fact that he was in his third stint at Triple-A, it's fair to be dubious.
