Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Berti was one of those players we expected to thrive in the new stolen base environment. He has 21 steal in 28 attempts over the past two seasons, but most of that is front-loaded, as a calf strain and hip issues cost him significant time in 2024. The Yankees primarily used Berti at third base last season, so his draft day value will be significantly impacted by his positional assignment since he lacks the run production for that position in most formats. Berti will be 35 on Opening Day yet still maintains top 20th percentile speed, assuming his leg ailments are fully healed. He signed with the Cubs on a one-year, $2 million deal and could be a surprise source of steals if prospect Matt Shaw doesn't look ready in the spring or if Nico Hoerner's (elbow) recovery hits a snag. More likely, Berti will be a part-time player who could slide into a more prominent role if injuries strike. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year, $2 million contract with the Cubs in January of 2025.
Drawing rare start Sunday
Berti will start at third base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Astros.
Analysis
Berti will enter the lineup for just the second time since rookie Matt Shaw was recalled from Triple-A Iowa in mid-May. Shaw has posted a .655 OPS since his call-up, which has been good enough to keep Berti on the bench.

Stat Review
How does Jon Berti 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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
2021
2020
Berti played in a career-high 133 games with the Marlins in 2023 and posted a career-best .294 batting average while registering his highest OPS (.748) since 2019. It was enough to convince the Marlins that he was worth bringing back on a $3.63 million club option for 2024. Oddly enough, though, his fantasy stock is lower now than it was a year ago. Berti stole 41 bases in 46 attempts in 2022, pacing all major leaguers in that category despite operating in a utility role. He was more of an everyday guy last season but tallied only 16 steals in 22 tries. If he is not swiping bags at an elite pace, and with that .294 batting average looking unrepeatable, the 34-year-old is more of an off-and-on waiver-wire type than a draft-day consideration.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Received interest from Minnesota
Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports that the Twins reached out to Berti before he inked a one-year, $2 million contract with the Cubs in late January.
Analysis
Minnesota was looking to add some infield depth, particularly at shortstop given Carlos Correa's injury concerns, but Berti opted for a deal with Chicago that includes up to $1.3 million in incentives. The veteran infielder played in just 25 regular-season games during 2024 due to a calf strain and had a .273/.342/.318 slash line in 74 plate appearances.
