Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Whether it was World Series hangover, simple regression or a combination of the two, Heim experienced a sharp decline in performance last season. The switch-hitting catcher easily led the position with 95 RBI in 2023 while adding 18 home runs, but those numbers fell off in 2024 to 59 and 13, respectively. Heim's hard-hit rate fell to a career-low 36.4 percent, his barrel rate dropped to a career-worst 5.9 percent and his pull rate dipped significantly to 38.3 percent last season. When you add in that he's a fly ball hitter and the ball didn't travel as well league-wide in 2024, that means lots of lazy flyouts. Heim was again much worse after the All-Star break (.527 OPS) than he was before it (.644 OPS) and now has a career .579 OPS in the second half versus a .732 OPS in the first half. A scaled back workload would make sense, and that's expected to happen after the Rangers brought in Kyle Higashioka to share time with Heim. Read Past Outlooks
Rounds bases twice
Heim went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs in Texas' 4-1 win over the Red Sox on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Swatting a pair of home runs is not a bad way to collect your first two hits of the season, and in doing so, Heim now has two multi-HR games across his five seasons in the majors. His first home run in the third inning Friday barely cleared the right-field wall, but his fifth-inning shot was a bit more convincing at 417 feet. Although Heim didn't start the season opener, he's expected to remain the Rangers' primary catcher this season and is showing early signs of a bounce-back campaign after finishing 2024 with a .603 OPS.

Recent RotoWire Articles Featuring Jonah Heim See More
The latest update to the RotoWire Roundtable Rankings sees Jackson Chourio move into the back of the first round.
With Shohei Ohtani set for more days off and fewer steals this season, Bobby Witt Jr. has moved into the top spot in our Roundtable Rankings.
Rankings from four RotoWire experts are combined into a consensus top-300, but there's no consensus about who should occupy the top spot.
Elly De La Cruz crept up slightly in the latest edition of the RotoWire Roundtable rankings, moving up to fourth overall.
Todd Zola explains how projected playing time and a skills-based approach helps him identify upside plays late in a draft, as well as leading him to put Aaron Judge at the top of his personal rankings.
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
2021
Any concern Heim would split catching duties with Mitch Garver were vanquished early with Garver missing most of April and all of May with a knee injury. During that time, Heim posted a .785 OPS, locking down the primary backstop position. For the season, Heim posted a career-high 103 wRC+ while continuing to excel behind the plate as a receiver and pitch framer. For the second straight year, Heim experienced a second half swoon, posting a .282/.338/.474 line before the break, compared to .217/.282/.656 after. However, Heim's average exit velocity and hard-hit rate were nearly identical in both halves, so he likely benefited from a fortuitous .313 BABIP over the first half and a snake bit .246 mark the rest of the way. Heim has shed the all-glove label, and catchers tend to develop more power as they get older. He'll be entering his 29-year-old season, so it may manifest, but the catcher inventory is such it isn't necessary to chase the potential upside.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Poor outlook from organization
According to Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News, the Rangers no longer consider Heim an everyday option at catcher.
ANALYSIS
A contract extension seemed possible after Heim posted a .755 OPS over 131 games in 2023, but he struggled to a .220/.267/.336 slash line this year. The 29-year-old was still solid defensively, but that likely won't be enough for the Rangers to give him 120-plus starts for a third straight year in 2025.
