2025 Fantasy Outlook
Aranda's 2024 was a potpourri of events. He had a fantastic spring but broke a finger near the end of it and that short-circuited his start to the season. He made it to the major league roster in May when the Rays were dealing with injuries but went back down in early June and wasn't seen again until the end of August. His time in Triple-A Durham was unlike his previous season as an oblique strain there limited his playing time and his ability to hit for power. Even more concerning was that he lost his contact abilities, with a career-worst 32.6 percent strikeout rate. The only true upside to his season was how he closed it, as he showed some surprising pop down the stretch with five doubles and five homers after his final promotion. Most of his batted ball metrics trended in a positive direction as the season closed, and the temporary home for the Rays in 2025 should be a good fit for Aranda. He is out of options, so he is a lock to make the team as long as he isn't traded in the offseason. The 1B-only eligibility makes him truly only draftable in the draft-and-hold formats or deeper mono-league formats, but there are enough late signs of growth from him for managers to remain intrigued for 2025.

Slugs seventh homer
Aranda went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 7-2 victory against the Twins.
ANALYSIS
Aranda ended what had been a scoreless tie with his three-run shot off reliever Brock Stewart in the sixth inning. The long ball gave the first baseman seven on the campaign, establishing a new career-high mark. Not coincidentally, Aranda has also already played in an MLB career-high 48 games, as he's managed to stay healthy while establishing a stranglehold on first-base duties for Tampa Bay. He's been able to earn a spot in the heart of the Rays' lineup with a .302/.381/.491 slash line on the campaign.

Stat Review
How does Jonathan Aranda 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
Aranda has done nothing but rake since advancing to the advanced levels of the minor leagues. .330/.426/.495 in High A ball, .325/.410/.540 in Double-A, and .328/.421/.565 in Tirple-A ball over nearly 900 plate appearances. However, none of that has translated into major league success as he owns a career .212/.311/.346 line in 190 major league plate appearances sprinkled over the past two seasons. Aranda is a patient hitter who is very accepting of his walks and made solid contact s a minor leaguer but the contact has been an issue as a big leaguer with a 28% strikeout rate and and 78% contact rate at the big league level. Aranda is nearly undraftable until the reserves for a few reasons, primarily because he is DH-only on draft day. Secondly, he is a terrible defender with poor range and has trouble with lefties so he loses playing time due to both deficiencies. Some may label him as Luiz Arraez lite whereas it would be more prudent to call him an Arraez knockoff.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Extra year of team control
According to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times, the Rays were granted a fourth option year for Aranda.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old utilized his three minor-league options in each of the past three seasons, but the organization was granted another year, potentially due to the finger and oblique injuries that sidelined him for much of 2024. Aranda had a .738 OPS in 44 games last year and is poised to see regular plate appearances between first base and designated hitter in 2025.
