2025 Fantasy Outlook
The outlook for Hayes could write itself at this point in his career, as his lack of power and injuries have continued to hold back his fantasy potential. He managed only 396 plate appearances in 2024 while spending two stints on the injured list with back inflammation that cost him a combined two months of the campaign. Even when he was on the field, it was Hayes' worst showing from a skills perspective. His groundball rate jumped to 52.7 percent, which limited him to just four home runs and a .058 ISO. Nearly 2,000 plate appearances into his career, the breakout that the fantasy community has been waiting for from Hayes appears unlikely to occur. However, his defense should keep him locked into an everyday role at third base and his ability to steal bases (11 on 13 attempts in 2024) keep him on the radar in deep mixed formats and NL-only leagues.

Out of Pittsburgh lineup
Hayes is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against the Guardians.
ANALYSIS
Hayes enters action Friday in a 3-for-29 slide at the dish, so it seems like a good time to give him a breather. Jared Triolo is occupying third base and batting seventh for the Pirates.

Hayes had some up and down moments in 2023. Hayes took forever to get things going hitting .221 with just 2 homers through the end of May before waking up to hit .337 with 3 homers in June alone. An early back injury in July shelved him until mid-August and he returned with aplomb hitting .299 with 10 homers the rest of the way. His 15 homers in 2023 were just three fewer than he hit from 2020-2022, but his 10 steals was half of what he did the previous season at a time when most guys saw their totals jump a bit. He made positive gains in elevating the ball more frequently while not sacrificing his ability to make contact as he lowered his strikeout rate for a fourth consecutive season. Hayes has the tools to be a 20-20 player in 2024 if he can continue his growth from the late summer and get back to running. Either way, he feels prime for the breakout season many have wanted from him each of the past two seasons.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Buy-low candidate
Hayes has just a .225/.282/.350 slash line through 131 plate appearances, but his .285/.343/.441 expected slash could be indicative of improvement to come.
ANALYSIS
Hayes is whiffing on just 4.1 percent of strikes he gets thrown, which is the best mark in MLB. His 12.2 percent strikeout rate is also a top-15 mark in MLB. His contact skills combined with a Pittsburgh offense that ranks 10th in runs per game sets up some potential gains for any fantasy manager willing to gamble on the 26-year-old.
