2025 Fantasy Outlook
Loftin had an .803 OPS in his first taste of the majors in 19 games in 2023, but struggled last season with a .518 OPS in 57 games. He still hit .302 with a .857 OPS at Triple-A last season. He can play several positions in the infield and outfield (he played second base Saturday) which will have him in the mix for a utility role this spring. Read Past Outlooks
Idle for series finale
Loftin is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rangers.
ANALYSIS
Loftin had started in five of the previous six games, but he went just 2-for-17 with two triples and two walks during that stretch. He'll bow out of the lineup for the series finale, paving the way for Drew Waters to pick up a start in left field.

Stat Review
How does Nick Loftin 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.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Loftin hit a productive, if unspectacular, 14 home runs with a .788 OPS at Triple-A last season. He then hit .323 with an .803 OPS over 68 plate appearances in his first big-league audition. His MLB numbers, especially fueled by a .392 BABIP, likely won't last over a longer sample. Loftin has played all around the infield in his minor-league career, so he could win a utility role with the Royals this spring. He has had low strikeout rates (13.1% K% at Triple-A) with strong walk rates (9.7% BB% at Triple-A), so he could maintain an above-average batting average.
