Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Suzuki's decimals were eerily like the previous season's, but he took a slightly different route. His quality of contact ticked up but so did his strikeouts. However, Suzuki rarely chases and he walks at an above-average clip, so there's hope he can revert to lower strikeout levels while retaining elevated hard-hit and barrel rates. Durability remains an issue with Suzuki missing at least 24 games for the third straight season, though he did manage a career high plate appearances in 132 games. He missed almost a month early with an oblique strain, then played regularly the rest of the way. Suzuki more than doubled the number of steals he gathered over his first two seasons, yielding three ways he can improve: more contact, better health and continuing to ramp up running. There is a lot to like here. Read Past Outlooks
Homers twice in win
Suzuki went 2-for-4 with a walk, two home runs and three RBI in Thursday's 8-3 win at Pittsburgh.
ANALYSIS
Suzuki broke a 2-2 with a solo blast during the fifth inning and added some insurance with a two-run shot in the fifth. It's the second two-homer performance of the season for the 30-year-old, who has hit three long balls over the past three games. Suzuki has been one of the better hitters in baseball early in 2025 with nine home runs, 28 RBI and a .295/.365/.625 slash line through 28 games.

How does Seiya Suzuki 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
An oblique injury, suffered early in spring training, put Suzuki on the injured list to begin the 2023 season. He then endured some ups and downs in the first half, bottoming out with a .475 OPS in the month of June, before exploding for a .313/.372/.566 line and 13 home runs after the All-Star break. He finished with a 126 wRC+ for the season (100 is average). Pretty much everything was up for Suzuki across the board from his debut season in MLB after a storied career in his native Japan, with the exception being steals as his total fell to from nine to six even with more playing time and the rule changes benefitting stolen bases. While speed isn't a huge part of his game, there may still be some sleeper potential here if you believe in his second-half surge. Suzuki, now 29, projects to remain a near-everyday outfielder and middle-of-the-order presence under new Cubs manager Craig Counsell.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Trade target for Dodgers
The Dodgers are exploring right-handed hitting alternatives like Suzuki due to reaching an impasse on contract negotiations with Teoscar Hernandez, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Rosenthal relays that the Dodgers' contention with Hernandez is the salary value rather than length of contract, and the team is now exploring options to replace the 32-year-old outfielder. Suzuki is coming off a 2024 regular season in which he slashed .283/.366/.482 with 16 stolen bases, 21 home runs and 73 RBI across 585 plate appearances. Suzuki is owed $36 million dollars over the next two seasons, but his contract includes a no-trade clause. He may be relegated to DH duties due to the Cubs' acquisition of Kyle Tucker, so Suzuki could waive his no-trade clause in favor of having an everyday role in the outfield with a contending team like the Dodgers.
