Tyler Locklear

Tyler Locklear

24-Year-Old First Baseman1B
Arizona Diamondbacks
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Locklear got his first taste of the big leagues last season but looked overmatched in his brief time with the big club, striking out at more than a 40 percent rate in 49 plate appearances. Contact has not been a major issue for Locklear in the minors with a 22.6 percent strikeout rate, so that number should stabilize over time. Locklear doesn't seem to need any more seasoning after slashing .272/.382/.468 with 16 homers in 111 contests between Double- and Triple-A in 2024, but the Mariners don't appear ready to hand him a full-time job yet. Even if he has to bide his time back in the minors for a while longer, Locklear remains an intriguing power bat who should get his opportunity in Seattle eventually. Read Past Outlooks

Out again in favor of Smith

August 19, 2025
Locklear is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Guardians.
Analysis
Locklear has now been on the bench for two straight games versus right-handers since Pavin Smith returned from the injured list. While the 24-year-old should operate as more than a short-side platoon bat, it's clear that Smith will put a significant dent in Locklear's playing time.
