Fantasy Baseball Rankings 2025: Key Sleepers and Breakouts Identified

A deep dive into the emerging stars and potential busts for the upcoming MLB season, backed by advanced modeling.

MLB spring training MLB is rolling as Opening Day in Tokyo between the Dodgers and Cubs is now just three days away. That means 2025 Fantasy baseball draft season is heading towards its conclusion and Fantasy baseball ADP data is solid. The top-five consensus picks are Shohei Ohtani, Aaron Judge, Bobby Witt, Juan Soto and Jose Ramirez, while Mookie Betts has moved up to No. 6. Paul Skenes (9) and Tarik Skubal (11) are the top-two starting pitchers going off the board in most Fantasy baseball drafts.

Who are the top 2025 Fantasy baseball sleepers, breakouts and busts, and which 2025 Fantasy baseball picks can give your roster an edge this season? Before going on the clock in any 2025 Fantasy baseball drafts, be sure to see the 2025 Fantasy baseball rankings and cheat sheets from the proven computer model at SportsLine.

Last season, SportsLine’s Projection Model identified several top Fantasy baseball sleepers, breakouts, and busts, including Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman. The team at SportsLine was all over Rutschman as a Fantasy bust from the start as he was being drafted in the first five rounds on average.

After finishing as runner-up in AL Rookie of the Year voting despite playing only 113 games in 2022 and becoming an All-Star and Silver Slugger in 2023, Rutschman saw across-the-board declines in his numbers and finished as the No. 6 catcher despite being selected two rounds earlier on average than any other catcher. There were far better values available at that stage of the draft, and the model helped Fantasy baseball players avoid a painstaking selection early in the draft.

The SportsLine model is powered by the same people who powered projections for all three major Fantasy sites. And that same group is sharing its 2025 Fantasy baseball rankings and cheat sheets over at SportsLine, helping you find Fantasy baseball sleepers, breakouts and busts long before your competition.
