2025 Fantasy Outlook

One of the reasons the Astros tried Jose Altuve in left field is because Matthews has a chance to be the team's second baseman of the future. He has enough power to hit 20-plus homers and enough speed to steal 30-plus bases, Matthews just needs to make enough contact at the plate. He has always run high strikeout rates and there was known hit tool risk when Houston selected him as one of the better athletes among the college hitters at the end of the first round in 2023. Matthews had a 30.2 percent strikeout rate and 15.4 percent walk rate at Triple-A prior to getting the call this summer. He's one of those high-K hitters who doesn't chase much but also swings and misses at too many pitches in and around the zone. Houston should be committed to giving Matthews opportunities next year even if he can't find his footing against big-league pitching in 2025. He is more appealing in OBP leagues than batting average leagues. Read Past Outlooks
