2025 Fantasy Outlook
Santander could not have written a better script for his 2024 numbers as he heads into free agency. The switch-hitting slugger hit a career high 44 homers while also setting career highs in runs and RBI despite Lord Walltimore stealing a handful of homers from him. Santander signed a long-term deal with Toronto, where he'll likely shift between the outfield and designated hitter. It's roughly a neutral park shift for Santander, who will now bat behind Vladimir Guerrero, but fantasy managers should view 2024 as a well-timed career year for Santander. He'll be adjusting to living in a new city, with new coaches and big expectations, so a step back to his pre-2024 levels seems likely. Still, he's on the short list of hitters projected by all projection systems to surpass 30 homers in 2025 and he should do so without tanking your batting average or on-base percentage.

Close to swinging bat
Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins said Monday that Santander (shoulder) is "nearing" the start of a hitting progression, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Analysis
Atkins also revealed that Santander suffered a subluxation -- which is a partial dislocation -- when he initially injured his left shoulder back in early May. Previously, the injury was identified merely as inflammation. The Blue Jays have been waiting until Santander is symptom-free before clearing him to ramp up his hitting, and that time could be coming soon. According to Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca, the Blue Jays aren't yet ruling Santander out from being activated from the injured list before the All-Star break, though a second-half return is probably more realistic at this time.

How does Anthony Santander 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.

Santander's triple slash improved across the board as he benefited from legislating the shift. The switch-hitter faced a shift 89.4 percent of the time as a lefty in 2022, posting a .219 BABIP. Last season, he was shaded 65.3 percent of the time when batting left-handed, leading to a .292 BABIP. The higher BABIP helped counter a career high strikeout rate, though it wasn't egregiously high. Santander's homers dropped, but his percentage of extra base hits increased four points, so his slugging percentage improved. After stealing just three career bases heading into last season, Santander was 5-for-6 with the new rules, so there's some hope he'll run a tad more. Santander's defense remained a tick above average in right field, assuring he'll continue to play nearly every day, even as the Orioles continue to promote prospects to the majors. There isn't an area where Santander pops with upside, but he's a durable and reliable compiler on a team with a potent lineup.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Struggling at plate
Santander has been struggling at the plate this season and enters Monday's slate with a career-worst 24.7 percent strikeout rate, according to Blue Jays Nation.
Analysis
Santander's woes at the plate continued Sunday following a few days off and a move down in the order, as he hit fifth in Sunday's defeat to the Tigers. However, the days off didn't have any positive effect, as Santander went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in the series finale against Detroit. As a result of another lackluster performance, Santander is now hitting .182/.264/.308 through 41 games this season.
