2025 Fantasy Outlook
There were fewer high-profile busts in 2024 than Bichette. Bichette's 2024 season was ruined by a calf injury and later a finger injury that required offseason surgery, so even when he did play, the results were terrible. Bichette was coming off a three-year run of volume peaking with the nomadic 2021 ballpark situation, which helped his overall numbers, as every counting category for him has since declined each of the past four seasons. You know things were tough for Bichette when he hit .225 on the season after never hitting below .275 at any level of professional baseball before that. Bichette is entering the final year of full team control with Toronto. A fully healthy Bichette could hit leadoff in 2025, which could help him produce somewhere along his 2022-2023 span of production. The 2021 season simply is not repeatable because the run environments in Dunedin and Buffalo were contributing factors, which are no longer in play, as Rogers Centre, even with its new configurations, is much more neutral. The 2024 season was terrible, but you should look to pounce if you see his market value is too heavily affected by recency bias. Read Past Outlooks

Bichette is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Analysis
Bichette started the previous 55 contests and will receive a break Sunday after going 9-for-19 with four doubles and two homers in the first five games of September. He appeared to get a bit banged up during Saturday's contest on a slide into home plate, though no injury has been announced and the shortstop never exited the contest. Monday's team off day will provide Bichette with two consecutive days to rest ahead of a stretch of a stretch of 13 games in 13 days.

2017
Bichette has been a model of consistency since debuting for the Blue Jays in 2019, and his .306/.339/.475 slash line in 2023 closely resembles his career line. His counting stats (20 homers, 73 RBI and five steals) took a bit of a hit as he spent time on the injured list with knee and quadriceps issues during the second half, though he still played in 135 games overall. Bichette's barrel rate remained stable at 9.6 percent, though he boosted his line-drive rate seven points to 27.4 percent to help maintain a .355 BABIP, which should be sustainable since it's only slightly higher than his career average. He recorded 38 steals over the 2021-22 campaigns, so it's surprising he stayed in single digits in 2023 given the rule changes that boosted totals league-wide. The two leg injuries likely played a role in the production drop, but he still had just three steals in 90 games heading into the All-Star break. Regardless of the stolen base total, Bichette has established a strong fantasy floor with a high average and reliable run production heading into his age-26 campaign.
At the All-Star break, Bichette sat with a .257 average, a .720 OPS and seven steals in 13 attempts. Water eventually finds its level. Bichette cut his strikeouts back down -- 24.3 K percentage in the first half, 19.2 percent in the second half -- and took off to the tune of a .337/.378/.543 line after the intermission. He also improved his efficiency on the basepaths in the second half, going 6-for-8 in steal attempts. In retrospect, those who jumped Bichette into the first half of the first round last spring were a little overzealous, but don't let that disappointment keep you from investing in 2023. There are no questions about Bichette's ability with the bat. If anything, the fact that his sprint speed ranked only mid-pack might be of slight concern.
Bichette not only met his elevated expectations, he set the bar even higher. Missing only three games helped, as did batting in the heart of one of the game's most prolific lineups. Sure, Bichette's chase rate is high, and he doesn't walk much, but he hits the ball hard (85th percentile avgEV) to all fields (29.4 Pull%, 33.5 Oppo%). A 30-33% flyball rate caps power a bit, but it also fuels a high BABIP. Bichette has only been caught twice in 31 stolen base attempts since 2020, even more impressive considering 74th percentile sprint speed. Bichette is an adequate fielder but could be moved off shortstop for a better fielder. This is an elite five-tool player, embarking on his age-24 season. While 2021 may not go down as his career year, expecting a follow-up matching last season is aggressive. Still, even with a small drop, Bichette is a sure-fire first rounder with $35-plus earning potential.
Bichette owns a .307/.347/.549 career slash line over 340 PA at the big-league level, which is quite impressive given that he has not yet celebrated his 23rd birthday. That said, for all the accolades, does it not feel like we are left wanting more from him? The steals he flashed in the minors have not yet surfaced at the major-league level. He is aggressive on the basepaths, but has not been a particularly good thief of bases in the majors with just eight successful swipes in 13 attempts. He remains supremely confident in his hitting abilities, which makes him rather unaccepting of his walks and very reliant upon his batted-ball fortunes. Breaking balls have been his kryptonite in the majors, which is why he aggressively hunts fastballs early. There is still more room for growth here; if you want to go along for the ride in 2021, you will need to operate as if he's done it many times before.
After Vladimir Guerrero Jr. arrived three months earlier, Bichette's late-July callup officially secured the left side of the Toronto infield for years to come. Bichette made the bigger splash of the two uber-prospects, wasting no time etching his name into history. On Aug. 8, Bichette set MLB records by doubling in his ninth straight game and notching 13 extra-base hits in the first 11 games of a career. Bichette cooled off thereafter, but he still slashed .279/.327/.483 (112 wRC+) the rest of the way while racking up runs atop the order. If there's a nit to pick, Bichette's poor success rate on the bases was disappointing given his minor-league numbers, but an 83rd-percentile Statcast sprint speed suggests there's upside to be had in that area. Bichette's spectacular 46-game sample and scope to improve as a 22-year-old makes him a worthy top-15 fantasy shortstop in a group that's as deep as ever in 2020.
Bichette still has one of the best hit tools in the minors, striking out just 17% of the time at Double-A while spraying lasers to all fields (37.1 Pull%, 40.5 Oppo%). He is one of those hitters who will never sell out for power, but will still hit 20-plus home runs in his peak seasons. Despite finishing second in the Eastern League with 32 steals (on 43 attempts), Bichette doesn’t have the raw speed typically associated with prodigious base stealers. He grades out as an average runner now, and while he is not unathletic, at 6-foot, 200 pounds, he figures to slow down in the coming years. He isn’t a phenom on the level of org. mate Vlad Jr., but notching a 120 wRC+ as a 20-year-old at Double-A is still pretty advanced stuff. He was initially assigned to the Arizona Fall League, but those plans were nixed due to minor elbow and knee soreness. Bichette will be ready for the start of spring training and could earn a promotion to the majors as early as this summer.
For Bichette, it all starts with strike zone awareness, elite bat speed and a remarkable all-fields approach. He looks to do damage early in the count and then plays for contact if he gets behind. That bat speed, which might be the best in the minors, leads to plus power that he doesn’t have to sell out for. His 22 steals last year were largely the result of an athletic 19-year-old getting on base at a .423 clip. He will be an average runner, chipping in 8-to-12 steals annually early in his big-league career. Bichette hit more balls the other way than to the pull side last year, which is incredibly rare for a teenager with innate bat speed, and suggests he could compete for batting titles in his prime years. He falls in the bucket of young shortstops whose defensive ability gets questioned, but there were promising reports this year about his ability to stick there, at least early in his career. Bichette is on pace to reach the majors in 2019.
Bichette's swing gets compared to Josh Donaldson's, so naturally the Blue Jays were interested and signed him to an over-slot deal when he fell to them at pick 66 in the 2016 draft. The younger son of Dante Bichette, Bo is a sturdy 5-foot-11, 201 pounds, and his aggressive, power-oriented approach led to a 238 wRC+ and 1.182 OPS in 22 games in the Gulf Coast League. He would have led the league in every hitting category as an 18-year-old if he had enough plate appearances to qualify, but an appendix issue sidelined him for over a month. Obviously his .484 BABIP was a major contributor to his absurd numbers, but evaluators believe in the bat, projecting him as an average or better hitter with plus pop. He will be kept at shortstop for now, but it seems inevitable that he moves to second or third down the road. Bichette will start 2017 at Low-A, and he will shoot up prospect lists if he legitimizes his 2016 numbers without whiffing too much.
