2025 Fantasy Outlook
Sheets managing to accrue a career-high 501 plate appearances in 2024 spoke much more to the futility of the White Sox than anything the player did. Among 130 players to reach 500 plate appearances, Sheets ranked 120th with his .357 slugging percentage, which is especially lackluster considering he was in the lineup mostly for his theoretical power. The 28-year-old hits a lot of fly balls and has an above-average career strikeout rate at 20.8 percent, but his hard-hit rate (36 percent), average exit velocity (88.4 mph) and barrel rate (6.3 percent) are all below league average. The White Sox non-tendered Sheets over the offseason, and it's difficult to see a 29-year-old with such an uninspiring offensive resume and no defensive value getting another crack at regular playing time in 2025.

Powers offense in win
Sheets went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run and two doubles in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Reds.
ANALYSIS
Sheets gave the Padres a 6-4 lead in the seventh inning with a 422-foot blast that held up as the game-winning play. It was the 29-year-old's first homer since June 14, and he snapped a 3-for-18 slump over his previous five games. He's now slashing .265/.322/.470 with 13 long balls, 49 RBI, 33 runs scored and one steal across 295 plate appearances in what's shaping up to be a career-best campaign.

Stat Review
How does Gavin Sheets 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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
Players normally have breakout seasons in their third full year at the big league level, but apparently Sheets decided to flip that script. Sheets had a strong breakout rookie season in 2021, but has backslid each of the past two seasons to what was just an absolutely dismal 2023 campaign at the plate. The biggest challenge to his success is opposing pitchers figured out last season that he could be challenged with fastballs and they fed him a steady diet of them as he hit .205 off fastballs while slugging .366 off them. Those numbers are not suitable for a backup catcher let alone a corner outfielder/first base/DH type like Sheets. A poor first half (.220/.298/.374) gave way to an abysmal second half (.178/.223/.271) but Chicago continued to put him out there against righties. 2024 could see Sheets go back to the minors as he does have an option remaining so a resumption of his 2023 role is not guaranteed. He needs to flip the script right side up.
