2025 Fantasy Outlook
Bauers was acquired by the Brewers from the Yankees in November of 2023, and he had a .662 OPS with 12 home runs and 13 stolen bases in 117 games in 2024. He maintained a roster spot with Milwaukee throughout the year and was cut loose after the season, though he re-signed on a minor-league deal. Bauers' low average (.199) and high strikeout and walk rates (34.1 percent and 11.3 percent, respectively), have been consistent since he debuted in 2018, so there's no reason to expect him to take a major step forward at this point in his career. He isn't likely to be more than a depth option at first base and in the outfield, if he makes the MLB roster. Read Past Outlooks

Getting start in series finale
Bauers will start at first base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.
Analysis
With Rhys Hoskins (thumb) landing on the injured list Monday and likely to remain on the shelf through at least mid-August, Bauers should have a clearer path to playing time, though he won't necessarily rank as the Brewers' preferred option at first base. Andrew Vaughn was recalled from Triple-A Nashville on Monday and started over Bauers in both of the Brewers' first two games of the series with the Dodgers, going 2-for-5 with a home run, two walks, four RBI and two runs. Though Vaughn will get a breather Wednesday, he could be prioritized ahead of Bauers, who has produced a .212/.329/.381 slash line through 140 plate appearances on the season.

Stat Review
How does Jake Bauers 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.

2016
Bauers didn't see MLB action in 2022 for the second time in the previous three seasons, but he clubbed 12 home runs in 84 games for the Yankees last year. His .202/.279/.413 slash line and 34.9 percent strikeout rate were unsightly, but he had an 18.7 percent barrel rate and 48 percent hard-hit rate. Those numbers are likely what prompted the Brewers to trade for him early in the offseason, which for a time lined him up to potentially fill the large side of a platoon at first base following the departures of Carlos Santana and Rowdy Tellez. Bauers had a 10 percent walk rate in 2023 and has maintained a solid eye in the big leagues, but otherwise his track record in the majors as a below-average defender with a .663 OPS in 412 career games shouldn't excite fantasy managers, even if he is seeing a fair amount of playing time. However, Milwaukee's signing of Rhys Hoskins, who missed of 2023 recovering from a torn ACL, is likely to limit Bauers to more of a bench role.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Could be on block
The Brewers are listening to trade offers for Bauers, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.
Analysis
Perhaps not coincidentally, the Brewers acquired Andrew Vaughn via trade Friday, giving them a potential replacement for Bauers as a big-league bench piece. The 29-year-old has collected a .762 OPS with five homers in 43 games this season, but he's also struck out at a 33.3 percent clip and offers essentially no defensive value. Bauers has another year of team control in 2026.
