2025 Fantasy Outlook
Lee served as the White Sox's primary backstop in 2024, but he struggled during his rookie campaign with 12 home runs, a .591 OPS and 31 percent strikeout rate in 125 games. His six stolen bases were solid for a catcher, but a .210 batting average and 4.3 percent walk rate limited his opportunities on the basepaths. Lee was never a world-beater at the plate in the minors with a .747 OPS, 30 homers and 25 steals in 195 career games at the Triple-A level, but the power and speed production showed some promise. He has a long way to go toward being fantasy relevant, and his opportunities could be limited in 2025 with prospect Edgar Quero poised to make his MLB debut. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the White Sox in March of 2025.
Knocks first homer
Lee went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk Monday in a 7-0 win over the Royals.
Analysis
Lee was called up from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday, but he didn't get into any games over the weekend. However, the backstop was given a chance to start behind the plate Monday and made the most of the opportunity, crushing a two-run homer to left field in the fourth inning. The long ball was his first of the year in his 15th contest after he went deep 12 times over 125 games last season. Lee has hit pretty well with a .290/.353/.484 slash line during his limited time in the majors this season, but he doesn't figure to get much playing time with both Kyle Teel and Edgar Quero ahead of him on the catcher depth chart.

Stat Review
How does Korey Lee 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
Lee was traded from the Astros to the White Sox at the 2023 trade deadline and played in 24 games down the stretch for Chicago. The 25-year-old struggled to get anything going offensively with a .077/.143/.138 slash line and 28.6 percent strikeout rate in 70 plate appearances, though he looked solid behind the plate. He had a .711 OPS in 82 games at Triple-A last season, and he hit just five homers compared to the 25 he slugged in 2022. Depending on the White Sox's offseason additions, Lee should have a chance to earn the start Opening Day in 2024, though he'd be a risky play for fantasy managers. As it stands, Carlos Perez and Max Stassi are his main competition.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely staying put
According to Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times, the White Sox aren't expected to consider trading Lee ahead of the July 30 deadline.
Analysis
The 25-year-old was acquired by Chicago from Houston at the deadline last year and is serving as the White Sox's primary backstop in 2024. Lee has struggled in his first full MLB campaign with a .608 OPS in 78 contests, and he's been particularly unproductive since the beginning of June with a .153/.187/.297 slash line and 34.1 percent strikeout rate in 118 at-bats.
