2025 Fantasy Outlook
Lowe boasts a .359 on-base percentage in his four seasons as the Rangers' primary first baseman, which is the sixth-best mark at his position over that time. He has not been a consistent fantasy contributor over that stretch, however. Lowe popped 27 home runs while batting .302 in 2022, but in his three other seasons with Texas he's hit between 16 and 18 home runs and batted between .262 and .265. The 29-year-old also saw his quality of contact diminish for the second year in a row in 2024. Lowe's on-base skills and quality glove should continue to afford him regular opportunities, but you can aim higher in shallower fantasy leagues. Read Past Outlooks

Lowe went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, a double, two runs scored and a walk in Sunday's win over the Angels.

2023
2022
2021
2020
2019
Our 2023 outlook for Lowe came together rather well in the end as the first baseman regressed to previous levels in the face of the new rules. Lowe remains one of the more disciplined hitters in the league who will patiently work a count while looking for his pitch while being more than willing to accept a walk in any given situation. Lowe's issues against lefties (.223) helped pull his batting average down in 2023, but given he hit .277 and .330 against lefties in the previous two seasons, it would not surprise us to see him recover in 2024 to add some more life to his average. Despite his size, Lowe has league-average speed but Texas has not put him in motion over the past two seasons after allowing him some opportunities in 2021. Lowe is in an enviable position of playing daily in a potent lineup and has the potential to drive in 100 and even score 100 if the guys around him stay healthy all season. 2022 may have been his ceiling, but maybe not.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Interest from Pittsburgh?
The Pirates could attempt to acquire Lowe from the Rangers, per Danny Demilio of PittsburghBaseballNow.com.
ANALYSIS
First base is a serious position of need for Pittsburgh, and Texas may look to get away from Lowe's estimated salary of $10.7 million. The 29-year-old doesn't offer the power of a prototypical first baseman, but he's still been a reliable producer and had 16 homers with a .762 OPS in 2024.
