2024 was a down year overall across 1 base, with some stubborns taking a step back. However, the one that stood out was Toronto’s Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who set the pace for the American League. But will the contract extension with the Blue Jays, which will take over this offseason, fail?
New arrival Christian Walker aims for the Crawford Box in Houston, as well as the short pouch and Cordy Bellinger at Yankee Stadium. Bellinger and another former NL MVP Paul Goldschmidt joined the defending AL champion this offseason and helped fill the gap left by Juan Soto’s departure. AL East also boasts the potential value picks from Triston Casas and Ryan Mountcastle.
In the National League, Bryce Harper nods as an overall base hand overall. He’s just ahead of Freddie Freeman coming up with ankle surgery and Matt Olson, who has regressed considerably from the 2023 star count.
Returning to the Mets was the best thing that could happen to Pete Alonso’s fantasy value. Recently traded Josh Naylor joined Arizona’s most prolific offense last season, making a good bet for his second straight 100 RBI season. However, the NL depth drops sharply after these first five.
