When compiling a list of the game’s top talents, how do you weigh a young player coming off a breakout season against a veteran with a longer track record of success?
The question applies everywhere but especially in the outfield, with Jackson Merrill and Jarren Duran coming off huge years at a time when some of the game’s elite outfielders were either limited by injury (Ronald Acuña Jr., Mike Trout, Fernando Tatis Jr., Kyle Tucker, etc) or took a step back offensively (Corbin Carroll, Julio Rodriguez). Trout, for instance, still remains highly productive when he’s on the field, but he has now played in just 41% of his team’s games over the last four years. Availability, after all, has to be taken into account.
One thing we do know: The top outfield tandem in the sport is clear, even if that duo won’t be teammates again in 2025.
Our eight-part position series continues with the top 10 outfielders entering the 2025 season.
