Connor Wong

Wong enjoyed a breakout in 2024, posting a career-best .280/.333/.425 line with 13 home runs, 52 RBI, eight steals while improving with runners in scoring position. Congratulations to all the fantasy managers who had Wong on their rosters, but they should prepare for a correction in 2025. Much of the catcher's improvement was fueled by a BABIP that hovered in the high 300s for the first half of the season. A correction began in the second half, when his .696 OPS was more in line with his career mark entering the season. The 28-year-old backstop far exceeded his expected line, but there was growth as a hitter; Wong chased fewer balls and made more contact in the zone. He's a good athlete and saw time at second (four starts) and first base (10 starts). Wong could be the long-term No. 1 after Boston traded highly regarded prospect Kyle Teel in the deal to acquire starter Garrett Crochet. Read Past Outlooks
