San Francisco Giants AAA
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Basabe's 2024 season was truncated by a wrist fracture that limited him to 78 games between his rehab assignment in the Complex League and Triple-A Durham. Basabe has now amassed nearly 2,000 plate appearances in the minor leagues, and does have a .301 average along with a .359 OBP, as he has shown strong bat to ball skills throughout the minor leagues. The challenge has been that skill has not translated to the big leagues, as he looked rather overmatched when we last saw him in 2023, and the club never promoted him last season despite his return from injury in mid-July. Basabe was traded to the Giants in February after being designated for assignment, which gives him a more difficult path to immediate playing time in the majors. He is still just 24 years old and not yet out of minor league options, but 2025 could be a make or break season. Read Past Outlooks

Analysis

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2021
Basabe amassed nearly 1,700 plate appearances in the minor leagues before his 23rd birthday while also earning his first promotion to the majors. Basabe hit .311/.369/.432 in the Tampa Bay farm system, and injuries, as well as a .296/.351/.426 line in Durham this year, earned him that promotion. Like Jonathan Aranda, that minor league success did not translate into major league success, as Basabe looked completely overmatched at the plate against major league pitching aside a grand slam off Daniel Bard in a blowout game in late August. The switch hitter is still growing into his frame and profiles as a bottom of the order utility player until such time as his skills or opportunities improve. The Rays dealt away one of the roadblocks in his way in Vidal Brujan, so it would appear Basabe would at least inherit the role Brujan had with the club in 2023. He can safely be avoided in mixed leagues for the time being given his rather limited ceiling.
Basabe joined the Rangers as an international free agent in 2017 for $550,000. He's displayed advanced contact skills in organized ball since, striking out at under a 12% rate across 398 plate appearances. Basabe has also utilized his plus speed to swipe 19 bases in 87 games in rookie ball. Though he wasn't added to the Rangers' 60-player pool this past summer, Basabe participated in the Venezuelan Winter League and hit .360/.385/.488 across 91 plate appearances. In addition to his bat, Basabe has positional versatility, playing primarily at second base and shortstop as a professional. However, scouts also project that he could shift to the outfield at some point in his career. That versatility will be key for Basabe after he was traded to the Rays this offseason. He should spend his age-20 season at Low-A, where he will look to start tapping into some power to go with his impressive hit tool.

Analysis
Basabe received his first taste of the majors last season and had a .218/.277/.320 slash line with one home run and 12 RBI in 31 games.
