2025 Fantasy Baseball Best Ball outfield Rankings, Draft Targets & Sleepers

Spring is a season that means new beginnings for many things, including fantasy baseball! With Spring Training underway for Major League Baseball teams in Florida and Arizona, it’s time to get your squads together for the upcoming season. One or the best ways to get the thrill of the draft without the commitment of season-long management is by playing Best Ball on DraftKings. Drafts are happening throughout the next several weeks leading up to Opening Day, and to help you make the best choices, check out my Best Ball outfield rankings with the top 100 OF picks listed below.

In the Best Ball Lobby on DraftKings, there are both Tournaments and Sit & Go contests. In tournament formats, teams advance to different rounds of play based on the team they draft from the initial pool. Most of the big contests are in a 12-player format, but if you’re looking for smaller, more casual contests, check out the three-player or six-player Sit & Go’s available. For all the info on scoring and format for Best Ball on DraftKings, check out this helpful information sheet.

In my previous coverage, I highlighted Brent Rooker, Jasson Dominguez and Heston Kjerstad as some of my favorite OF best ball targets from the American League along with Ronald Acuna Jr., Pete Crow-Armstrong and Jake McCarthy as some of my top OF targets from the National League.

After my top 100 Best Ball outfield Rankings, I highlighted a few more players who I ranked significantly different than their ADP, which was taken from the DraftKings Best Ball lobby.

2025 Fantasy Baseball Best Ball Outfield Rankings

6. Jackson Chourio, Milwaukee Brewers

Chourio has an amazing second half in 2024, and I’m all in on the young member of the Brew Crew to be a top-10 outfielder with top-5 upside this season. Chourio will barely turn 21 before this season and still has so much potential growth ahead of him. In his rookie year last year, Chourio hit 21 homers and stole 22 bases while hitting .275 with a .339 wOBA. Those numbers alone would be impressive even if they were evenly spread out. However, after the All-Star break, he had 12 homers, 12 stolen bases a .310 batting average and a .387 wOBA and 150 wRC+.

He hit near the top of the order down the stretch and thrived in the high-pressure push to the playoffs and into the postseason. This year, he has 30/30 potential while hitting atop a very productive lineup which should result in plenty of runs scored and stolen base opportunities. He had 44 stolen bases in 128 games in the minors in 2023, so there’s even more potential for him to break out in that category. His plate approach can also be more refined as he adjusts to the majors as well, and he looks to be well on his way to becoming one of the top fantasy players in the entire sport.

49. Randy Arozarena, Seattle Mariners

Arozarena was traded from the Rays to the Mariners last season, but he still played over 140 games for the fourth straight year and finished with 20 homers and 20 stolen bases for the fourth straight year as well. His average plummeted to .219 with a .324 wOBA after he hit over .250 in each of his previous three seasons with a wOBA over .333. Part of the reason for the drop was that his BABIP dropped from .310 to .275. His barrel rate dropped from 12.3% to 8.3%, but he still had a decent 43.5% hard-hit rate, per Statcast. He also had a much better hard-hit rate after the trade (46.2%) although his barrel rate stayed low.

He worked this offseason with former-MLB All-Star Gary Sheffield, who helped clean up his mechanics. Without an awful start and a midseason transition, Arozarena should be able to have a bounce-back first full season in Seattle and is expected to hit in the middle of the order. Getting him aroud the 50th outfielder off the board is a solid value if he delivers another 20/20 season and can be a solid depth piece to step up in 6-player or 12-player leagues.

83. Jonny DeLuca, Tampa Bay Rays

If you’re looking for a late sleeper, I love Heston Kjerstad, Roman Anthony and Chase DeLauter, but they could all spend part of the season in the minor leagues. If you’re looking for a prospect at the end of your 12-player league who already has a full-time MLB job and should bring a good ceiling, check out DeLuca of the Rays. After the Rays traded Jose Siri to the Mets, DeLuca is expected to be the primary center fielder this season. The 26-year-old righty was the secondary piece the Rays received in the Tyler Glasnow trade last year from the Dodgers and he ended up playing 107 games for Tampa Bay last year. He hit only .217 but did have six homers and 16 stolen bases. In the minors in 2023, he hit .294 with 17 homers and a .415 wOBA across 73 games in Double-A and Triple-A.

While his overall numbers for the season are not extremely impressive, he did go on a very nice run to finish the year, hitting .315 with three homers, three stolen bases, a .351 wOBA and a 32.5% hard-hit rate across his last 28 games. DeLuca seems to understand the huge opportunity in front of him and has been putting in overtime this Spring to realize his potential. His power and speed combo that he showed in the minors and a strong finish to last year are enough for him to be a relatively safe late pick with good upside but also a high enough floor that he is a nice way to round out your roster if you have some boom-or-bust outfielders in your other spots.
