Addison Barger

Despite not beginning 2025 with the major-league club, Barger finished third on the Blue Jays with 21 home runs during the regular season before playing a huge role in the team's playoff run. Barger slashed .367/.441/.583 with three homers in the postseason, including the first pinch-hit grand slam in World Series history. In his age-25 season, Barger saw most of his playing time at third base, though he also made 57 appearances in right field, maintaining dual eligibility for 2026. What Barger lacks in terms of plate skills, he makes for with a lot of hard contact, ranking in the top 10 percent of the league in hard-hit rate last season. On the heels of a breakout campaign, Barger's at-bats against right-handed pitching appear secure thanks in part to his ability to handle multiple positions for Toronto. Read Past Outlooks
