Jeff McNeil had a rough start to 2024 before hitting his stride in the second half of 2024. He got injured in September and was able to be activated for the NLCS. The following are projections on how he may fare in 2025, factoring in his past performance and injury history.

We anticipate McNeil will play in 125 -130 games, accumulating 450-475 plate appearances. He’s projected to have a .270 – .280 batting average, hit between 8-12 home runs, score 50-65 runs, and record 50-60 RBIs. Additionally, we expect him to steal 4-7 bases, with a walk rate of 6.7% and a strikeout rate of 12.6%. His on-base percentage (OBP) is projected to be .325 – .335, and his slugging percentage (SLG) at .380-.400, resulting in a weighted runs created plus (wRC+) of 100-110. 

If McNeil can regain his 2022 form, that would make an already dangerous lineup even more formidable.
