2025 Fantasy Outlook
Collier slashed .265/.404/.466 with 10 home runs, a 17.3 percent walk rate and a 23.5 percent strikeout rate in his final 65 games as a 19-year-old for High-A Dayton. He'd shown impressive signs prior to that three-month run, but this was the summer he validated the Reds' decision to give him a $5 million bonus in the 2022 draft as a 17-year-old out of junior college. Collier has done a good job of keeping his weight in check, as he was listed at 210 pounds at the time of the draft and that figure hasn't changed, although he is now listed at 6-foot-1 instead of 6-foot-2. He split time between third base and designated hitter at High-A, but he may slide to first base by the time he's playing regularly for the Reds in 2026 or 2027. Even though Collier won't be a threat on the bases, he has done enough with the bat at a young enough age to potentially graduate as a top 10 prospect who projects to hit for a high average and on-base percentage with pole to pole power and a cozy home park.

Requires thumb surgery
Reds manager Terry Francona announced that Collier is scheduled to have surgery Thursday on his injured left thumb, Pat Brennan of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. Collier is expected to resume hitting in 4-to-6 weeks.
ANALYSIS
The top prospect was reassigned to minor-league camp Wednesday. Collier is coming off a 2024 season in which he slashed .248/.355/.443 with 20 home runs over 507 plate appearances at High-A Dayton. The thumb surgery shouldn't dramatically affect Collier's long-term outlook, but it could inhibit his power production once he's able to make his 2025 debut in late April or early May.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
The youngest hitter in last year's draft (turned 18 in November), Collier took the road less traveled en route to solidifying himself as a first-round pick. He reclassified from the 2023 class and played junior college ball at Chipola before a brief stint in the Cape Cod League. Collier hit .333/.419/.537 with eight home runs, a 15.3 K% and an 11.6 BB% in 52 games for Chipola and logged a .379 OBP in nine games on the Cape. The Reds bought in, giving Collier a way-over-slot $5 million after selecting him with the 18th overall pick. His pro debut was more of the same, hitting .370 with more walks (seven) than strikeouts (six) and a pair of home runs in nine games in the Arizona Complex League. His advanced approach is what really stands out, given his youth, and at 6-foot-2, 210 pounds, he figures to grow into substantial game power. A lefty-hitting third baseman, he has all the tools to stick there as long as he doesn't outgrow the position, which is a possibility.

Improved conditioning
Collier reported to camp in much better shape after improving his diet in the offseason, Charlie's Chalkboard reports. "I went into the offseason a bit overweight," Collier said. "They told me at instructs make sure you come in next year in shape and can play over a lot of games. I cut out the fast food, the sweet stuff and the snacks. I ate good meals. It's night and day. It allows me to be more mobile. It allows me to move and stretch a lot more and get a lot more of my legs in my swing."
