Garrett Mitchell

Mitchell sustained a hand fracture late in the spring and didn't make his season debut until July, which has become an unfortunate theme early in his career, as he was limited to 19 games in 2023 due to a torn labrum in his shoulder. The 2020 first-round pick was once again productive when available and had a .255/.342/.469 slash line with eight home runs and 11 stolen bases in 69 contests. His strikeout rate remained high at 31.7 percent, though that's an improvement from his first two seasons (which is a sample size of only 47 games), and he also improved his walk rate to 11.3 percent. Mitchell has showcased his prospect pedigree when healthy, but it's unclear if that production is sustainable for a full season given he's played in just 88 games across the past two seasons. The Brewers have plenty of outfield depth with Blake Perkins, Sal Frelick, Jackson Chourio and Christian Yelich, so Mitchell could have his workload managed even if he's playing well and has earned an everyday role. Between the crowded outfield and the injury concerns, Mitchell is a risky bet for fantasy managers in 2025. The payoff if that bet hits, however, could be a 20-20 outfielder in a strong lineup.
