2025 Fantasy Outlook
DeLuca was part of the return in the Tyler Glasnow trade and was supposed to be a reserve outfielder along the lines of Sam Fuld of Tampa Bay lore. DeLuca was pressed into duty early in the season and it initially looked as if DeLuca was going to take the Super Sam Fuld cape off the mantle at Tropicana Field as he had 10 RBI and three runs scored in his first week with the club. DeLuca went on to hit .211/.273/.315 the rest of the season, going 14 of 20 on the bases and drove in just 21 more runs in his final 346 at bats. DeLuca has shown the ability to hit throughout the minor leagues as well as accept his walks, but his career line of .222/.281/.342 in just over 400 major-league plate appearances does not exactly portend better days are coming. DeLuca has value in AL-Only formats, but overexposing him as a regular exposes his limitations. Read Past Outlooks

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Deluca got his first taste of the majors last season, slashing a respectable .262/.311/.429 with two homers, six RBI and a stolen base over a 24-game, 45-plate-appearance stint. The 25-year-old also showed well between Double-A and Triple-A with a .956 OPS, 17 homers, 53 RBI and 12 steals across 73 contests, and he's hit well in each of his minor-league stops, giving him little left to prove on the farm. It remains to be seen how well his minor-league power will translate in the big leagues, but Deluca is an exceptional athlete with a background in track (per Statcast, his sprint speed ranked in the 97th percentile last year) and an excellent glove. His ability to play all three outfield spots likely appealed to Tampa Bay when they acquired him from the Dodgers in the Tyler Glasnow trade. Deluca represents a premium short-side platoon option with the talent to expand his role if more playing time opens up.
