Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Lee served as the White Sox's primary backstop in 2024, but he struggled during his rookie campaign with 12 home runs, a .591 OPS and 31 percent strikeout rate in 125 games. His six stolen bases were solid for a catcher, but a .210 batting average and 4.3 percent walk rate limited his opportunities on the basepaths. Lee was never a world-beater at the plate in the minors with a .747 OPS, 30 homers and 25 steals in 195 career games at the Triple-A level, but the power and speed production showed some promise. He has a long way to go toward being fantasy relevant, and his opportunities could be limited in 2025 with prospect Edgar Quero poised to make his MLB debut. Read Past Outlooks
Sitting against righty again
Lee is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.
ANALYSIS
Lee drew the start behind the plate Opening Day while the Angels sent lefty Yusei Kikuchi to the bump, but the catcher will now hit the bench for the second game in a row. The Angels have deployed right-handed starters Saturday and Sunday, so Lee may be on the short side of a platoon at catcher with Matt Thaiss, who draws a second straight start.

Stat Review
How does Korey Lee compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Recent RotoWire Articles Featuring Korey Lee See More
Todd Zola debuts his Weekly Hitter Rankings for the season where a couple teams will be playing seven times over the next seven days.
The American League waiver wire is packed with options as Opening Day approaches, and the return of Nolan Jones to the Cleveland Guardians should settle their murky right field situation.
Several job battles have been settled around the American League, including the Royals' fifth starter job, which appears to have been won by Kris Bubic.
Plenty of starting spots are available in the AL Central this spring, including a pair at the back of the Tigers' rotation, where Jackson Jobe seems to have a pretty clear path.
Todd Zola explains how projected playing time and a skills-based approach helps him identify upside plays late in a draft, as well as leading him to put Aaron Judge at the top of his personal rankings.
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Lee was traded from the Astros to the White Sox at the 2023 trade deadline and played in 24 games down the stretch for Chicago. The 25-year-old struggled to get anything going offensively with a .077/.143/.138 slash line and 28.6 percent strikeout rate in 70 plate appearances, though he looked solid behind the plate. He had a .711 OPS in 82 games at Triple-A last season, and he hit just five homers compared to the 25 he slugged in 2022. Depending on the White Sox's offseason additions, Lee should have a chance to earn the start Opening Day in 2024, though he'd be a risky play for fantasy managers. As it stands, Carlos Perez and Max Stassi are his main competition.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely staying put
According to Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times, the White Sox aren't expected to consider trading Lee ahead of the July 30 deadline.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old was acquired by Chicago from Houston at the deadline last year and is serving as the White Sox's primary backstop in 2024. Lee has struggled in his first full MLB campaign with a .608 OPS in 78 contests, and he's been particularly unproductive since the beginning of June with a .153/.187/.297 slash line and 34.1 percent strikeout rate in 118 at-bats.
