2025 Fantasy Outlook
Frelick remains a much more reliable real-life contributor than fantasy asset, as he totaled just two home runs, 32 RBI and 66 runs scored in 145 games in 2024. The value for the Brewers comes from his strong defense (plus-16 Defensive Runs Saved and plus-six Outs Above Average), speed (18 steals) and contact skills (.259 average and 15 percent strikeout rate). Frelick's average exit velocity of 83.4 mph and hard-hit rate of 19.4 percent were both the worst in the majors among qualified players, so there isn't much more meat to get off the bone. He could see more action in the infield in 2025 following the departure of Willy Adames, but that potential versatility won't significantly affect his fantasy upside given the current production. Frelick could improve his average, stolen bases and runs scored as he enters his second full MLB season, but his profile as a hitter makes him an untenable option in all but the deepest of fantasy leagues.

Signed a one-year contract with the Brewers in March of 2025.
Not ready to return
Frelick (hamstring) isn't active for Friday's game against the Marlins, Sophia Minnaert of FanDuel Sports Network Wisconsin reports.
Analysis
Frelick was aiming to return for Friday's contest, but he'll have his return date pushed back at least one day. The outfielder is tending to a strained left hamstring, and he'll go through a full pregame workout Friday.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
A 2021 first-round pick, Frelick made his MLB debut in late July and had three homers and an .870 OPS in his first 21 big-league games, but he struggled the rest of the way and finished with a .246/.341/.351 slash line in 223 plate appearances. The underwhelming finish aside, there was plenty to like about the young outfielder's first taste of the big leagues, with a 12.6 percent walk rate and 16.6 percent strikeout rate standing out. He also played well defensively with plus-six DRS while splitting his time between center and right field. Frelick still has the upside of a potential high-average leadoff man and should have the leg up on a starting job entering spring training, especially with his prospect pedigree. However, there's hardly any guarantees for his role in 2024 given Milwaukee's plethora of young outfield talent.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Limited work at third base
Frelick likely won't see much playing time at third base early in the season in the wake of Garrett Mitchell's finger injury, per Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Analysis
Frelick appeared set to begin the campaign as a regular at the hot corner and pick up dual-position eligibility early in the season, but he'll now see most of his time in center field. The 23-year-old's low-power profile wouldn't fit a prototypical third baseman, but the extra position would certainly be a benefit to fantasy managers, assuming he achieves it later in the year.
