2025 Fantasy Outlook
Young is a flawed player, but he's already a success story as a seventh-round draft pick by the Nationals in 2021. He got the call early last season when Victor Robles hit the injured list and never gave the center-field job back. Speed is his greatest asset and he used it to swipe 33 bags as a rookie, though he was also caught 10 times. The big problem is the minimal power, with Young managing just three home runs in 521 plate appearances last season. His offensive game is built around putting the ball in play -- often via the bunt -- and booking it down the line while looking to take the extra base. He was below average at the plate last season, but to justify a regular role in the Washington lineup he just has to do enough as a nine-hole hitter to complement his excellent defense in center.
