This column will help you target batters who may be undervalued heading into draft day and have the potential to take a significant step forward in 2025. In many leagues, they can be considered breakout targets.
Let's try to find the most appealing breakout targets by looking at highly-skilled bats who earned modest value in 2024.
These bats have the best projected skills among those who generated less than $15 last season:
