Week 17 of the 2025 Fantasy Baseball season brings an exciting set of waiver wire pickups for points leagues. With several players available in over 50% of leagues, these free-agents offer potential to transform your roster. Romy Gonzalez, listed at just 12% on ESPN, has excelled against lefties, slashing .389 against them and coming off a hot streak. Nolan Schanuel of the Angels, surprisingly low at 17%, ranks high among first basemen and faces a favorable schedule. Ernie Clement continues to build momentum facing lefties, and Gavin Sheets also remains a strong option against right-handers.

Second base offers Romy Gonzalez and Otto Lopez, the latter also showing promise against righties. While Jeff McNeil and Jonathan India are worth considering, both have had inconsistent performances. The third base position is slightly weaker this week, with Ernie Clement leading the charge. In the outfield, Chandler Simpson is showing great form with an average above .300 at home, while Tyler Freeman can be a sneaky addition due to favorable matchups in Coors Field. These insights will help you navigate the waiver wire effectively as we approach the final stretch of the season!
