James Wood, Bruce Turang on what makes an MLB player exciting - ESPN
32 entrants across MLB’s young talent pool illustrate that excitement in baseball comes from a blend of tools, not a single stat. James Wood’s rare 6-foot-7 frame combines power, speed, and graceful movement as he explodes on contact. Brice Turang embodies defense, baserunning, and middle-infield agility fueling Milwaukee’s dynamic style. Shohei Ohtani’s historic two-way dominance looms largest, while the pitching cadre—Tarik Skubal, Garrett Crochet, Paul Skenes, Jacob deGrom—emphasizes elite K-BB and velocity. The bracket also gives shine to stars like Judge, Soto, Tatis Jr., and newcomers such as Nick Kurtz and Roman Anthony, underscoring the sport’s growing pipeline of multi-faceted athletes.
Which entrant offers the clearest fantasy breakout path in 2025 and why?Who is the best value pick among the entrants for a 12-team league in 2025?How does Ohtani’s two-way profile influence draft strategy in fantasy leagues?Which pitchers present the best risk-reward in 2025 bracket?
