2025 Player Outlook

Horwitz popped 12 home runs in 97 games last year with Toronto, slashing .265/.357/.433 in the process. Lefties gave him some fits last year, but he punished right-handed pitching to the tune of an .864 OPS, .199 ISO, and 147 wRC+. Pittsburgh will likely utilize him at first base more often than not, and he’ll operate on the large side of a platoon at the position. He has a good feel for the strike zone, and there’s not a lot of swing and miss in his game, which is a plus for this Pittsburgh offense and fantasy managers who play in leagues that value OBP. Horwitz is likely off the radar in mixed leagues, but in deeper NL-only setups, Horwitz could be a sneaky option when Pittsburgh faces a lot of RHP in a given week.
