There was a time when Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was arguably the most exciting prospect in the MLB, leading a group of young legacies who were ready to take the league by storm. Fantasy Baseball officials, in turn, were equally excited to add Guerrero to their teams.
Vladdy is entering his seventh MLB season and while he has been a star, he hasn’t exactly reached the true stardom that many had pegged him for.

But perhaps last season was a sign that Vlad Jr. was putting things together. When he was first touted as a young prospect, the idea was that he would be the rare combination of batting average and power that you don’t see much in today’s MLB.
After back-to-back seasons, Guerrero posted an astonishing .323 batting average and 30 home runs in 2024. If he’s able to build on that production entering his age-26 season and one year into his contract, watch out.
