2025 Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Massey was plagued by a recurring ligament sprain in his back last season which held him to 100 games played for the Royals and limited him to designated hitter duty in others. When on the field, Massey produced new career highs with a .190 ISO and 102 wRC+ while cutting his strikeout rate down to just 15.7 percent. He also graded out well defensively for the second year in a row. Massey does his best to get the most out of his fairly limited power with a career 44.2 percent fly ball rate and 52.8 percent pull rate. Unfortunately, Kauffman Stadium is among the most difficult in baseball for left-handed power. The 27-year-old's lack of base stealing chops puts a lot of pressure on his bat, and there might not be enough juice there. When you add in the back problems and Jonathan India added to the second-base mix, you'd have to squint pretty hard to envision Massey having a major fantasy impact. Read Past Outlooks

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Kansas City has achieved a commendable amount of success in developing internal position-player talent, even during this recent run of poor overall on-field results. It looked like Massey might join that lineage when he put up an .882 OPS with Low-A Quad Cities in 2021 and a .312/.371/.532 slash line between Double-A Northwest Arkansas and Triple-A Omaha in 2022. The early MLB returns, though, are not so promising. Massey ranked 166th in on-base percentage (.274) out of the 168 big-league hitters who made more than 450 plate appearances in 2023. He connected for 15 home runs and stole six bases but finished in just the 36th percentile in average exit velocity and 49th percentile in sprint speed. It would come as a surprise -- a welcome surprise given his cheap draft-day cost -- if Massey were to pull off a fantasy breakout this year at age 26.
