2025 Fantasy Outlook
Locklear got his first taste of the big leagues last season but looked overmatched in his brief time with the big club, striking out at more than a 40 percent rate in 49 plate appearances. Contact has not been a major issue for Locklear in the minors with a 22.6 percent strikeout rate, so that number should stabilize over time. Locklear doesn't seem to need any more seasoning after slashing .272/.382/.468 with 16 homers in 111 contests between Double- and Triple-A in 2024, but the Mariners don't appear ready to hand him a full-time job yet. Even if he has to bide his time back in the minors for a while longer, Locklear remains an intriguing power bat who should get his opportunity in Seattle eventually. Read Past Outlooks
Hot bat since return to Tacoma
Locklear owns a .409 average and 1.162 OPS with a double, two home runs, five RBI, a walk and seven runs over the 23 plate appearances he's logged with Triple-A Tacoma since being optioned July 30.
ANALYSIS
The rookie's latest stint with the Mariners lasted just five games and 17 plate appearances, a stretch during which Locklear produced an .067 average and mammoth 47.1 percent strikeout rate. However, Locklear has looked right back in his element with the Rainiers, producing multi-hit efforts in three of his past four contests. While Justin Turner (hand) has taken a hold of the everyday role at first base since his trade to Seattle, it's still conceivable Locklear gets another look at the big-league level down the stretch if he continues to perform in a similar fashion at Tacoma.
