Rhys Hoskins's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

The Milwaukee Brewers exercised their 2025 club option on first baseman Rhys Hoskins. After missing the entire 2023 campaign with a torn ACL, Hoskins posted a modest .214/.303/.419 line in 2024 with 26 home runs, 82 RBI, and a 53:149 BB:K ratio. Hoskins has now hit at least 25 home runs in each of the past three seasons he has played in but has seen his batting average drop lower in each consecutive year as well. Under the hood, the 31-year-old posted a strong 12.7% barrel rate but with a poor 26.3% whiff rate and 28.8% K rate. Hoskins remains a depth infield option heading into 2025 with an upside for power in category leagues. His hefty strikeout rate significantly lowers his value in points leagues.

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins continued his power surge on Saturday evening, going 1-for-4 with a three-run shot. Hoskins went deep in the fourth inning, scoring Willy Adames and Jake Bauers. This was the 31-year-old's second consecutive game, tallying a round-tripper, and third in his past six games. This is a great sign, as Hoskins has set a monthly high of six long balls through July with a .492 SLG. His previous high was five home runs in April. Even though Hoskins has struggled to find consistency this summer, he is worth putting in your lineup for the time being, as he enjoys this hot stretch.

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins and rookie outfielder Jackson Chourio will both start on the bench on Thursday in the series finale against the visiting Pittsburgh Pirates. Jake Bauers is starting at first base and batting sixth, while Blake Perkins will make his fifth straight start in center field and hit in the nine-hole against Pirates rookie right-hander Paul Skenes. Hoskins, 31, went 4-for-25 with three home runs and six RBI while starting each of the last seven games, so he'll just be getting a normal day of rest in the difficult matchup. The 20-year-old Chourio started each of the previous six games and has been on a heater offensively since June 23, going 18-for-53 (.340) with two homers, five doubles, nine RBI, five walks, two steals and 12 runs scored. After a slow start in his first MLB season, Chourio is now up to nine long balls, 35 RBI, 10 steals and 39 runs scored.

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins made his only hit count in Monday's 6-3 win over the Rangers, going 1-for-4 with a grand slam and two strikeouts. Hoskins came to the plate in the bottom of the sixth inning down by two with the bases loaded and no outs, ambushing a Jacob Latz fastball deep into the left-field seats. Despite the blast, the 31-year-old has hit for less average and power than usual, slashing .224/.316/.423 with 11 HR, 23 runs scored, and 35 RBI in 232 plate appearances. The good news is that he has picked things up a bit lately and now has a six-game hitting streak. Hopefully, he will be able to continue this for fantasy managers.

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rhys Hoskins is not in Sunday's lineup as the Brewers look to avoid a four-game sweep at the hands of the San Diego Padres. Hoskins has started the past six games and will cede first base duties to 23-year-old Tyler Black, who will bat second. Hoskins has posted a modest .223/.317/.411 slash line through his first 56 games in Milwaukee with 10 home runs and two stolen bases. However, he holds a strong 13.4% barrel rate, which suggests he should see an increase in home runs during the summer. Black recently rejoined the major league roster on June 19 and has posted a .226/.294/.290 line through 10 games this season. He has a difficult matchup ahead of him this afternoon in San Diego right-hander Michael King, who has posted a stellar 1.69 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, and 9:34 BB:K ratio in his past five starts.
