- In this video, I predict 10 MLB players who will breakout in 2024. Justin Steele and Yennier Cano both had breakout seasons last year out of no where, so I try to predict the next players like them to perform out of no where in this video.

tristón casas, jeter downs, cj abrahms, brandon pfaddt, brandon marsh, Logan ohoppe, tanner bibee, thairo estrada, bryce miller, edouard julien, patrick bailey and kyle harrison.
Casas and Marsh already kinda did break out, but to see them repeat it and prove they can do it again would be cool to see
Downs would shock me but I agree with everyone else.
Great video, man! Really thorough analysis and it’s much appreciated!
Thank you for the kind words!
Dude you’re killing it man! Love this video and your editing.
Hopefully I can get my videos on this level
Thank you so much! Took me about 10 years to get good at editing videos, and I know I can get even better for sure. Just takes playing around with things to produce the best content
Great video 👏 exactly what I look for when the upcoming season! Subscribed 👊🏼
Thank you so much!
I love cj Abrams I would love to see him have a really good year next season
I think he's super solid and think his OPS will improve next year. He's super young and has high potential still
I agree hes really good and can't wait to see him play in 24
@@BlakeRobins0nI have to decide on either Abrams or Luis Robert as my last keeper ; finding it hard to decide
@@danielj7405 Go with Robert Jr. for sure. There are plenty of quality shortstops
@@BlakeRobins0n Yeah was thinking that too - thanks
I think Volpe will definitely take a big step in 2024. Although his rookie campaign wasn’t the greatest, I feel he will become more comfortable in the box. His defense and baserunning is already very good so I think he will focus on offense this season to get on base more and maybe a little bit of power too. He could definitely be the hyped up prospect we thought he would be with a breakout 2024 season.
I think he'll be better offensively than he was in 2023, but don't think he'll ever be a fantastic offensive player. I think he'll be a great defensive shortstop with good speed and a Dansby Swanson type bat, which is really good if I'm being honest. Just not sure if I see him posting an OPS over .800 in a season soon
@@BlakeRobins0nif Volpe’s ceiling is Swanson I’d absolutely take that
Man can you imagine the pressure on that kid- if he is ever free from that watch out. The game is 90% mental
You rock man! More video, more more more on fantasy and your thoughts!
Thank you so much! Will do
I see Gavin Lux emerging as a top 10 shortstop next year. He has all the tools, and now has the starting spot.
I'm a big fan of Lux and him just being a Top 15 shortstop would be a win for the Dodgers. There isn't much pressure on him so I really hope he has a good year
@@BlakeRobins0nNot this year, I said he wouldn't start in 24' and people thought I was crazy. He needs to take it slow eventually he will be good but I don't think he will be great. FYI I'm a Dodger fan never thought he was a Seager replacement.
@@erickvasquez5407 Very accurate assessment. The good thing for Lux is this Dodgers team doesn't need him to be great for the team to succeed. The lineup is so loaded that he just needs to do his job okay and they'll be fine
This video is the good stuff. Excellent job!
Thank you so much!
As a Sox fan, I'm hoping Santos can break out to show some bright spots on this team
I think he will for sure. All the signs are pointing to a big season for him. I hope they give him tons of high-leverage opportunities because I think he'll be ready for them
He was very good last season. Him and Luis Robert jr.
He surely will with the Seattle pitching staff!
Too bad he's with Seattle now 😂😂
Love the vid. Can you please make the player's stats a little bigger going forward?
Thank you, of course
Love the Kelenic call, great lineup protection too. He can bang out of the 8 spot in Atlanta.
I think my boy Triston Casas is going to break out Bigtime next season too. Great video by the way
Thank you! The only reason I didn't go with Casas is because I feel like he already was really good in 2023, a lot of people just didn't realize it. I think Bello will take a bigger step forward than Casas in 2024 only because of how solid Casas has already been if that makes sense
Ya he is a good pick for sure
Casas and Bello are set for big years. It's a shame the front office doesn't seem to want to get them any help
@@tylerbrown565 I don't think it's necessarily the front office, it's more the ownership. They make so much money and just don't spend it
The Padres catcher Luis Campusano is going to have a huge year. All he needs to do is stay healthy. Hes a good contact hitter who has a lot of pop. He was a considered a top 50 prospect but regressed. Then he built himself back up and performed very well in the league. Unfortunately he had a lot of nagging injuries last year.
This ^
Great Video. You know your stuff
I appreciate that!
Enjoyed the video! Love some CJ Abrams, if he can break out from already being a 3.4 WAR guy then I’ll be very excited. I want these Soto guys to succeed, and I’m a Padres fan. I hope that CJ and Woods can be cornerstones for the next good Nats team, and the rest can be good pieces at least.
Thank you so much! I don’t think his bat has hit its peak yet. Would really suck in a way to see all those former Padres’ prospects pan out for the Nationals, but Michael King and Drew Thorpe should be good soon for the club
Appreciate that as a Nats fan as the knife is still in my heart from losing Soto. Gore was good as well last year.
@@BelovedChatter James Wood is going to be a STUD for the Nats as soon as this season. I'm talking 5-tool potential
I really like Pasquantino. He looks good. Great Video!
Thank you very much! I'm a big fan too and hope he can stay healthy this upcoming season
Patrick Bailey's pickoff throw to first base to get Geraldo Perdomo and end the game in the 9th with a 1 run lead was EPIC.
Yeah that was wild
Thanks for including my man Gregory Santos. He’s been solid for us.
I have a feeling he will take a major step forward in 2024
I argue with the Ms he is even more likely to break out. They seem to do magic with relievers lately
Nice list. I’m high on James outman Bobby miller and nick pratto. How do you feel about them?
I think Outman will have a similar season to 2023, maybe even slightly better because he shouldn't have to face as many left-handed pitchers with the Dodgers' depth being incredible this year. I think Miller can for sure be an all-star in 2024, pretty crazy that he's the Dodgers number 4 starter. I like Pratto a lot too. He played baseball with my cousin in high school and his bat is legit. Just hope he keeps getting reps in the majors and stays healthy because he's potential is very high still
Totally agree with Abrahms… great second half last year
This is great information
Thank you
Great video, I play in a AL only roto league and I have 4 players you mentioned on my roster.
1. Bryan Woo
2. Dominic Canzone
3.Brayan Bello
4. Taj Bradley
That's super cool, love the pickups! Really hoping Canzone gets his chance this year for the M's because he can mash big time
I hope our right about Taj Bradley. I pull at least one card of his every box I open. Thanks for list, fun picks.
I feel very confident in him having a great season. Thank you for the kind words!
Cool video. I really don’t like when people in any sport predict prospects or rookies as breakout players. The sole reason being either guys that are top prospects/rookies are expected to be solid and rookies/prospects who are not elite prospects nobody should have the knowledge or foresight to predict it. I like the concept of guys of predicting guys who were once highly regarded or guys who flashed potential in a small sample size. I think it would be lazy for someone to put on a breakout list players like Jackson Chourio or even Evan Carter( who is probably going to break out in the sense of playing a full year, but his small MLB sample size with prospect status should be indicative that he is already a really good player).
Thank you! Totally agree, that’s exactly why I picked who I picked. Seen too many guys say Jackson Holliday is gonna breakout in 2024, such a bold take lol
I personally really like Clark Schmidt to breakout next year. He’s gonna be in his second year as a full time starter and is gonna have more mentorship from Cole. He had a pretty decent season this year especially after the first part.
Good pick. Hopefully they don't trade for a starter and somehow push him out of the rotation. I like his stuff a lot. Saw today the Yankees and Marcus Stroman were getting closer to a deal
3 mariners on here lol, good luck to Kelenic sad he didn’t work out with us 😢!
My super sleeper is Christian Pache. He is 25 and had been plagued by injury, but he still has the potential to break out and have a solid career. He will get playing time this year, which given him a chance to finally do what his talent promised.
Now that's a bold take! Defensively he's great, but I just don't know if he'll get enough bats in Philadelphia to actually breakout
@@BlakeRobins0n That's why I have him as a super sleeper. I think that his spring training will have a lot to do with it, but I think he will get ABs in Philly.
They just signed Whit Merrifield so unfortunately there goes half or more of Pache's projected playing time. I know whit is better known for second base but actually had more OF starts than infield last year plus with Turner and Stott locked in at their positions further proves my perspective. I doubt Pache will be a Philly very much longer based on my opinion. I like Pache but yes his bat kinda sucks
@@benmoritz8860 I still think that Spring Training performances will play a big role. Whit is nearing the end of his productivity whereas Pache is still at an age where a breakout can happen.
Time will tell. It is certainly a longshot.
I hope you're right. With Marsh out for spring training like you said Pache will definitely get a chance to stand out. Personally I have no idea why they signed a 35 year old second baseman they really don't need for 8 million a year unless they're trying to build a trade package for a pitcher or something like that. I wish they would sign Trevor Bauer if he's actually innocent
Ryan Pepiot is gonna be a Cy contender, dude fits the Rays mold perfectly. Jeffrey Springs 2.0
Yeah I totally agree he can be if he stays healthy. Wish the Dodgers didn't move him in the trade for Glasnow, but there clearly wouldn't be room for him in the rotation.
You have 3 mariners on this list which i hope they all can have a breakout year it would really boost the team to the top of the al east especially with all the other offense added this year
I'm with you on Abrams. I think he will be solid.
Dude you killed it with the video👍 Go Dodgers!
Thank you! Go Dodgers!
Liked & subscribed. My pick is OF/DH/1B Heston Kjerstad of the Baltimore Orioles.
Thank you very much! I like Kjerstad a lot but didn’t pick him because he barely got a chance in the majors
So, if I'm understanding you correctly, he would have needed to have played more in 2023? What if turns out to be Gunnar Henderson 2.0? 🙂
@@Galantski Since he's technically still a rookie heading into 2024, I wouldn't really call it a breakout season if he has a monster year. I wouldn't call Gunnar's 2023 season a breakout year because it was his first season in the majors
When Kelenic gets in that Braves lineup he’s going to be a stud.
I completely agree. There should be a lot less pressure for him to contribute offensively with how stacked their lineup is
As long as Pfaadt gets some movement on the ball, he is awesome. When he throws his pitches with minimal spin, he gets rocked. He definitely has the ability to be a high level closer imo.
That's an interesting thought. I think the Dbacks will stick with him in the starting rotation as long as he's doing well
Arcia 's 2023 performance was basically identical to his 2020's actually. It's defense that took a major leap.
For sure, but figured I'd mention him considering 2020 was a shortened season
Came here curious to see if you’d have Kelenic, bingo. Big Mariners fan, hope he reaches his potential in Atlanta
Even if he does end up doing well on Atlanta, I don't think he ever would have seen that success in Seattle. Tough move for Seattle to move on, but I think it was best for both parties
I’ve seen Instagram videos of HOFer Pedro Martinez giving in person tips in the Dominican Republic to Bello! Bello is the one to look out for 🙌🙌
Pedro is one the best in the business. Excited to see what Bello does in 2024
Pedro has been working with him for a couple years now. Love Bello and I am expecting big things from him
I have like 5 cj abrams autigraohs he my favorite player and when he sees me he comes over and talk to me I go to lots of mats game
That's super cool!
@@BlakeRobins0n thks your videos are really cool and good
@AlphaSports1 I would love to get his autograph for my nephew, you're lucky...
Santos is with Seattle now. Heck of a back-end in the M’s bullpen.
Love the move for Seattle, don't hate it for the White Sox
Intrigued most by the Kelenic and Woo
Very confident in both of them to do me well this season
Oh and one last one. As on orioles fan I’m praying every night for Dylan cease he may be low key the best pitcher in the league. He is on breakout alert as well for me
Stuff wise, he's one of the best pitchers in the league. He just needs to have more consistent control because that's what held him back in 2023. I would not be shocked if he's on the Orioles in 2024
Thanks man glad we are seeing similar things, I’m scooping the players I mentioned cards now before the blow. Especially protto his stuff is crazy cheap right now
@@ROYALCHEETAHBOYD That's awesome! My dad has been doing that with top prospects over the past few years and some of them have grown a lot in value. Super glad to see other people are still collecting them
I think Ryan Pepiot would have been worth mentioning, perhaps over Bradley. His stuff with the Dodgers last year was filthy. Haven’t seen a rookie come up throwing gas like that in a while.
I love Pepiot a lot as a Dodgers fan, but he’s only thrown over 100 innings in a season once in his professional career. He needs to stay healthy
I wanna see Pfaadt thrive if only because the fact that the Dodgers and Phillies couldnt solve him in the playoffs was the funniest thing and the NL West could use more LAD kryptonite
I think Pfaadt will build off what he did in the playoffs heading into 2024. He'll have a safe spot in the Dbacks rotation for sure and should have all the confidence in the world right now
Pumped for santos in Seattle
He is going to be an electric setup man to Munoz
S/O Bryan Woo. His delivery is ultra smooth. Effortless 96+ on the cheese
I’m a big fan of his. Hopefully the Mariners give him a spot in their rotation
I think Colton Cowser will have a breakout season. I know he’s a rookie still but his short time in the bigs was really bad. However, I think he’ll figure it out
Assuming he's still on the Orioles and not traded for Dylan Cease, I think he will. Only left him off this list because he was a pretty high prospect and has barely played in MLB so far. His bat is really solid and I think it will translate in the big leagues soon
Glad we have got santos now, but not excited for jk beak out
Welcome to Seattle Santos⚾️🔥🔥🔥🔥
I am glad you mentioned Kelenic. Atlanta has turned a few players' careers at the plate around recently. Eddie Rosario had a super end to 2021 and that NLCS MVP. Adam Duvall became a highly valuable DH after hitting like .125 in his last season in Cincinnati.
I think it will also help that there won't be as much pressure on him to produce with how many all stars he has protecting him in the lineup
@@BlakeRobins0n Dude will be hitting in front of Acuna for most of the season. He's going to be seeing a lot of good pitches.
I know this is a homer Pick but honestly I think Kerry Carpenter can make a huge jump and his swing is a great left hand swing with pop but even if he doesn’t do that he still tortures Guardian’s pitchers in his career so far but can see him in the future having 35 100 season
Totally agree, but I thought he already had an awesome season in 2023. Predicting him to breakout in 2024 would essentially be me thinking he'll be a top 20 player in baseball, and I just don't see that happening
Patrick Bailey has the potential to surpass Buster Posey pretty much has behind the plate, if this switch hitter improves his bat he will be a number one catcher
I don't know if he'll be better than Adley Rutschman honestly. He's just better in every aspect
@@BlakeRobins0n We will see, but his defense is pretty damn good
@@michaelrotter1134 Oh 100%, it's probably the best in the league. I just have a hard time seeing any catcher do what Rutschman is doing both offensively and defensively combined
@@BlakeRobins0n I understand and don't disagree but Bailey was in high A just a few weeks before being called up. For me that gives him an edge as he hasn't even gotten the benefit of coming up through the system. Makes me wonder how he will do once getting the training.
I think Casey Schmitt could also break out Im this coming season. We saw flashes from him but he could definitely improve next year
Good pick too. I like Schmitt a lot. Hope he gets more playing time for the Giants this season
I like pfaadt but another dback who could have a massive breakout season is alek Thomas, he just got snubbed of a golden glove and had a great playoff run I feel like he will be a solid 15-25 HR hitter and be in the golden glove race every year
I think Thomas is good, but don't think he'll play everyday, especially with the team just signing Joc Pederson
Patrick Bailey 🔥
freddy fermin for the royals *you might’ve put him on here i did finish the video yet*
I think Fermin is pretty underrated, but with Salvador Perez and MJ Melendez still there, I don't see him getting enough playing time to have a big year
I really like canzone as Mariner fan here. He just needs MLB play time to adjust to MLB level…he’ll
Get it going
100%. Really hope he gets consistent playing time
Agree. A lot of M's fans still want another outfield bat, which I understand, but I wouldn't hate giving Dom more at bats and seeing what he can do. There's always still time to trade for a bat at the deadline if he isn't able to prove himself.
The Nationals are gonna be fun this year!
Pfaddt the next Ian Anderson. Heard it here first
As in a bad way, I assume? Anderson just needs to stay healthy to be a quality pitcher honestly. His FIP was almost identical in 2021 in 2022 while the ERA was vastly different
@BlakeRobins0n yeah. I don't think he will live up to the postseason success similar to Anderson. The league will catchup. Very rarely does a rookie shine in a short postseason stint and stay super successful
@@hoodiewaffles Definitely possible
As an angels fan I'd love to see Neto and O'Hoppe break out
For sure. The 2024 Angels' season should be all about giving the young guys playing time and watching them grow
I assume you think Santos will close. Otherwise, why would he be useful in fantasy, save for the rare holds league?
Now that he got traded to the Mariners, he’ll be in a setup role. Still worth having him in a fantasy league with holds in my opinion
My BO player is OF Chas McCormick-Houston
I think Chas already broke out in 2023. He just didn’t get as many at bats for whatever reason. Dusty didn’t seem to like him that much
I’m choosing Luis Garcia (Nationals) as my top sleeper pick going into 2024.
Actually, looking back, I’d say it’s between either him or Jesus Sanchez of the Marlins.
What is really cool is my brothers friend is name cole Phillips he got traded to the Seattle Mariners for jarred Kelenic
That's fire
I have confidence in Justin Steele for the Cubs this season
I do too, but think he already broke out in 2023 so I didn't include him on my list
Abrams and Kim for sure
I'm the biggest Kelenic truther of all time. I'm gonna make a hype video coming very soon. I made one last year too.
Can you put a list in text
Santos is a Mariner now lol
Ernie Clement and Emmett Sheehan are both going to be studs
Pepiot and DeLuca will stand out as stars on the rays
And Gavin Stone will also break out
Not sure if Clement, Deluca and Stone will get enough playing time to breakout this upcoming season
👀 1:27
And santos is now a mariner
Yoshida will bounce back after a lacklustre end to his season after a massive start.
Hope he does. Red Sox will really need a good season out of him if they want to have any chance of making the playoffs
Vaughn Grissom
I like Grissom but don't see a breakout happening in 2024
For the sake of Cardinals fans hope the triumvirate of Jordan Walker, Nolan Gorman and Masyn Winn excel.
Brendan Donovan will receive MVP votes this season
Now that is a bold take!
3 mariners on this list
I’d say ha Seong broke out in 2022 not 23
Debatable for sure. Stole 26 more bases, put up a higher OPS and won his first gold glove in 2023
Yainer Diaz
I would say Yainer broke out in 2023 already but he’s still very underrated
wow no mention of Zack Gelof haha shame
I picked him as one of the most underrated players in the league in a previous video on my channel. I only wanted to put 10 players in this video too. Love Gelof's game
Where's Bo Naylor??
Not on my list
Joey Meneses......that's all im gonna say.
I would be shocked if he has a breakout season. He's almost 32 and posted 0.5 bWAR in a full 2023 season. His peripherals are really bad too. You never know though
Great work but as a Vinnie P owner he wasn't having a good season 247 only 9 hrs 61 game 27 rbi's. Don't make my mistake stay away. Go after Naylor or Abreu instead.
Thank you! I know he didn’t have a good season, but I’m still very high on him. You talking Bo Naylor or Josh Naylor?
I like both. I feel they are great value picks at their position.
@@BlakeRobins0n
The thing is that Canzone is going to have to fight for his playing time or hope for an injury. He's the 4th or 5th OF for SEA at the moment behind Julio, Haniger, Railey, and maybe Marlowe.
Yeah I know. Made the list before the moves for Haniger and Raley but still think Canzone is too good to not get playing time. At the worst, he should platoon against right-handed pitching which should help his stats
Haniger unfortunately is made of glass
@@bartwilliams381 Haniger has had a lot of bad luck injuries. I don't think you can blame poor durability for getting hit in the face or a foul ball to the nuts. He's only half made of glass.
Brice Turang?
Turang actually did cross my mind but I'm not sure if he'll get enough consistent playing time. The Brewers still might be good enough to win the NL Central in 2024 so I don't know how much he'll play
Davies Schneider
Schneider was a tough one because his 2023 season was insane in a small sample size. If he continues to do that in 2024, I'm not even sure if it would be considered a breakout because he already was awesome in 2023
Do u still think Santos will breakout with Seattle??
I definitely think so. T-Mobile Park is the most pitcher-friendly stadium in MLB, and he won't get any save opportunities for the Mariners, which should relieve some pressure off of him. I think he has a great 2024 season
@@BlakeRobins0n I agree! What was you’re thoughts on that trade btw? Thought the white Sox got a good haul from him, I like Berroa a lot 💯
@@brennannedeff6322 I like the deal for both sides. Makes sense for the White Sox to trade for a fairly high draft pick and get a good reliever in return for someone like Santos who could end up being elite very soon. Still think they might have sold low on him because I thought he would have a monster season for them. Interested to see if Santos gets the 8th inning or is used in different situations for the Mariners
@@BlakeRobins0n right I agree! But I truly believe he could end up closing some games for them tho💯I’m a Seattle fan and they haven’t really had a true closer since Diaz, unless u wanna say Sewald which personally I wouldn’t😂😂, so they can easily go with the fresher arm atm, so u can easily see brash close out games here n there, same with Munoz then Santos or they just go with the hot hand and whoever is on fire atm will be the guy until they have a “slump” 😂🤷🏼so pretty much what you just said, Santos get used in different situations😂either way if they all stay healthy that bullpen will be crazy good💯
@@brennannedeff6322 I wouldn't be completely shocked if he ends up closing games for them. I really like Munoz, but he does struggle with his command at times. I also wouldn't be shocked if Brash ends up getting save opportunities if Munoz struggles. He pitched in more games than anyone in 2023 and I'm sure he'd be fine in any role. Either way, those 3 guys are fantastic for the back end of the bullpen. Definitely think it will be Top 5 in the league in ERA
Hunter Greene
I feel that Kelenic will be a lefty Adam Duvall for them
Torkelson
I left him off because he already hit 30 home runs and 30 doubles last season. Him increasing his OPS a bit would be great, but I also think it shouldn’t be surprising if he does it
Bo Naylor will be breaking out.
I like the pick
1st
goat
Nolan Schanuel. Trout looking like their last great breakout player since 13 years ago, but Schanuel could end up quite the 1B for years to come.
I'm so unbelievably tired of seeing Abrams on these lists. Yeah he's an easy pick for them, cuz he already freaking broke out!!!!
I wouldn’t say so honestly. His OPS is barely over .700
Holy crap listening to this guy is like waiting for a disclaimer at the end of a commercial and actually trying to understand it 😂
Slow the heck down the season is over a month away & CZcams is free 🤔
I felt like I was listening to a AI produced broadcast 🤣

Slow down bro and let people understand what the heck your even saying. But no im not the only one Im setting here with 5 others and we did have a great laugh 😂 out of it. Not even trying to dog on ya it was a descent list. But why read the script so fast like your late for

@@tonyd9240 I mean with all the laughing emojis it doesn't really seem like constructive criticism. Have a nice day
You are really just looking for something to complain about aren't you? There is nothing wrong with the way he speaks, and I find it so strange when people go out of their way to criticize the most inconsequential aspects of a video. If you can't understand what he's saying I think it may be a comprehension issue
@@tylerbrown565
No i literally couldn't keep up if I wanted too. I have never had to give someone an opinion on speech. But dang that was crazy and didn't even pause a second between players 😂
I was setting with 5 others planning out 41st annual fantasy draft all trying to actually follow. Two actually tried to write down a few things he pointed out. Best they got out of it was enough time to write down 6 names 😂. To each his/her own but that was serious like hearing a disclosure at the end of a prescription add.
Kelenic is a bad pick, lmao. Any Seattle fan who had to suffer through watching him play, he never impressed.
He was bad in Seattle, but Atlanta has turned so many careers around recently
I will never call them the "Guardians." gtfo
Kelenic is a bust
Way too early to say that. He'll be under a lot less pressure to produce in Atlanta
Cruz jr will win roy
I don’t know who that is
@@BlakeRobins0n oniel cruz jr. He didn’t play enough games last year to qualify
