Top 40 First Base Rankings for 2025

George Bissell and Dave Shovein unveil their preliminary first base rankings for the upcoming 2025 season.

It’s officially the holiday season, but that doesn’t mean we’re taking a break from our fantasy positional preview series here at The Buzz. We’re continuing our trek across the infield dirt with our initial run of first base rankings for the 2025 season from George Bissell and Dave Shovein. We’ll take a much deeper dive into the positional group throughout the remainder of the week with early NFBC ADP analysis, sleeper candidates (spoiler alert: Jonathan Aranda will be on there), rankings debates (Freddie Freeman, Michael Busch and Christian Encarnacion-Strand) before wrapping things up with our Top 50 Dynasty League Rankings at the cold corner that include in-depth breakdowns of top prospects Bryce Eldridge, Xavier Isaac, Jac Caglianone, Nick Kurtz, Deyvison De Los Santos and more.
