Very early slow start sells, 2025

It's hard to shop hitters who are off to slow starts in many leagues, as fantasy managers often are scared to pick up bad stats early in the season.

That said, hitters with big warts in their skills that have been building for a while can present a good opportunity to avoid further bad stats, especially in non-keeper leagues.

Batters have posted a .700 OPS on average so far in 2025. These sub-.700 OPS bats (min 30 PA) have posted the lowest average exit velocities (EV):
