Let’s dive in on who you need to know for your dynasty baseball FYPD.

2025 MLB Draft Data Darlings

Landyn Vidourek, OF, Los Angeles Dodgers, 6’1”/192 (Cincinnati, 3rd Round)

Key Data

Vidourek was a three-year starter at Cincinnati University but fully broke out during his junior year in 2025. The Dodgers have an eye for this kind of talent and the true data darling. A premium athlete and a 70-grade runner, Vidourek stole 39 bases and was caught just once.

Not only is Vidourek a premium athlete, but he began to get to power this year and showed an impressive contact profile at the plate. Slashing .304/.434/.576 with 14 home runs. While the performance is one thing, the underlying data is impressive.

An average exit velocity of 93 mph stands out, but a 110 mph 90th percentile exit velocity is even more impressive. Topping out at 115.5 mph, Vidourek ran a 55 percent hard-hit rate and a 26 percent barrel rate. With a 20-degree hard-hit launch angle, Vidourek also pulled 55 percent of the balls he got in the air.

The biggest question in the profile might be contact, as he ran a 79 percent zone-contact rate, but the approach was stellar with a 14 percent chase rate. We want to see more aggression on pitches in the zone.

Good against all pitch types, Vidourek mashed fastballs and was equally good against breakers. When we find a hitter who can handle all pitch types well, is a premium athlete, and hits the cover off the ball, buy in.
