Notes
	Willy Adames continued to provide bankable power in 2025 with 30 home runs, but the batting average (.225) and elevated strikeout rate once again capped his overall fantasy ceiling. His underlying profile still supports mid-20s to low-30s homer power in 2026, though projections point toward neutral batting average and reduced steals compared to his 2024 peak. Adames remains a dependable power-first shortstop in fantasy, but he's better valued as a solid floor option than a true breakout bat. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
