| Notes | ||
| The list of elite second basemen in 2026 fantasy baseball looks to be about three players long, and Ketel Marte is at the top of the list, depending on how you feel about Jazz Chisholm Jr. Marte offers an excellent barrel rate (13.5%) and an elite hard hit rate (47%) at the position, while also providing a boon in batting average (career .281 hitter). The downside is there, however. Marte is on the wrong side of 30, and the number of games he's played in has gone from 150 to 136 to 126 in the last three years. Still, you're not getting 30 home runs from many second basemen, and batting in between Geraldo Perdomo and Corbin Carroll should help his counting stats. Marte's biggest issue is health; if you draft him, prepare for at least one IL stint during the season. Otherwise, he's as good as they come. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros | Christian Yelich rebounded to strong everyday value in 2025, launching 29 homers with 16 steals while posting a .795 OPS across 150 games. His strikeout rate jumped to 25.9, while his hard-hit rate dipped to 46.6%, suggesting the power surge may not fully hold. The 2026 projections reflect that regression, forecasting roughly 19 HR, 16 SB, and a .256 average with a mid-.750s OPS. Yelich still provides useful category balance thanks to his on-base skills and speed, but he only played 19 games in the OF and may only qualify as a DH in some formats. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros | |
