Notes
	Elly De La Cruz's 2025 season failed to showcase his elite fantasy ceiling. Fantasy managers expecting him to shore up the stolen base category were disappointed to see them drop from 67 to 37. However, after the season, the Reds revealed ELDC had played through a left quad strain for the entire second half, which is certainly supported by his first-half/second-half splits. Swing-and-miss remains part of his profile, though he did get his strikeout rate below 30% for the first time. His 2026 projections expect his stats to move back toward his 2024 numbers, though counting on him for 50+ steals isn't the best approach. Elly remains one of the riskier first-round picks, but could turn into a Top 3 overall if he is able to put it all together. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros	Whether Father Time came calling or it was just a down year, Mookie Betts was one of the bigger disappointments in 2025. In his age-32 season, he saw a drop in his walk rate and posted the lowest batting average of his career. He also suffered a power outage, hitting 20 home runs across 150 games; by comparison, he hit 19 in 2024 across only 116 games. His HardHit rate plummeted to 35.8%, continuing a three-year decline. However, he still bats in the Dodgers lineup, scoring 95 runs and driving in 82 for the World Champions. He will only qualify at shortstop, a much deeper position than second base, in 2026. He still has plenty of value, but don't draft him based on his name alone. We've seen the best Betts has to offer. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
