Notes
	Multiple trips to the injured list cut short what could have been a breakout campaign for the 22-year-old, holding Jackson Merrill to 115 games with 16 home runs and just one stolen base. Entering 2026 healthy, he's a strong bet to rebound toward his 2024 production. While he's unlikely to be a major contributor on the bases, a season in the range of 25 homers with around 80 runs and 80 RBI is well within reach. His expected batting average and slugging percentage both outpaced his actual results, pointing to poor fortune layered on top of the injury issues. Merrill still offers the highest ceiling among his peers and could push into OF2 value if everything clicks, though he's best drafted as an OF3 with upside baked in. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
