Notes
	Oneil Cruz followed up his 2024 breakout (21 HR, 22 SB, .773 OPS, 114 OPS+) with a steep regression in 2025, batting just .200 with an 87 OPS+ despite swiping a career-high 38 bases. His 95.8 mph average exit velocity and 56.9% hard-hit rate were both elite and actually improved year over year, but a .262 BABIP and persistent 32.0% strikeout rate cratered his overall production. Looking ahead, Cruz's 2026 projections suggest a rebound toward his 2024 form, banking on normalization in batting average with continued 20/30 upside. If the BABIP corrects even partially, his rare combination of top-of-scale power and speed makes him a prime fantasy rebound candidate with upside, but managers must build around the batting average risk.
