Notes
	Junior Caminero's first full MLB season in 2025 delivered flashes of elite raw power but came with expected growing pains in plate discipline. He hit 45 home runs, drove in 110, and scored 93 times. His barrel rate was a fantastic 14% with a 51.4% hard-hit rate. The power is very real. However, in 2026, the Rays shift out of the minor league park they played in and back to one of the worst hitting parks in the majors. His 2026 projections anticipate a small reduction in home runs because of this park switch; however, they also suggest improvement in his ratios as his approach matures in his age-22 season. The underlying exit velocity and hard-hit gains year over year support the power breakout narrative. Caminero profiles as a high-upside player at a weak position whose fantasy value rises quickly if the strikeout rate continues to normalize. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
