| Notes | ||
| Michael Busch has rapidly developed into one of fantasy's most reliable power bats, following a strong 2024 with a full-blown breakout in 2025 that featured 34 homers, a .523 slugging percentage, and a 147 OPS+. The jump in production wasn't empty volume. His rOBA and run value both spiked, confirming real growth in impact contact rather than a fluky power surge. While the strikeout rate remains elevated, Busch offsets it with solid on-base skills and elite durability, logging 150+ games in back-to-back seasons. At age 28, he's firmly established as a high-end fantasy first baseman whose profile now supports both a strong floor and a stable power ceiling. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros | Nolan Schanuel quietly took a step forward in 2025, trimming his strikeout rate to 12.6% (down from 17.0% in 2024) while posting a career-best 108 Rbat+ and .329 rOBA. His average exit velocity jumped to 87.0 mph and his hard-hit rate climbed to 29.0%, supporting modest gains in ISO (.125) despite still well-below-average raw power. While his 2026 projections suggest more of a high-average, mid-teens home run profile than a true breakout, the improved contact quality and elite bat-to-ball skills give him a stable floor in OBP formats. Schanuel profiles as a deep-league corner infield sleeper, with value tied more to batting average and run production than impact power. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros | |
