Notes
	Nick Kurtz's 2025 rookie season showed the potential that made him a top prospect, highlighted by strong on-base skills but uneven in-game power as he adjusted to MLB pitching. His 2026 projections anticipate a small step forward in home runs, but his .290 batting average is a mirage (xBA of .249). The allure of what he is capable of will drive up his price on draft day, and it is difficult to argue with that dream as the A's continue to play 81 games in Sacramento. The volatility is real, and at age 23, he still has some growing pains to come. Even with all that, though, he'll go in the second round in 12-team leagues, so decide quickly if you want that on your squad. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
