| Notes | ||
| Nolan McLean's brief 2025 MLB sample showcased frontline skills beneath the surface. His ability to suppress quality contact (89.5 mph average EV, .571 OPS against) paired with above-average command (8.5% BB%) suggests the performance wasn't fluky, even if some ERA regression is likely as innings scale. The 2026 projections point to a heavier workload with solid strikeout totals. Given the bat-missing profile and batted-ball dominance, McLean profiles as a high-upside fantasy option who can outperform his draft cost if he holds a regular rotation spot.
