Fantasy Baseball Player Notes

Bryce Harper remained an elite middle-of-the-order force in 2025, pairing strong on-base skills with premium power despite minor durability interruptions. His 2026 projections continue to support top-tier production, with stable home run output and run production driven by an excellent walk rate and hard-contact profile. While his speed contribution has tapered off, Harper's efficiency as a run producer remains intact thanks to consistent barrel rates and a favorable lineup context in Philadelphia. Fantasy managers should view him as a high-floor early-round anchor whose value is safest in OBP formats but still strong in standard leagues, especially if his health cooperates.
