Fantasy Baseball Player Notes

Ozzie Albies took a clear step back in 2025, slashing .240/.306/.365 with 16 homers after posting a 33-HR, .849 OPS campaign as recently as 2023. His ISO cratered to .124 (down from .233 in 2023), with a dip in average exit velocity (87.5 mph) and hard-hit rate (30.7%) driving the power regression. While he rebounded to 157 games and chipped in 14 steals, his 92 Rbat+ and declining run production reflected a more contact-oriented, lower-impact profile. The 2026 projections forecast a modest power rebound with improved run totals, but not a full return to peak production. Albies now profiles as a fantasy faller relative to his prime, settling in as a lower-end top-10 second baseman rather than a difference-making middle infield anchor.
