Fantasy Baseball Player Notes
2026 Fantasy Baseball Draft Notes
|
1.
Jazz Chisholm Jr.
Jazz Chisholm's 2025 season was a reminder of both his upside and volatility, as power-speed contributions were once again offset by injury concerns and streaky efficiency. His 2026 projections bake in similar power and speed totals with right around 600 plate appearances. When on the field, his per-game fantasy production remains strong, particularly in steals. Chisholm is best approached as a ceiling play rather than a foundational early-round option, but qualifying at third base does bump him up a few spots on draft boards.

Brandon Lowe
Brandon Lowe rebounded in 2025, earning an All-Star nod while clubbing 31 home runs across 134 games, his highest total since 2021. His underlying metrics remained strong, but a declining 6.9% walk rate and 26.9% strikeout rate capped his OBP at .307 despite a career-best .297 BABIP. Projections forecast another 30-homer campaign with a batting average in the .245-.255 range, reinforcing his profile as a power-first middle infielder with limited speed.

Gleyber Torres
Gleyber Torres reestablished himself as a reliable fantasy middle infielder in 2025 after a down 2024, showing improved plate discipline (career-best walk rate) and a rebound in overall run production following his move to Detroit. While the power remains well below his 2018-19 peak, his 2025 advanced profile points to solid contact quality and a more patient approach that supports a stable AVG/OBP floor. The 2026 projections reflect a continuation of that skill set rather than a return to 30+ homer upside, making him more valuable in OBP formats than standard roto leagues. With minimal speed and capped power, Torres profiles as a low-ceiling but steady fantasy contributor, best viewed as a post-hype sleeper for managers seeking middle-infield stability rather than upside.
