Fantasy Baseball Player Notes

Luke Keaschall was highly productive in his 49-game debut in 2025, slashing .302/.382/.445 with a 135 Rbat+ and an elite 14% strikeout rate that underscores his advanced bat-to-ball skills. While his below-average 85.9 mph EV and modest 1.9% HR rate cap his power ceiling, his 26% line-drive rate and .340 BABIP support a high-contact, table-setting profile. He also went 14-for-17 on stolen base attempts (82.4% success rate), adding category juice that plays up in roto formats. With 2026 projections forecasting a significant increase in plate appearances and steady growth across the board, Keaschall profiles as a batting-average stabilizer with 20+ SB upside and emerging run-production value in deeper mixed leagues.
