Fantasy Baseball Player Notes

Agustín Ramírez took his lumps as a 23-year-old rookie in 2025, slashing .231/.287/.413 with 21 home runs and 16 steals across 136 games, good for a below-average 92 OPS+ and 89 Rbat+. The underlying data paints a more intriguing picture: a 90.8 mph average exit velocity and 47.2% hard-hit rate both comfortably exceeded league norms, while his .182 ISO suggests legitimate 25-homer upside if the batted-ball luck (.253 BABIP in 2025) normalizes. His aggressive approach (6.2% walk rate) caps his OBP floor, but a manageable 19.3% strikeout rate and strong 84.2% stolen-base success rate support continued category juice. With modest plate-discipline growth, the 2026 projections point toward improved run production and a step forward in overall efficiency, making Ramírez a clear fantasy sleeper entering his age-24 season. The power-speed blend is already bankable in standard formats, and any OBP rebound would push him into the top tier at his position.
