Fantasy Baseball Player Notes
2026 Fantasy Baseball Draft Notes

5.
Jose Ramirez
3B,DH
Jose Ramírez remained one of fantasy's most reliable five-category contributors in 2025, once again clearing 30 HR while adding strong run production and double-digit steals. His 2026 projections show only mild age-related regression, with power and speed both expected to remain intact thanks to elite contact quality and plate discipline. The year-over-year stability in his batted-ball profile reinforces his high floor. Ramírez continues to profile as a safe first-round cornerstone, especially valuable in formats that reward category balance.

Steven Kwan
LF
Steven Kwan took a step back offensively after three straight productive seasons. His lack of power continues to cap his ceiling, but he still contributed solid category juice with 81 runs scored, 21 steals, and a .272 batting average. Kwan's elite bat-to-ball skills remain intact, evidenced by an 8.7% strikeout rate, though his 7.9% walk rate ranked just 47th percentile per Statcast. Entering his age-28 season, there's room for his batting average and on-base percentage to rebound closer to prior highs. Slated to remain Cleveland's leadoff hitter, he should again flirt with 85 runs if the lineup cooperates. While Kwan remains a useful fantasy outfielder in the OF3/OF4 range, managers may find more upside among similarly priced options on draft day.
