Fantasy Baseball Player Notes

2026 Fantasy Baseball Draft Notes

Position

Team

Gunnar Henderson Note
	11. Gunnar Henderson SS Gunnar Henderson backed up his 2024 breakout with a season during which he says he had a shoulder impingement for almost 75% of the year. His power dipped considerably, and even though he still stole 30 bags, it was obvious something was off. His 2026 projections expect a bounce-back year, projecting elite power production and strong run totals. Year-over-year gains in swing decisions suggest his profile is fully established rather than volatile. Shortstop is a stacked position, but Henderson remains one of the elite options for those looking to secure it early. 24 weeks ago

Pete Alonso Note
	19. Pete Alonso 1B Pete Alonso once again supplied premium power in 2025, but continued erosion in batting average and on-base skills limited his category impact. His 2026 projections still forecast upper-tier home-run totals, though with muted run production compared to his peak seasons. The year-over-year trend shows narrowing fantasy utility as his value becomes increasingly HR-dependent. Alonso profiles best as a targeted power injection rather than a lineup anchor. 24 weeks ago

Luis Robert Jr. Note
	74. Luis Robert Jr. LF,CF After a breakout 2023 campaign (38 HR, 20 SB, 130 OPS+), Luis Robert Jr. has taken a clear step back offensively over the past two seasons, posting a .223/.297/.364 line with a below-average 88 Rbat+ in 2025. The underlying metrics show declining contact quality and elevated swing-and-miss, though his 26.0% strikeout rate in 2025 was at least an improvement from the 33.2% mark in 2024. His BABIP cratered to .274 in 2025 despite still solid exit velocity and hard-hit rates, suggesting some room for batting-average rebound, while his speed remains a major asset after swiping 33 bases. Even with a modest projected rebound in 2026, Robert's volatile plate discipline and recent production downturn make him a risky early-round investment compared to his peak fantasy value. 24 weeks ago

	148. Samuel Basallo C,1B

Colton Cowser Note
	152. Colton Cowser LF,CF,RF

Jordan Westburg Note
	175. Jordan Westburg 2B,3B Jordan Westburg followed up his 2024 All-Star breakout with another solid but less impactful 2025, as injuries limited him to 85 games and capped his counting stats. On a per-game basis, his power remained intact (17 HR, .457 SLG), but reduced doubles output and minimal speed kept him from taking the next step. His multi-position eligibility and steady contact quality help stabilize his fantasy floor, particularly in deeper formats. If he can stay healthy and reclaim a full-time role in Baltimore's crowded infield, Westburg still offers sleeper upside as a balanced power contributor entering his age-27 season. 24 weeks ago
