Fantasy Baseball Player Notes
2026 Fantasy Baseball Draft Notes
|
34.
Wyatt Langford
LF,CF
Wyatt Langford logged the same number of games in his sophomore campaign with Texas as he did during his rookie season, but his underlying production trended in the right direction. He finished with 22 home runs and 22 stolen bases, both modest step-ups from his 2024 totals. His on-base percentage climbed from .325 to .344, while his slugging percentage improved from .415 to .431. Although his overall counting stats dipped, that decline can largely be traced to a Rangers offense that failed to meet expectations. As he heads into his age-24 season, further growth looks likely, with a realistic path to a 25-HR, 20-SB profile as he continues to establish himself at the big-league level. The breakout feels inevitable—it's just a question of timing.

Corey Seager
SS
Corey Seager followed up his MVP-caliber 2023-24 run with another elite per-game season in 2025, posting a .271/.373/.487 slash with a 151 OPS+ despite being limited to 102 games. His plate discipline continued to improve, as he set a career high in walk rate while maintaining plus power and run production when healthy. Durability remains the lone concern, but his underlying offensive skills show no signs of erosion entering his age-32 season. In formats that can absorb some missed time, Seager remains one of the safest high-end fantasy bats at shortstop with league-winning upside on a per-plate-appearance basis.

Brandon Nimmo
LF,CF
Brandon Nimmo remains one of fantasy baseball's quieter contributors, consistently delivering well-rounded production without much buzz. Now 32, he posted 25 home runs with 81 runs scored, 92 RBI, and 13 steals while batting .262/.324/.436—numbers that closely mirror his career norms. The one notable blemish was a career-low 7.7% walk rate, marking the first time it dipped below double digits. Heading into his age-33 season, expectations should be steady but cautious, especially after his move to Texas removes the lineup insulation he previously enjoyed hitting near Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto, making a modest step back in 2026 a reasonable assumption.
