2026 Fantasy Baseball Draft Notes

James Wood Note
	30. James Wood LF,RF James Wood was on a legitimate MVP pace through the first half of the 2025 campaign before a sharp second-half regression cooled the hype. He hit .278 with 24 home runs, 12 steals, 59 runs scored, and 69 RBIs early on, but his production dipped significantly down the stretch. Over the remainder of the season, Wood slashed just .223 with seven homers, 28 runs, 25 RBIs, and three stolen bases while being caught three times. Despite finishing with strong overall totals, the 22-year-old was a liability for fantasy managers late in the year and carried a hefty 32.1% strikeout rate. Still, durability and elite batted-ball metrics stand out: Wood appeared in 157 games, posted a 16.3% barrel rate, a massive 56.3% hard-hit rate, and an .825 OPS. The talent is undeniable, and the ceiling remains enormous—he's best viewed as an OF2 in drafts, with hopes that 2026 delivers the full breakout. 3 weeks ago

CJ Abrams Note
	41. CJ Abrams SS CJ Abrams' 2025 stats look similar to the two years before. In 635 plate appearances, he hit 19 home runs, stole 31 bases, and slashed .257/.315/.433. He did see a jump in his runs scored (92), presumably because of James Wood hitting behind him. Fantasy managers should be aware that all of his expected numbers were lower than his actuals, and his barrel rate and HardHit rate are nothing to write home about. He will steal 30+ bases, pop around 20 dingers, and the top of the Nationals lineup has worlds of potential. It's just hard to swallow the high price tag in such a deep position. 3 weeks ago
