2026 Fantasy Baseball Draft Notes

Hunter Goodman Note

Hunter Goodman broke out in 2025, collecting a 31 HR, 91-RBI campaign with a .278/.323/.520 slash and 120 OPS+. His average exit velocity (90.8 mph) and 47.3% hard-hit rate both cleared league norms. The strikeout rate remains elevated (26.3%) and his 5.7% walk rate caps the OBP ceiling, but a .243 ISO with consistent pull-side authority gives him bankable power in Colorado. For 2026, projections have his batting average closer to his career .248 mark, reflecting some BABIP normalization after last year's .331 clip. Qualifying at catcher enhances his value, given the position's shallowness. Goodman profiles as a power bat whose batted-ball quality supports another 25-30 homer season, but managers should price in batting average volatility rather than paying for a repeat of the .278 mark.

Brenton Doyle Note

Brenton Doyle took a major step forward in 2024 with 23 HR and 30 SB, but his 2025 season regressed offensively (.233/.274/.376, 72 OPS+). Despite the step back, Doyle's underlying quality of contact actually improved in 2025 (89.2 mph EV, 44.8% HardHit). His elite defense keeps him locked into everyday playing time in Colorado, preserving fantasy value through volume and speed. Projections have him hitting around 19 HR with 20 SB and a .248 AVG, Doyle profiles as a power-speed sleeper who can deliver another 20/20 season if his plate discipline rebounds closer to his 2024 levels.

Ezequiel Tovar Note

Ezequiel Tovar's 2025 season was a step back on the surface (.253/.294/.400 in 95 games), but his underlying profile remained relatively stable, including a solid 39% hard-hit rate and improved strikeout rate (25.1%) compared to his 2024 breakout. Injuries limited his counting stats after a 26-HR, 3.8 WAR campaign in 2024, yet his batted-ball mix still supports mid-20s power in Coors Field. The 2026 projections (21 HR, 10 SB, 79 R, 74 RBI, .263 AVG) suggest a rebound to useful across-the-board production at the shortstop position. With everyday playing time in Colorado and a history of durable volume prior to 2025, Tovar profiles as a fantasy riser capable of returning top-12 value at the position if his 2024 power gains reappear over a full season.
