2026 Fantasy Baseball Draft Notes

Position

Team

Zach Neto Note
	25. Zach Neto SS If Zach Neto had stayed healthy in 2025, it would have been fascinating to see where his numbers would have ended up. As it was, in 128 games, he hit 26 home runs, scored 82 runs, drove in 62 from the leadoff spot, and stole 26 bases. Neto barrels the ball extremely well (14.0%) and is above average in HardHit rate at 46.6%. His batting average in the .250 range won't ruin your averages, and if the steals keep up, he could be a major player in the busy shortstop landscape of 2026 fantasy baseball. He is currently going in the third round of drafts, but a full season could provide a 30/30, which is valuable at any position. 7 days ago

Jo Adell Note
	76. Jo Adell CF,RF Jo Adell took a legitimate step forward in 2025, clubbing 37 home runs with a .249 ISO and 112 Rbat+, both comfortably above league average. His quality-of-contact metrics backed it up, as he posted a career-best 91.7 mph average exit velocity and 50.1% hard-hit rate, signaling that the power surge was skill-driven rather than fluky. While the strikeout rate (26.4%) remains elevated and caps his batting average ceiling, the improved damage on contact supports his projected 30-plus homer output in 2026. Fantasy Riser: Adell has transitioned from post-hype lottery ticket to viable OF3 with impact power, though managers should still build around batting average volatility. 7 days ago

Nolan Schanuel Note
	156. Nolan Schanuel 1B Nolan Schanuel quietly took a step forward in 2025, trimming his strikeout rate to 12.6% (down from 17.0% in 2024) while posting a career-best 108 Rbat+ and .329 rOBA. His average exit velocity jumped to 87.0 mph and his hard-hit rate climbed to 29.0%, supporting modest gains in ISO (.125) despite still well-below-average raw power. While his 2026 projections suggest more of a high-average, mid-teens home run profile than a true breakout, the improved contact quality and elite bat-to-ball skills give him a stable floor in OBP formats. Schanuel profiles as a deep-league corner infield sleeper, with value tied more to batting average and run production than impact power. 7 days ago
