Fantasy Baseball Player Notes

Kyle Schwarber's 2025 profile remained extreme but effective, delivering elite home-run volume and run production while continuing to drag batting average, though not as much as in the past. He played in all 162 games, hit 56 home runs, drove in an MLB-leading 132, and scored 111 runs. His 2026 projections again place him among the league leaders in homers, with OBP formats propping up his overall value. Year over year, the power output has proven remarkably stable despite contact volatility. Schwarber remains a roster-construction play who fits best on teams built to absorb average risk in exchange for top-tier power.

Adolis García's production has trended downward since his 2023 peak, with his OPS dropping from .836 that season to .684 in 2024 and .665 in 2025. While his raw power remains intact (92.1 mph average exit velocity in 2025), the results have slipped as his ISO fell to .168 and his walk rate declined to 5.1%, limiting his OBP and run production. The 2026 projections still see useful counting stats (roughly 23 HR, 72 RBI, and double-digit steals), but his rising strikeout totals and declining plate discipline cap the upside. At age 33 with back-to-back below-average offensive seasons (94 rBat+ in both 2024 and 2025), García profiles more as a volatile mid-tier power option than a reliable fantasy cornerstone.
