2026 Fantasy Baseball Draft Notes

Corbin Carroll Note
	16. Corbin Carroll RF Corbin Carroll made a noticeable jump in power in 2025, setting career bests with 31 home runs, 84 RBI, a .541 slugging percentage, and a 14.5% barrel rate. The added thump came with a higher strikeout rate (23.8%), but the tradeoff paid off as he still delivered elite all-around production, scoring 107 runs and swiping 32 bases. After an injury-marred 2024, his batting average bounced back from .231 to .259. Heading into his age-25 season, Carroll had been projected to come within striking distance of a rare 30 HR / 100 RBI / 100 R / 30 SB campaign, but a Spring Training injury to his hamate bone could impact his power output, moving him down in drafts and making him riskier than he was before. 2 weeks ago

Ketel Marte Note
	26. Ketel Marte 2B,DH The list of elite second basemen in 2026 fantasy baseball looks to be about three players long, and Ketel Marte is at the top of the list, depending on how you feel about Jazz Chisholm Jr. Marte offers an excellent barrel rate (13.5%) and an elite hard hit rate (47%) at the position, while also providing a boon in batting average (career .281 hitter). The downside is there, however. Marte is on the wrong side of 30, and the number of games he's played in has gone from 150 to 136 to 126 in the last three years. Still, you're not getting 30 home runs from many second basemen, and batting in between Geraldo Perdomo and Corbin Carroll should help his counting stats. Marte's biggest issue is health; if you draft him, prepare for at least one IL stint during the season. Otherwise, he's as good as they come. 3 weeks ago

Geraldo Perdomo Note
	71. Geraldo Perdomo SS Geraldo Perdomo delivered a true breakout in 2025, erupting for a .290/.389/.462 slash with 20 homers, 27 steals, and 100 RBI while finishing fourth in MVP voting. After previously profiling as an OBP-focused table-setter, he made tangible gains in both power and aggressiveness on the bases, turning him into a legitimate five-category contributor. His elite plate discipline (94 walks vs. 83 strikeouts) gives the profile strong stability, even if some power regression follows. Entering his age-26 season, Perdomo looks like one of fantasy's safest high-end shortstops with upside tied to lineup context and continued run-production growth. 2 weeks ago
