2026 Fantasy Baseball Draft Notes

Eury Perez Note

Eury Perez's 2025 surface stats (4.25 ERA) mask how dominant his underlying skills remained, as he held hitters to a .195 average with a 27.3% strikeout rate. Entering 2026, projections point to a return toward his frontline-starter upside if his workload can safely ramp up, making him a high-impact fantasy arm on a per-inning basis. Durability and innings volume remain the only things separating Perez from ace-level production, but the skills clearly support a breakout if he's allowed to go deeper into games.

Agustin Ramirez Note

Agustín Ramírez took his lumps as a 23-year-old rookie in 2025, slashing .231/.287/.413 with 21 home runs and 16 steals across 136 games. With modest plate-discipline growth, the 2026 projections point toward improved run production and a step forward in overall efficiency, making Ramírez a clear fantasy sleeper entering his age-24 season. The power-speed blend is already bankable in standard formats, and any OBP rebound would push him into the top tier at his position.

Sandy Alcantara Note

Sandy Alcantara's 2025 season was a clear step back, as his ERA ballooned to 5.36 with a diminished 19.1% strikeout rate and a career-worst 45.1% hard-hit rate allowed. Projections expect some normalization, particularly in ERA and WHIP, but not a full return to his 2022 dominance. Without a rebound in strikeout rate or ground-ball lean, Alcantara profiles more as a volume-based SP3/SP4. The innings floor still carries value in deeper formats, but managers drafting him as a bounce-back ace are assuming skills growth that hasn't yet reappeared in the underlying data.

Jakob Marsee Note

Jakob Marsee impressed in his 2025 debut, slashing .292/.363/.478 with five homers and 14 steals across just 234 plate appearances, but the sample size was extremely limited and came with a lofty .357 BABIP that may be difficult to sustain. Projections anticipate regression at the plate, forecasting a .231 average with 13 homers but an impactful 31 steals over a larger workload. If Marsee secures everyday at-bats, his speed-driven fantasy profile makes him an intriguing sleeper in roto formats, though managers should expect batting-average volatility as pitchers adjust.

Kyle Stowers Note

Kyle Stowers finally translated his loud tools into production in 2025, slashing .288/.368/.544 with 25 home runs across 457 plate appearances for Miami. The quality of contact remained strong (52.2% hard-hit rate), but the key shift was a more balanced batted-ball profile and improved swing decisions that allowed his power to play in games. Heading into 2026, projections expect some regression from the near-.900 OPS peak, but still forecast Stowers as a middle-of-the-order bat with 25-homer upside and above-average on-base skills. He's best viewed as a solid OF3 with upside in five-outfielder formats, offering bankable power and run production as long as the improved approach holds.

Xavier Edwards Note

Xavier Edwards followed up a breakout 2024 (.328/.397/.423, 129 OPS+) with a heavier workload in 2025, logging 619 PA but seeing his efficiency normalize (.283/.343/.353, 94 OPS+). The batted-ball profile supports the pullback: his .330 BABIP was far less inflated than 2024's .398 mark. Encouragingly, he trimmed his strikeout rate to 14.2% and maintained strong contact skills, giving him a stable batting-average floor even if the run production remains modest. Edwards' fantasy value hinges on lineup spot and volume; if he sticks near the top of Miami's order, he's a useful MI target for managers chasing average and speed without sacrificing plate discipline. Just don't draft him expecting meaningful power growth.
