2026 Fantasy Baseball Draft Notes

Position

Team

Garrett Crochet Note
	12. Garrett Crochet SP Garrett Crochet built on his breakout 2025 by sustaining elite strikeout rates and improved efficiency, alleviating many durability concerns that followed him earlier in his career. His 2026 projections continue to reflect frontline stuff, with strong K totals and solid ratios over a full starter's workload. The key development was improved pitch mix consistency, allowing him to turn lineups over more reliably. Crochet is a premium fantasy arm whose upside justifies an aggressive draft slot and should easily be one of the first three pitchers off the board. 4 weeks ago

Roman Anthony Note
	51. Roman Anthony LF,RF

Jarren Duran Note
	60. Jarren Duran LF,CF After a breakout 2024, Jarren Duran regressed in 2025. His power and speed dipped to 16 home runs and 24 steals after posting 21 long balls and 34 swipes the year prior. While his RBI total climbed from 75 to 84, his run production fell by 25, influenced in part by injuries throughout the lineup and the midseason trade of Rafael Devers. Heading into 2026, Duran projects more in line with his 2025 output. He remains a viable OF3 option, though he could fall outside the top 24 outfielders as he enters his age-29 campaign. 2 weeks ago

Sonny Gray Note
	102. Sonny Gray SP Sonny Gray was one of the only bright spots in the Cardinals' 2025 season. He started 32 games, threw 180 2/3 innings, and struck out 201 batters. His ERA was inflated at 4.28 with an expected of 3.90, but his FIP (3.39) suggests both of these numbers are high, and his xFIP is even lower at 3.06. Gray turns 36 this year, and projections have him profiled as more of an SP3 or SP4. Still, the move to Boston should give him more win equity, and he is worth consideration in the middle rounds. 6 days ago
