Fantasy Baseball Player Notes

2026 Fantasy Baseball Draft Notes

Position

Team

Zach Neto Note
	30. 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. 3 weeks ago

Jo Adell Note
	107. 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. Adell has transitioned from post-hype lottery ticket to viable OF3 with impact power, though managers should still build around batting average volatility. 3 weeks ago

Jose Soriano Note
	247. Jose Soriano SP Jose Soriano took a step back in 2025, posting a 4.26 ERA and 1.40 WHIP across 169 innings as his walk rate spiked (10.8 BB%) and his strikeout rate settled closer to league average. Based on the 2026 projections, he profiles as a mid-rotation innings source rather than a true breakout candidate, with modest strikeout totals limiting his ceiling in standard leagues. Soriano is best viewed as a back-end fantasy starter whose value hinges on workload and matchup management rather than category impact. 3 weeks ago

Josh Lowe Note

Nolan Schanuel Note
	264. 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). 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. 3 weeks ago

Grayson Rodriguez Note
	292. Grayson Rodriguez SP

Yusei Kikuchi Note
	294. Yusei Kikuchi SP Yusei Kikuchi remains a reliable but volatile fantasy arm entering 2026, best viewed as a back-end starter in mixed leagues. The underlying batted-ball profile was mostly stable, but a rising walk rate and middling WHIP capped his fantasy ceiling despite near-league-average run prevention. Kikuchi is still useful for innings and strikeouts, but with limited upside and increased ratio risk compared to prior seasons. He's best deployed as a matchup-dependent SP5 rather than a set-and-forget option. 3 weeks ago
