2026 Fantasy Baseball Draft Notes

Rafael Devers Note

Rafael Devers forced his way out of Boston early in the year and landed in the less fantasy-friendly environment of San Francisco. His numbers held steady for the most part, producing 35 home runs, 99 runs, and 109 RBI, though his batting average was the lowest since 2018. His Barrel percentage jumped from 13% to 16%, and his HardHit rate leapt to 56.1%, both the highest of his career. Projections have him essentially continuing on with these numbers, and at a thinner 1B than expected, Devers is a sneaky pick currently going in the fifth round.

Logan Webb Note

Logan Webb just kept on keeping on in 2025. He pitched 207 innings, won 15 games, raised his strikeout rate to 26.2%, and continued to avoid walks, posting a 5.4% walk rate. His ERA of 3.22 was a bit low compared to his expected (3.58), but his FIP (2.60) and xFIP (2.78) remain elite. Webb continued to just be a workman in fantasy baseball, throwing over 200 innings for the third straight year. With a 4.87 K/BB ratio and entering his age-29 season, projections are calling for a slightly reduced strikeout rate, but fantasy managers can do a lot worse than Webb as their SP1.

Willy Adames Note

Willy Adames continued to provide bankable power in 2025 with 30 home runs, but the batting average (.225) and elevated strikeout rate once again capped his overall fantasy ceiling. His underlying profile still supports mid-20s to low-30s homer power in 2026, though projections point toward neutral batting average and reduced steals compared to his 2024 peak. Adames remains a dependable power-first shortstop in fantasy, but he's better valued as a solid floor option than a true breakout bat.

Matt Chapman Note

Matt Chapman followed up his excellent 2024 with a solid but slightly muted 2025, as the power dipped to 21 home runs and the batting average slid to .231 despite a strong .340 OBP. Plate discipline remained a plus, and the underlying power was still present, but reduced games played and fewer counting stats capped his fantasy ceiling compared to the prior year. Third base remains a thinner position, which helps preserve his value even as the speed contribution continues to fade in his early 30s. Heading into 2026, Chapman profiles as a steady but unspectacular corner infielder, reliable for power and OBP formats, but unlikely to return to peak-level fantasy production.
