2026 Fantasy Baseball Draft Notes

Tarik Skubal Note

Tarik Skubal dominated in 2025, posting ace-level ratios while maintaining elite strikeout and walk rates across a full workload (195 IP). His 2026 projections remain optimistic, forecasting another sub-3 ERA with a strong WHIP and strikeout volume. The sustainability is supported by stable velocity, plus command, and one of the league's best swinging-strike profiles. Skubal enters 2026 as a true fantasy ace and a reliable anchor for managers prioritizing pitching early.

Framber Valdez Note

After a long offseason of speculation, Framber Valdez signed a three-year, $115 million deal with the Detroit Tigers, immediately making that team the runaway favorites in the AL Central. Valdez struggled a little in 2025, ending with a 3.66 ERA, the highest in his career as a starter. Most of this was due to the wheels coming off in the second half of the season, when he accumulated a 5.20 ERA, and opponents began hitting the ball much harder off him. However, he will reunite with AJ Hinch in Detroit, and he struck out 187 batters in 192 innings. Comerica Park should help keep him in games, and Valdez remains a quality start machine. Not a bad SP2 to have, for Detroit or a fantasy team.
