2026 Fantasy Baseball Draft Notes

Position

Team

Max Fried Note
	14. Max Fried SP After eight years in Atlanta, Max Fried arrived in New York and did what the Yankees were hoping he would do. In 195 1/3 innings pitched, Fried ended with a 2.86 ERA and 1.10 WHIP while striking out 189 batters, the most in any season of his career. While his xERA was higher at 3.40, his FIP (3.07) and xFIP (3.41) suggest the 32-year-old has plenty left in the tank in 2026. Of his 32 starts, 20 of them qualified as quality, making him more valuable in leagues with that category. 3 weeks ago

Cam Schlittler Note
	44. Cam Schlittler SP Cam Schlitter emerged as a high-upside arm for the Yankees in 2025, posting a 2.96 ERA across 14 starts with a 27.6% strikeout rate that comfortably outpaced the league average (22.2%). Looking ahead to 2026, projections build on that strong rookie foundation, forecasting a larger workload with mid-3.00s ratios and above-average strikeout totals over a full season. If he maintains the strikeout gains while trimming the walks closer to league average, Schlitter has SP3 upside with room for more in favorable matchups. He's a strong target in the middle rounds of drafts, particularly for managers prioritizing strikeouts and upside over pure ratio safety. 3 weeks ago

Carlos Rodon Note
	68. Carlos Rodon SP Carlos Rodon delivered one of the most complete seasons of his career in 2025, posting a 3.09 ERA across 195.1 innings with a 1.05 WHIP and 203 strikeouts, earning Cy Young consideration. Projections expect some ERA regression closer to his FIP (3.78 in 2025) and normalized BABIP. He is currently recovering from an elbow procedure and is projected to begin his season in late April/early May, but if all goes as planned, he comes at a good discount on draft day for the potential he brings. 3 weeks ago
