2026 Fantasy Baseball Draft Notes

Mason Miller Note

Mason Miller solidified himself as one of baseball's most dominant relievers in 2025, posting a sub-3.00 ERA with a staggering 44.4% strikeout rate and elite bat-missing ability that ticked up even further after his move to San Diego. His year-over-year gains in K% (41.8% in 2024 to 44.4% in 2025) came with louder contact suppression, as opponents hit just .139 overall with a .493 OPS. Miller is a high-volume saves source with league-best ratios, firmly cementing him as a top-tier fantasy closer and one of the safest bullpen anchors on draft day.

Nick Pivetta Note

Nick Pivetta's 2025 breakout in San Diego was supported by real skill growth, highlighted by elite run prevention, a sub-1.00 WHIP, and career-best contact suppression (.195 BAA, .583 OPS against). His strikeout rate dipped slightly from peak Boston levels, but improved command and a sharp reduction in hard contact and BABIP drove a massive jump in value. Pivetta's projections appropriately pull him back from ace-level ratios, yet still view him as a strong mid-rotation fantasy starter with above-average strikeouts and solid run support. Fantasy managers should treat Pivetta as a high-floor SP3/4 rather than fully buying the Cy Young-adjacent ceiling he flashed in 2025.

Michael King Note

Michael King's transition to a full-time starter in San Diego paid off in 2024, but 2025 brought some mild regression and missed time. After logging 173 2/3 innings with a 2.95 ERA and 27.7% strikeout rate in 2024, he threw just 73.1 innings in 2025 with his strikeout rate dipping to 24.7% and his HR/9 jumping from 0.9 to 1.5. Projections expect a rebound in workload and a return to mid-3.00s ratios, which aligns more closely with his 2024 form than last year's abbreviated campaign. King still misses bats at an above-average clip and limits batting average against (.225 career), but his margin for error narrows when the home run rate spikes. He profiles as a high-end SP3 with SP2 upside if the strikeouts tick back toward the 27-28% range and he pushes past 160 innings again.
