2026 Fantasy Baseball Draft Notes

Position

Team

Jose Soriano Note
	89. Jose Soriano SP Jose Soriano 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. The skills foundation still has appeal—his ground-ball rate climbed again (64.5%), and he continued to suppress home runs—but the rising hard-hit rate (48.6%) and neutralized batted-ball luck pushed his ratios in the wrong direction. 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. 2 weeks ago

Yusei Kikuchi Note
	113. Yusei Kikuchi SP Yusei Kikuchi remains a reliable but volatile fantasy arm entering 2026, best viewed as a back-end starter in mixed leagues. His 2025 season showed a step back in command (9.6% BB%) and strikeout rate (22.5% K%), eroding some of the gains he made during his strong late-2024 run, even as his workload and durability held up. 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. Based on the 2026 projections, Kikuchi profiles as a fantasy faller—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. 2 weeks ago
