2026 Fantasy Baseball Draft Notes

Eury Perez Note
	31. Eury Perez SP Eury Perez's 2025 surface stats (4.25 ERA) mask how dominant his underlying skills remained, as he held hitters to a .195 average with a 27.3% strikeout rate and elite bat-missing ability despite limited innings. The fastball velocity and swing-and-miss profile were fully intact, while improved contact suppression (lower BABIP and HR%) highlights just how difficult he is to square up when healthy. Entering 2026, projections point to a return toward his frontline-starter upside if his workload can safely ramp up, making him a high-impact fantasy arm on a per-inning basis. Durability and innings volume remain the only things separating Perez from ace-level production, but the skills clearly support a breakout if he's allowed to go deeper into games. 2 weeks ago

Sandy Alcantara Note
	46. Sandy Alcantara SP Sandy Alcantara's 2025 season was a clear step back from his Cy Young peak, as his ERA ballooned to 5.36 with a diminished 19.1% strikeout rate and a career-worst 45.1% hard-hit rate allowed. His average exit velocity spiked to 90.6 mph, and his ground-ball rate dipped under 47%, a troubling shift for a pitcher who has historically relied on weak contact and heavy sink. While his walk rate (7.7%) remained manageable, the combination of louder contact and fewer whiffs led to a 4.28 FIP and negative run value metrics across the board. The 2026 projections expect some normalization — particularly in ERA and WHIP — but not a full return to his 2022 dominance. Without a rebound in strikeout rate or ground-ball lean, Alcantara profiles more as a volume-based SP3/SP4 than a frontline fantasy anchor. The innings floor still carries value in deeper formats, but managers drafting him as a bounce-back ace are assuming skills growth that hasn't yet reappeared in the underlying data. 4 days ago
