2026 Fantasy Baseball Draft Notes

Position

Team

Dylan Cease Note
	24. Dylan Cease SP Dylan Cease signed a seven-year, $210 million contract with the Blue Jays in November, parlaying his steady strikeout rate numbers and artificially inflated ERA in 2025 into security with the 2025 runners-up. In his age-29 season, Cease was snakebit by a .320 BABIP, ballooning his ERA to 4.55 with an xERA of 3.46. The important stat to know is his 29.8% K-rate and five consecutive years of 200+ strikeouts. If you can absorb a bit of a WHIP hit (career 1.26), the counting stats are there for the taking. 24 weeks ago

Trey Yesavage Note
	75. Trey Yesavage SP Trey Yesavage's 2025 debut was brief but intriguing. The underlying profile jumps off the page: a massive 61.5% hard-hit rate allowed and 94.0 mph average exit velocity suggest his 0.0% HR rate and .273 opponent SLG were unlikely to hold over a larger sample. He did generate ground balls at a strong 56.4% clip, which could help him manage damage in Rogers Centre, but an 11.3% walk rate points to command volatility. Projections appear to price in regression toward league-average ratios with solid strikeout totals over a larger workload. He is more of a late-round flier or watch-list candidate in standard formats rather than a draft-day priority. 24 weeks ago

Jose Soriano Note
	91. Jose Soriano SP Jose 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. 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. 24 weeks ago
