Fantasy Baseball Player Notes
2026 Fantasy Baseball Draft Notes
|
1.
Tarik Skubal
DET
Tarik Skubal dominated in 2025, posting ace-level ratios while maintaining elite strikeout and walk rates across a full workload (195 IP). His 2026 projections remain optimistic, forecasting another sub-3 ERA with a strong WHIP and strikeout volume. The sustainability is supported by stable velocity, plus command, and one of the league's best swinging-strike profiles. Skubal enters 2026 as a true fantasy ace and a reliable anchor for managers prioritizing pitching early.

2.
Paul Skenes
PIT
Paul Skenes lived up to the hype in 2025, overpowering hitters with elite velocity and swing-and-miss stuff while maintaining strong run prevention in his first extended MLB action. Sure, his record was 10-10, and he probably could have been a 20-game winner on almost any other team. His 2026 projections remain aggressive on strikeouts and ratios, and he is expected to pitch almost 200 innings after throwing 187 in 2025. The year-over-year takeaway is how quickly his command stabilized, limiting walks more than expected for a power arm. Skenes profiles as a high-impact fantasy SP1 whose value is driven by dominance rather than volume alone.

Shohei Ohtani
LAD
There's no real debate at the top of 2026 fantasy drafts: In formats where he is considered one player, Shohei Ohtani remains the clear-cut 1.01 thanks to his unmatched two-way impact. Offensively, his 2026 projections again place him among the game's elite, with 45-plus home runs, triple-digit runs and RBI, and an on-base percentage north of .390 while continuing to anchor the Dodgers' lineup from the leadoff spot. The stolen base ceiling isn't what it was earlier in his career, but projected totals in the high teens still provide a valuable bonus atop his league-leading power and run production.
What truly separates Ohtani, however, is his return as a full-time starting pitcher. His 2026 projections peg him as a top-tier arm, capable of delivering ace-level strikeout totals, strong ratios, and double-digit wins in one of baseball's best team contexts. Even with some workload management baked in, Ohtani's ability to provide elite value on both sides of the ball gives fantasy managers a structural advantage no other player can match. As long as he's healthy, Ohtani isn't just the safest pick in fantasy baseball; he's still redefining what roster construction can look like. |

4.
Garrett Crochet
BOS
Garrett Crochet built on his breakout 2025 by sustaining elite strikeout rates and improved efficiency, alleviating many durability concerns that followed him earlier in his career. His 2026 projections continue to reflect frontline stuff, with strong K totals and solid ratios over a full starter's workload. The key development was improved pitch mix consistency, allowing him to turn lineups over more reliably. Crochet is a premium fantasy arm whose upside justifies an aggressive draft slot and should easily be one of the first three pitchers off the board.

5.
Cristopher Sanchez
PHI
Cristopher Sanchez finished second for the Cy Young Award in 2025, and without a historic season from Paul Skenes, he would have been an easy choice. Sanchez threw 202 innings with a 2.50 ERA, a 1.06 WHIP, and 212 strikeouts. His K-rate jumped to 26.3%, and his walk rate remained microscopic at 5.5%. He also had a 176 ERA+, good for fifth in the majors. If you don't want to pay the massive cost for one of the Big 3 pitchers, Sanchez is about as great of a "consolation prize" as there is in starting pitching in 2026.

6.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto
LAD
Yoshinobu Yamamoto followed up his MLB debut with a strong 2025, flashing elite command and swing-and-miss ability even as his workload was managed. That, however, went out the window when he threw 37-1/3 postseason innings, bringing his total to 210 in 2025. His 2026 projections show maintained excellent ratios and strikeout efficiency. The year-over-year improvement in pitch efficiency suggests he can work deeper into games moving forward. The biggest knock against Yamamoto is that he pitches for the Dodgers, who have a deep enough staff to go with a six-man rotation or rest elite starters down the stretch (fantasy playoffs) if they wish. In any case, Yamamoto profiles as a high-end fantasy starter whose value is anchored in ratios.

7.
Hunter Brown
HOU
By the end of 2024, it seemed Hunter Brown had unlocked his potential; in 2025, the door came flying open. The 26-year-old started 31 games, throwing 185 1/3 innings with a 2.43 ERA and 206 strikeouts. He increased his strikeout rate to 28.3% and lowered his walk rate to 7.8% to provide fantasy managers with an excellent WHIP of 1.03. Brown did benefit from some luck with a .262 BABIP, leading to an 82% LOB rate and an xERA of 3.17. Even with these small corrections, fantasy managers should view Brown as a bona fide SP1 heading into the 2026 season.
|
|
8.
Chris Sale
ATL
Chris Sale was absolutely cruising along in 2025, looking like a Cy Young candidate, before a fractured rib injury put him on the shelf from mid-June until the end of August. In 125 2/3 innings, he had a 2.58 ERA with 165 strikeouts and a 1.07 WHIP. His 32.4% strikeout rate and 5.16 K/BB rate remained elite, even in his age-36 season. It can be hard to trust power pitchers into their late 30s, but his return in August showed no lingering effects of the rib injury or indicated a pitcher on the decline. Sale is worthy of SP1 consideration, and fantasy managers can reasonably expect him to throw around 160+ innings at age 37.
|
|
9.
Logan Gilbert
SEA
When in doubt, draft Mariners pitchers. Logan Gilbert continued his ace-like ways in 2025, increasing his strikeout rate to 32.3% and striking out 173 in 131 innings. He ended the year with a 3.44 ERA, but his xERA was 3.06, so there is some correction expected in 2026. However, Gilbert's WHIP was a pristine 1.03, and if he can stay healthy enough to get near 30 starts, fantasy managers can write his name in ink as an SP1.
|
|
10.
Bryan Woo
SEA
Bryan Woo successfully made "the leap" in 2025, starting 30 games, throwing 186 2/3 innings with a 2.94 ERA and microscopic 0.93 WHIP. He gave up more home runs than we'd like, but his 5.5 K/BB ratio and 27.1% strikeout rate will definitely help us cope on that front. Woo ranked fifth in MLB in swinging strike rate above average with his fastball at 7.4%, only 0.1% behind Tarik Skubal. Woo is only 26 and well on his way to being the ace of any fantasy baseball staff.

11.
Jacob deGrom
TEX
From 2021 through 2024, Jacob deGrom threw a total of 196 innings, so you can forgive all fantasy managers everywhere for not foreseeing the 172 2/3 innings that arrived in 2025. The 37-year-old started 30 games for the Rangers, ending the year with a 2.97 ERA and his calling card of a 0.92 WHIP, while striking out 185 batters. His strikeout rate was down to 27.7%, which is still pretty elite, but the lowest it had been since 2016. He also got lucky with an opposing batter BABIP of .230, which suppressed his ERA by about 40 points. His FIP was also the highest of his career at 3.64. Look, projecting Jacob deGrom at this point seems like a fool's errand because it is all about health. If he throws another 160+ innings, he'll probably be worth his fourth-round price tag, but I wouldn't bet on that happening.
|
|
12.
Logan Webb
SF
Logan Webb just kept on keeping on in 2025. He pitched 207 innings, won 15 games, raised his strikeout rate to 26.2%, and continued to avoid walks, posting a 5.4% walk rate. His ERA of 3.22 was a bit low compared to his expected (3.58), but his FIP (2.60) and xFIP (2.78) remain elite. Webb continued to just be a workman in fantasy baseball, throwing over 200 innings for the third straight year. With a 4.87 K/BB ratio and entering his age-29 season, projections are calling for a slightly reduced strikeout rate, but fantasy managers can do a lot worse than Webb as their SP1.
|

13.
Cole Ragans
KC
After a brilliant 2024 season, Cole Ragans dealt with injuries in 2025, including a groin strain and a left rotator cuff strain. He started only 13 games, threw 61 2/3 innings, and finished with an ugly 4.67 ERA. However, his xERA was 2.68, FIP was 2.50, and xFIP was 2.45, so a lot of his struggles resulted from terrible luck (.354 BABIP). His 38.1% strikeout rate is unsustainable, but his career swinging strike rate is 14.2%, meaning he should remain a valuable source of Ks. No one likes hearing "left rotator cuff strain" on a left-handed pitcher, but upon his return late last year, he pitched his best innings of the season. There is some risk involved in the 28-year-old, but he will be a high-reward pick if he stays healthy.
|
|
14.
Max Fried
NYY
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.
|
|
15.
George Kirby
SEA
George Kirby's 2025 surface stats regressed (4.21 ERA, 1.19 WHIP) as his pristine control backed up, highlighted by a career-high 5.5% walk rate and elevated hard-hit contact. The encouraging sign was a spike in strikeouts (26.1% K rate, 9.8 K/9), which kept his underlying indicators intact, with hisn FIP notably lower than his ERA. His four-year track record of elite command and durability suggests the 2025 dip was more noise than skill erosion. Based on the 2026 projections and his underlying profile, Kirby profiles as a rebound SP2 whose draft cost should reflect last year's disappointment rather than his true talent.
|
|
16.
Freddy Peralta
NYM
Freddy Peralta followed up a solid 2024 with a true breakout in 2025, posting a 2.70 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, and 17 wins over 176.2 innings while finishing top-five in Cy Young voting. His underlying profile supported the leap, as he cut opponents' OPS to .603, limited home runs (2.9 HR%), and maintained an elite strikeout rate (28.2%) with improved run prevention (154 ERA+). The walk rate remains slightly elevated, but his ability to suppress hard contact and miss bats at a high level keeps the ratios stable. With 2026 projections continuing to forecast strong strikeouts and the move to New York to play for the Mets, Peralta profiles as a dependable fantasy ace rather than a volatile upside arm.
|
|
17.
Joe Ryan
MIN
Joe Ryan took a clear step forward in 2025, pairing a career-high workload (171 IP) with a 28.2% strikeout rate and his best ERA+ (125), supported by strong underlying indicators like a .218 opponent AVG and elite command (5.7% BB%). His four-seam-heavy profile still carries home run risk, but improved batted-ball suppression and a near-5.0 K/BB ratio helped stabilize his ratios year over year. The 2026 projections continue to view Ryan as a reliable mid-rotation fantasy anchor with above-average strikeouts and solid WHIP, even if he doesn't quite reach ace-level ceilings. At age 30 with a stable role and skills trending positively, Ryan profiles as a dependable SP2 who's safer than his draft cost suggests.
|
|
18.
Dylan Cease
TOR
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.
|
|
19.
Hunter Greene
CIN
Heading into 2025, Hunter Greene was on many fantasy analysts' "must-have" lists, and when he was healthy, he showed off the skillset that makes him exciting. He struck out 31.4% of batters, dropping his walk rate to 6.2%, and ended with a swinging strike rate of 15.4%. However, a right groin strain cost him almost two months of the season, limiting his innings to only 107 2/3 in 19 starts. Looking at 2026, if the 26-year-old can make 30 starts, he has all the characteristics necessary to be a SP1 in fantasy. Greene is worth the risk.
|
|
20.
Jesus Luzardo
PHI
In his first season in Philadelphia, Jesus Luzardo threw 183 2/3 innings, struck out 216 batters, and ended with a 3.92 ERA and 1.22 WHIP. His xERA was 3.34, and his FIP was an impressive 2.90. Lizardo's strikeout rate of 28.5% was in line with his two best seasons in Miami in 2022 and 2023, and even though we don't chase wins, his 15-7 record was a nice addition in fantasy. He cut his HR/9 to 0.78, the lowest of his career as a starter. Heading into his age-28 season, Luzardo profiles as a solid SP2 in fantasy.
|
|
21.
Framber Valdez
DET
After a long offseason of speculation, Framber Valdez signed a three-year, $115 million deal with the Detroit Tigers, immediately making that team the runaway favorites in the AL Central. Valdez struggled a little in 2025, ending with a 3.66 ERA, the highest in his career as a starter. Most of this was due to the wheels coming off in the second half of the season, when he accumulated a 5.20 ERA, and opponents began hitting the ball much harder off him. However, he will reunite with AJ Hinch in Detroit, and he struck out 187 batters in 192 innings. Comerica Park should help keep him in games, and Valdez remains a quality start machine. Not a bad SP2 to have, for Detroit or a fantasy team.
|
|
22.
Kyle Bradish
BAL
Kyle Bradish's road back from Tommy John surgery was long, but his return in August 2025 showed the potential for building on the breakout foundation he established during his 2023 Cy Young-caliber campaign. The 2026 projections appropriately price in strong ratios and strikeouts but stop short of a full starter's workload, capping his ceiling in volume-driven formats. Bradish profiles as a high-upside fantasy riser whose value spikes in leagues that prioritize ratios and strikeout efficiency over innings.
|
|
23.
Nick Pivetta
SD
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. The 2026 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.
|
|
24.
Eury Perez
MIA
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.
|
|
25.
Nolan McLean
NYM
Nolan McLean's brief 2025 MLB sample showcased frontline skills beneath the surface, highlighted by a 30.3% strikeout rate, elite 60.2% ground-ball rate, and a microscopic 2.1% HR rate, all of which supported his strong ERA despite modest volume. His ability to suppress quality contact (89.5 mph average EV, .571 OPS against) paired with above-average command (8.5% BB%) suggests the performance wasn't fluky, even if some ERA regression is likely as innings scale. The 2026 projections point to a heavier workload with solid strikeout totals, making durability and role security the main remaining questions rather than skill. Given the bat-missing profile and batted-ball dominance, McLean profiles as a high-upside fantasy sleeper who can outperform his draft cost if he holds a regular rotation spot.
|
|
26.
Blake Snell
LAD
Blake Snell remains one of fantasy baseball's most volatile aces, pairing elite strikeout ability with persistent workload and control risk. His 2025 season with Los Angeles featured a dominant 2.35 ERA and strong run prevention metrics, but it came in just 61.1 innings, reinforcing long-standing durability concerns. The 2026 projections again favor strong ratios and well-above-average strikeout rates, though modest innings expectations cap his overall fantasy ceiling. Snell's swing-and-miss stuff still plays at a Cy Young level when healthy, but his elevated walk rates continue to introduce WHIP volatility. Fantasy designation: High-risk SP2 / ratio-boosting upside play, best suited for managers willing to absorb innings risk in exchange for elite per-inning production.
|
|
27.
Kevin Gausman
TOR
Kevin Gausman followed up his 2024 dip with a strong rebound in 2025, logging 193 innings with a 3.59 ERA and an excellent 1.06 WHIP, supported by a .216 opponent average and improved run prevention metrics. While his strikeout rate (24.4% K%) remained solid, it was well below his 2022-23 peak, reinforcing the trend that his fantasy ceiling is no longer ace-level. The 2026 projections reflect this reality, forecasting dependable innings, solid ratios, and above-average command, but fewer strikeouts than elite fantasy starters. At age 35, Gausman profiles as a fantasy faller relative to his name value—best suited as a high-floor SP3/4 rather than a staff anchor, with value tied heavily to workload stability and ratio support rather than upside.
|
|
28.
Tyler Glasnow
LAD
Tyler Glasnow followed up his 2024 All-Star campaign (3.49 ERA, 168 K in 134 IP) with a strong but abbreviated 2025, posting a 3.19 ERA and .177 BAA across 90.1 innings. The swing-and-miss remained intact (29% K rate), but his walk rate spiked to 11.7%, driving a 3.75 FIP and reminding fantasy managers that command volatility still lurks beneath the surface. His contact quality allowed stayed manageable (88.2 mph EV, 37.6% HardHit%), and he continued to suppress damage despite a slight dip in strikeout dominance year over year. The 2026 projections lean into a rebound in workload with frontline ratios and well north of a strikeout per inning, banking on improved control closer to his 2023-2024 levels. In Los Angeles, team context keeps his win ceiling elevated whenever he's active, but durability remains the swing factor after topping 120 innings just twice in his career. Glasnow profiles as a high-end SP2 with SP1 per-start upside — just be prepared to build in contingency plans for missed time.
|
|
29.
Spencer Strider
ATL
Spencer Strider's 2025 was a clear step back from his 2022-23 dominance, with sharp declines in strikeout rate (24.3% from elite 36%+ levels), rising hard-hit rate (42.6%), and a career-worst 4.45 ERA that mirrored weaker underlying command. While velocity and bat-missing ability weren't lost entirely, his reduced K/BB profile and elevated damage on contact capped his fantasy ceiling. The 2026 projections still view Strider as a high-strikeout arm, but no longer in a tier of his own, reflecting durability concerns and a thinner margin for error. He's a fantasy faller priced below his peak, though a partial rebound in strikeouts could still make him a strong SP2 rather than the automatic ace he once was.
|
|
30.
Sonny Gray
BOS
Sonny Gray was one of the only bright spots in the Cardinals' 2025 season. He started 32 games, threw 180 2/3 innings, and struck out 201 batters. His ERA was inflated at 4.28 with an expected of 3.90, but his FIP (3.39) suggests both of these numbers are high, and his xFIP is even lower at 3.06. Gray turns 36 this year, and projections have him profiled as more of an SP3 or SP4. Still, the move to Boston should give him more win equity, and he is worth consideration in the middle rounds.
|
|
31.
Brandon Woodruff
MIL
Woodruff returned to the mound in 2025 and was highly effective on a per-inning basis, posting a 3.20 ERA, 0.91 WHIP, and an elite 32.3% strikeout rate across 64.2 innings. His 5.4% walk rate was a career best, and opponents managed just a .188 batting average with a .573 OPS against him, reinforcing that his bat-missing ability remains intact. However, the sample size again tells the story — he has been oft injured in recent seasons, logging just 12 starts in 2025 after making only 11 in 2023. The 2026 projections reflect that duality: strong ratios and a healthy strikeout total on a per-start basis, but with workload expectations tempered relative to his 2021 ace peak (179.1 IP, 2.56 ERA). When active, Woodruff still profiles as a high-end SP2 with SP1-level efficiency, yet durability risk keeps him from being drafted in that tier. Fantasy managers should bake in missed time and pair him with safer innings volume rather than relying on him as a staff anchor.
|
|
|
32.
Trey Yesavage
TOR
Yesavage's 2025 debut was brief but intriguing, posting a 3.21 ERA and 2.35 FIP across three starts with a 25.8% strikeout rate. 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. The 2026 projections appear to price in regression toward league-average ratios with solid strikeout totals over a larger workload. Fantasy managers should view Yesavage as a high-variance upside arm — the swing-and-miss ability is real, but unless the contact quality improves, he's more of a late-round flier or watch-list candidate in standard formats rather than a draft-day priority.
|
|
33.
Emmet Sheehan
LAD
Emmet Sheehan took a meaningful step forward in 2025, trimming his ERA from 4.92 in 2023 to 2.82 while improving nearly every underlying indicator. His strikeout rate jumped to 30.6% (up from 25.8%), supported by a 10.9 K/9 and a sharp drop in walk rate (7.6%), leading to a strong 4.05 K/BB ratio. Opponents managed just a .185 batting average and .568 OPS against him, and his HR rate was cut nearly in half (4.4% to 2.4%), signaling improved pitch execution and command within the zone. The profile isn't without volatility — his fly-ball lean (career 0.50 GB/FB) can create some homer risk in tougher matchups — but the swing-and-miss foundation is real, and his 2.93 FIP in 2025 backs up the breakout. If his 2026 projections hold near a double-digit K/9 with solid ratios, Sheehan profiles as a high-upside SP3 in 12-team formats with SP2 weeks when the command is dialed in. On a strong Dodgers roster, the win equity further boosts his fantasy appeal, making him a worthwhile mid-round target for managers chasing strikeouts without paying ace prices.
|
|
34.
Jacob Misiorowski
MIL
Misiorowski's 2025 debut showcased frontline bat-missing ability, as he posted a 31.9% strikeout rate and 11.9 K/9 across 66 innings — both well above league average — while holding hitters to a .213 average and .671 OPS. His 3.62 FIP undercut a 4.36 ERA, suggesting his underlying performance was stronger than the surface stats, though a 4.2 BB/9 and 11.4% walk rate highlight the volatility. The batted-ball profile (37.7% HardHit, 2.9% HR rate) supports the idea that his stuff can limit damage when he's in the zone. Looking ahead to 2026, projections point to a workload jump and continued strikeout upside, but fantasy managers should expect ratio swings tied to command consistency. He profiles as a high-ceiling SP3/SP4 in standard leagues — one who can anchor strikeouts but may require roster insulation in WHIP.
|
|
35.
Nathan Eovaldi
TEX
Nathan Eovaldi delivered one of the most dominant seasons of his career in 2025, posting a microscopic 1.73 ERA with elite run suppression backed by a .194 opponent average and a career-best 26.0% strikeout rate. Even though the ERA was aided by luck (xERA 3.02, career-low BABIP of .243), the underlying skills support much of the breakout, as his walk rate dropped to 4.2% and his hard-hit rate fell below 40%. While durability remains the primary concern entering his age-36 season, the 2026 projections still view him as a high-quality rotation anchor with strong ratios and solid strikeout volume when healthy. In fantasy formats, Eovaldi profiles as a calculated upside SP2 whose value hinges on workload but whose efficiency can meaningfully outperform his draft cost.
|
|
36.
Chase Burns
CIN
Chase Burns flashed frontline bat-missing ability in his 2025 debut, posting a dominant 35.6% strikeout rate and 13.9 K/9 across 43.1 innings for Cincinnati. His 2.65 FIP sat nearly two runs below his 4.57 ERA, driven by a manageable 2.7% HR rate and elite swing-and-miss stuff, but a .364 BABIP and 45.7% hard-hit rate created volatility in the small sample. Burns' 8.5% walk rate was reasonable for a 22-year-old power arm, though his 0.56 GB/FB ratio suggests he'll need to sharpen command to limit damage in homer-friendly environments. Looking ahead to 2026, the projections lean into the strikeout upside while forecasting some ERA regression toward his underlying metrics as he secures a steadier rotation role. If the workload climbs into a full-season starter's range, Burns profiles as a high-K SP with ratios that may fluctuate week to week. In fantasy, he's best deployed as an upside SP3/SP4 in mixed leagues, with legitimate breakout potential if the command tightens and the batted-ball profile stabilizes.
|
|
37.
Zack Wheeler
PHI
Zack Wheeler followed up his dominant 2024 with an even sharper skill set in 2025, posting a career-best 11.73 K/9 and 33.3% strikeout rate alongside a stellar 27.7% K-BB%. His 2.71 ERA was supported by a 2.48 xERA, though a spike to 1.14 HR/9 and a lofty 82.4% strand rate suggest some regression baked into that surface line. The question for Wheeler is how he will recover from the thoracic outlet surgery he underwent last season. Recovery is listed as 6 to 8 months, so the chances of him being ready for Opening Day are slim to none, but the latest report is that it "shouldn't be too long" after that. All of this makes him a high-risk, high-reward pitcher capable of being the SP1 he's been, but fantasy managers should count on some regression based on the injury and the fact that he will be 36 this season.
|
|
38.
Michael King
SD
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 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. The underlying profile remains solid — a career 27.0% K rate with consistently better-than-average contact suppression — but his 2025 FIP (4.42) suggests he wasn't as sharp when on the mound. The 2026 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.

Nick Lodolo
CIN
Nick Lodolo finally delivered the healthy, front-line season managers have been waiting for in 2025, logging 156.2 innings with a 3.33 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, and career-best 4.8% walk rate. The improved command was the separator, as his BB% dropped sharply while maintaining a strong 24.3% strikeout rate and suppressing hard contact (87.6 mph EV). His 3.81 FIP suggests the ERA was mostly earned, though a slightly elevated 3.4% HR rate and fly-ball lean in Cincinnati keep some volatility baked in. The 2026 projections forecast another step forward in workload with ratios that remain comfortably above league average, positioning Lodolo as a high-end SP2 with SP1 upside if the command gains hold. Durability is still part of the evaluation given prior injuries, but the underlying profile — plus control, above-average swing-and-miss and neutral batted-ball quality — supports drafting him confidently inside the top 25-30 starters with room for profit.

Sandy Alcantara
MIA
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.
|

41.
Luis Castillo
SEA
Luis Castillo remains a reliable innings-eater, but his 2025 profile showed continued erosion in strikeout rate (21.7% K%) and rising hard contact (46.5% HardHit), limiting his fantasy ceiling. While his command stayed strong and ERA stability persists, the whiff decline and increasing fly-ball tendencies have pushed him further from ace territory. The 2026 projections reflect more of the same: solid ratios and workload, but middling strikeout totals compared to the top fantasy arms. Castillo is still a dependable rotation anchor in deeper formats, though fantasy managers should no longer pay for peak-era upside.

42.
Ryan Pepiot
TB
Ryan Pepiot logged a career-high 167.2 innings in 2025, but the underlying metrics point to mild regression risk after his ERA rose to 3.86 with a 4.36 FIP. His strikeout rate dipped to 24.6% (down from 26.3% in 2024) while hard-hit rate spiked to 42.8%, contributing to a career-high 26 homers allowed and a .404 SLG against. The walk rate held steady (9.0%), and his 38.2% ground-ball rate was a modest improvement, but the contact quality trend is worth monitoring. The 2026 projections peg him for similar volume with a mid-3.00s ERA and roughly a strikeout per inning, reinforcing his profile as a stable SP3/4 in fantasy formats. Pepiot's swing-and-miss ability remains intact, and the move back to Tropicana Field should correct the issues with the long ball. However, draft him for ratio stability and workload rather than expecting another skills leap.

Cam Schlittler
NYY
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%). His .217 batting average against and .646 OPS allowed highlight how difficult he was to square up, and a modest 2.6% HR rate helped suppress damage despite a below-average 36.4% ground-ball rate. The 3.74 FIP and 10.2% walk rate suggest there's still refinement needed with command, but the 10.4 K/9 and 89.0 mph average exit velocity allowed point to sustainable swing-and-miss ability. 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.

44.
Ranger Suarez
BOS
Ranger Suárez quietly delivered his best all-around season in 2025, pairing a 3.20 ERA with career-best walk suppression (5.8 BB%) while holding hitters to a sub-.680 OPS for the second straight year. His strikeout rate (23.2%) remained stable, but the real growth came from improved command and softer contact, as his HardHit rate dipped to a career low despite a slight drop in ground-ball rate. The 2026 projections largely bank on more of the same: mid-3.00s ratios, solid volume, and strong WHIP support driven by control rather than overpowering stuff. While he lacks true ace-level strikeout upside, Suárez's durability, efficiency, and run-prevention profile make him a high-floor SP2 who continues to outperform his draft-day perception in fantasy formats.

45.
Robbie Ray
SF
Robbie Ray rebounded in 2025 with a 3.65 ERA and 1.21 WHIP across 182.1 innings for San Francisco, earning an All-Star nod after an injury-marred 2023 and abbreviated 2024. While his 24.6% strikeout rate dipped well below his 2021 Cy Young peak (32.1%), he paired it with a manageable 9.7% walk rate and a reduced 2.9% HR rate, driving a solid .221 opponent average and .681 OPS against. The underlying metrics (3.93 FIP, 90.5 mph EV allowed, 45.1% hard-hit rate) suggest he's no longer overpowering hitters at an elite level, but he remains effective when commanding the zone. Looking ahead to 2026, projections point to stable mid-rotation production rather than a return to ace-level dominance. Ray's declining strikeout trend (from 32% in 2021 to sub-25% in 2025) caps his fantasy ceiling, but his ability to take the ball for 30+ starts and limit damage keeps his floor relatively intact.
|
|
46.
MacKenzie Gore
TEX
MacKenzie Gore followed up his 2024 step forward with another strikeout-heavy season in 2025, posting a career-best K-rate (27%+) while maintaining improved walk control compared to his early MLB years. His ERA remained volatile (4.17) despite strong underlying indicators, as a neutral HR rate and elevated BABIP continued to inflate ratios relative to his FIP. The 2026 projections largely stabilize him as a mid-rotation arm, forecasting solid strikeouts with league-average ERA and WHIP over a full workload. At age 27, Gore looks like a fantasy SP3/SP4 whose upside is tied to further command gains, making him an appealing target in formats that reward strikeouts. The move to Texas could boost his win total, but only if the other metrics continue to improve.

47.
Bubba Chandler
PIT
The Pirates faced criticism for keeping Bubba Chandler in Triple-A despite his dominant start (1.42 ERA, 0.67 WHIP, 36:7 K:BB by May 1), but his command slipped over the next three months, as he logged a 1.75 WHIP and 85:46 K:BB in 74.2 innings with six outings of four-plus walks. Promoted in late August after preserving rookie eligibility, the 23-year-old righty looked like a potential frontline starter outside of one blowup against Milwaukee (nine earned runs in 2.2 innings); excluding that start, he posted a 1.57 ERA, 0.59 WHIP and 28:1 K:BB across 28.2 innings. Armed with a 99-mph fastball, 89-mph slider and a 92-mph changeup that generated a 39.6% whiff rate in the majors, Chandler combines premium velocity with a durable 6-foot-3 frame and three straight 110-plus inning seasons, giving him the upside to emerge as one of the game's top young starters if his command stabilizes.
|
|
48.
Gavin Williams
CLE
Gavin Williams re-established himself as a high-upside rotation anchor in 2025, posting a 3.06 ERA and 3.8 WAR across 167.2 innings after a rocky, injury-affected 2024 campaign. His strikeout rate ticked up to 24.6%, and he held opponents to a .211 average with a well-above-average 137 ERA+, but persistent control issues (11.8% BB rate, 4.5 BB/9) continue to inflate his WHIP (1.270) and FIP (4.39). The improved ground-ball rate (45.6%) and suppressed .254 BABIP helped drive the ERA rebound, though the elevated hard-hit rate (44.4%) suggests some volatility remains. If his 2026 projections forecast even modest gains in command, Williams profiles as a fantasy riser with SP2 upside; however, without tangible walk-rate improvement, he remains a ratio-risk arm despite the strikeout ceiling.
|
|
49.
Trevor Rogers
BAL
Trevor Rogers' 2025 rebound was dramatic, highlighted by a 1.81 ERA, elite run prevention (223 ERA+), and sharp ratios driven by improved command (6.9 BB%) and a return to missing bats (24.3 K%). The advanced profile supports the breakout: opponents managed just a .503 OPS with a suppressed BABIP (.228), while his batted-ball mix stayed balanced and homer rate remained well below league average. After multiple injury- and performance-marred seasons from 2022-24, the Orioles stint unlocked stability and efficiency without a full return to peak strikeout volume. The 2026 projections understandably bake in some regression from ace-level run prevention, but Rogers profiles as a strong SP3 with upside in formats that reward ratios—especially if his walk gains hold.
|
|
50.
Drew Rasmussen
TB
Everyone seems to be forgetting the Rays are moving back into their spacious, pitcher-friendly ballpark in 2026 and ranking Drew Rasmussen way too low. He gave up more than 1.0 HR/9 for the first time in his career, but allowed twice as many at home in George Steinbrenner Field, which he won't have to deal with this season. His strikeout rate is middle of the road at 21.7%, but his walk rate is an impressive 6.3%, offering a WHIP below 1.10 every year of his career. He started 31 games last season, and even though his xERA (3.43) was higher than his actual (2.76), his ERA and FIP numbers from the previous two years, when he got to pitch at Tropicana Field, were stellar. It's worth it to target all of the Rays pitchers, but Rasmussen leads the way and would make a solid SP3 or SP4 on any fantasy pitching staff.
|
|
51.
Tanner Bibee
CLE
Tanner Bibee took a noticeable step back in 2025, posting a 4.24 ERA and 4.34 FIP across a career-high 182.1 innings after delivering sub-3.50 ERAs in each of his first two seasons. The biggest red flag was a sharp dip in strikeout rate (21.3% K%) paired with a career-worst 3.5% HR rate, as his four-seam/slider combo generated fewer whiffs and more damaging contact despite a heavier ground-ball lean (44.6% GB%). While his walk rate remained solid and his BABIP (.283) suggests little bad luck, the decline in swing-and-miss ability and negative WPA underscore the regression. With 2026 projections forecasting stabilization rather than a full rebound, Bibee profiles as a mild fantasy faller entering draft season — more SP3 than frontline anchor unless the strikeout rate bounces back.
|

52.
Shota Imanaga
CHC
Shota Imanaga followed up a brilliant 2024 debut (2.91 ERA, 25.1% K rate, 4.0% BB rate) with a more volatile 2025 campaign, as his ERA climbed to 3.73 and his strikeout rate dipped to 20.6%. While he continued to limit walks at an elite clip (4.6% BB%) and suppress batting average (.218 BAA), a spike in home run rate (5.5% HR%) and hard-hit contact (43.9%) led to a sharp jump in FIP (4.86). The batted-ball profile shift — fewer ground balls (29.1%) and more fly balls (39.7%) — suggests his margin for error narrowed considerably compared to 2024. Fantasy managers should view Imanaga as a mild faller entering 2026 drafts, though his strong command and projected workload stability keep him firmly in SP2 territory if the homer regression stabilizes.

53.
Carlos Rodon
NYY
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. The underlying profile supports the rebound: opponents hit just .188 against him with a career-best .230 BABIP, while his ground-ball rate (43.1%) ticked back up and hard-hit rate dipped below league average. His strikeout rate (25.7%) wasn't quite at his 2021-2022 peak, but improved run prevention and workload stability made him a high-end fantasy anchor. The 2026 projections expect some ERA regression closer to his FIP (3.78 in 2025) and normalized BABIP, but still forecast a durable SP2 with strong win equity in New York. He is currently recovering from an elbow procedure and is projected to begin his season in late April/early May.

Edward Cabrera
CHC
Edward Cabrera put together his most complete season in 2025, logging a career-high 137.2 innings with a 3.53 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and a career-best 8.3% walk rate. The improved command was the key development, as his strikeout rate (25.8%) remained comfortably above league average while his BB% dipped closer to MLB norms (8.4%). Cabrera's 90.0 mph average exit velocity and 46.5% hard-hit rate show there's still some volatility, but his 3.83 FIP and 9.8 K/9 support the overall skills growth. If the 2026 projections hold around similar strikeout production with manageable walks, Cabrera profiles as a high-upside SP3 in fantasy with room for more if the control gains stick. The health and workload trend from 2025 is equally important after earlier durability concerns. He's best deployed as a strikeout-leaning arm in roto formats, but the narrowed walk rate gives him a higher weekly floor than in previous seasons.

56.
Cade Horton
CHC
Cade Horton broke through in 2025 with a 2.67 ERA and 1.09 WHIP across 118 innings, finishing second in NL Rookie of the Year voting after posting a 144 ERA+. His underlying profile was strong but not overpowering, as his 3.58 FIP and 7.4 K/9 suggest more command-and-contact management than bat-missing dominance. Horton limited damage effectively (0.8 HR/9, 2.5 BB/9), and his 3.05 RA9 backed up much of the run prevention, though some regression toward his estimators is reasonable entering 2026. If the 2026 projections push him closer to the mid-3.00s in ERA with a modest bump in workload, that frames Horton as a high-floor SP3/SP4 in fantasy rather than a true ace. Without elite strikeout volume, his value will hinge on efficiency, wins and ratio stability in a competitive Cubs rotation. Draft him as a steady innings stabilizer, but avoid paying for a repeat sub-2.75 ERA unless there's tangible growth in swing-and-miss.

Jose Soriano
LAA
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.

Yusei Kikuchi
LAA
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.

Spencer Schwellenbach quietly took another step forward in 2025, pairing a 3.09 ERA and 0.97 WHIP with elite control (4.1% BB%) and strong contact suppression (.217 BAA, .618 OPS against). His batted-ball profile improved year over year, featuring a higher ground-ball rate (47.1%) and a sub-3% HR rate, helping him outperform league averages despite only modest strikeout totals. He missed time with an elbow fracture, and he will start the season on the 60-day IL with elbow inflammation. He is a risky draft pick who could pay off if the injuries don't derail his entire season, but I wouldn't count on it.
