2026 Fantasy Baseball Draft Notes

Position

Team

Jacob deGrom Note
	14. Jacob deGrom 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. 3 weeks ago

Nathan Eovaldi Note
	28. Nathan Eovaldi 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. Durability remains the primary concern entering his age-36 season, but 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 an SP2 whose value hinges on workload but whose efficiency can meaningfully outperform his draft cost. 3 weeks ago

MacKenzie Gore Note
	42. MacKenzie Gore 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. Projections suggest he is 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. The move to Texas could boost his win total, but only if the other metrics continue to improve. 3 weeks ago
