Fantasy Baseball Player Notes

Trevor Story's 2025 rebound was quietly impressive, as he logged a full season for the first time since 2021 and delivered 25 HR with a career-best 31 stolen bases, restoring much of his fantasy relevance. While the batting average (.263) and on-base skills remain below his Colorado peak, the power-speed blend at shortstop is once again intact when volume is present. Strikeouts remain elevated, but the counting stats were buoyed by durability and everyday role stability, which had been the primary concern the prior two seasons. Entering 2026, Story profiles as a high-variance but legitimate middle-infield upside play, with health, rather than skill erosion, still the defining risk.
