Jacob Wilson took a major step forward in 2025, finishing second in AL Rookie of the Year voting. His elite 7.5% strikeout rate and 84.1 mph average exit velocity underscore his contact-over-power profile, but a 52.4% ground-ball rate and modest 2.5% HR rate cap the overall ceiling. The 2026 projection (.296/.350/.435, 12 HR, 5 SB in 472 PA) reflects some batting average regression from a .317 BABIP, though his bat-to-ball skills should keep him a category stabilizer. Wilson is more of a high-floor MI option than a true breakout candidate, but if fantasy managers load up on power early, that almost-.300 batting average would be a welcome addition.
