Expert Note
View More NotesJuan Soto's first season with the Mets produced 43 HR, 37 SB, and a .396 OBP, marking his highest fantasy ceiling since 2021. His 2026 projections dial back the steals (a common trait across projection systems) but still expect mid-30s HR, with a slight batting-average uptick. The plate discipline remains near flawless, and his run-production environment should stay strong. Soto enters 2026 as a high-floor, high-ceiling first-round hitter whose across-the-board contributions make him one of the safest early picks.

New York Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns said on Tuesday that Juan Soto will play left field this season.
Fantasy Impact
Soto played 157 games in right field and served as the designated hitter three times in 2025, but is expected to shift to left field in 2026. He began his career in left and logged 154 games there with the San Diego Padres in 2023, so the transition should be fairly seamless for the 27-year-old. Stearns mentioned Carson Benge, Brett Baty, Tyrone Taylor and MJ Melendez as potential candidates to open the season in right field for the Mets in 2026.
