Hello friends, and welcome to the 2026 season! I hope the offseason has been kind to you - I know how hard shit can be in 2026, especially without baseball as the ultimate distraction. But fret not, for we now have half-a-year of America's pastime ahead of us, and surely it will last forever...right? Six months is basically an eternity...right? With a new season comes exciting new analysis: Who has improved bat speed?! Who has decreased bat speed :( Who's changed their batting stance? Is the swing/tilt improved? Is Fernando Tatis Jr. getting under the ball again? God I hope so. Oh, that guy gained 20 lbs. of muscle and is in the best shape of his life? Wait, did Zac Veen get large right around the time all the pets in town went missing? This guy added a new pitch? That dude has increased velocity? The beginnings of a new season are very, very good for the neurotic brain with nothing else to focus on, aside from all the bad shit happening in the world. That's not to say I haven't been extremely busy this offseason, though. By my estimation, I've compiled some of the more detailed and palatable Dynasty Prospect lists and data analyses over on my Patreon, most of which are now freely available to the public. I'll be copying and editing them here over the next couple of days if you want to check those out. But feel free to go subscribe free or paid, and nab an invite to the Gerbil Sports discord. We'll be talking about baseball all day, everyday, alongside posting in-progress Waiver Wire analyses on the daily. If you're looking for those waiver-wire steals before the weekly Sunday post, I've got you covered. The Patreon has become one of the coolest things I've ever created in my life, something that is both entirely my own and also shared with an awesome community of ball-lovers. We've reached 167 total members, with 64 of them helping support the costs of being a living being that only studies baseball all day. Now that shit is cool. In an age of AI slop infecting even the most mainstream and well-respected of fantasy baseball outlets, we're going to keep cooking up content with a human touch. This cheat sheet is designed to be quick and to the point, but some of the pitchers will contain excerpts from other articles from the Patreon. If you're looking for more specific data analysis, feel free to check those out. Enjoy!

All images of Spring Training metrics comes from Prospectsavant.com. Go donate! Ben Brown, SP, C+ (Budget)

Everybody run...Ben Brown's got a sinker. This is actually pretty crazy. 2025 Ben Brown looked like this:

4-seam, 55.6% Curve, 39.9% Changeup, 4.5% Ben Brown was basically a 2-pitch pitcher, and boy did I hate that for him. It was my #1 critique - if Ben Brown could add even one more pitch, he'd be a lot less predictable. His 4-seam coming in at 96 mph on 78th percentile extension already had Brown looking like a guy with the juice to dominate the zone and reminded me a lot of Tyler Glasnow, but hitters were ultimately able to sit on the pitch - 56% usage was just too high when it was easily distinguishable from the curveball (.217xBA, awesome pitch). But now you're telling me Ben Brown looks like this, and the pitch he developed is seemingly a plus offering? : Curve, 34.6% 4-seam, 34.6% SINKER, 26.9% Changeup, 3.8% Welp, there it is, the evolution of Ben Brown. I guess this explains his .205 BA against this Spring, and absolutely stunning spring training statcast. Now that Brown has three viable pitches and the rare changeup, his entire outlook changes - especially with that sinker being a 106 psStuff+ pitch coming in hot at 97.3 mph. Combine that with the 37% curveball use we're seeing and Brown is suddenly much less predictabe and a lot more dangerous. 100 mph perceived velocity on two different pitches will get by hitters in a hurry if they start sitting on a primary knuckle-curve. I'm going to try to buy in all dynasty leagues. In redraft, this is an easy late-round pick.

Brandon Williamson, SP, C- (Pending Super Budget)

Pending confirmation that Brandon Williamson will officially be entering the rotation, this is going to be a really savvy waiver add or late draft pick.

With news of the Reds opting for a six-man rotation, Brandon Williamson has instantly become relevant in deeper leagues. Although his metrics in 2023 and 2024 were nothing to write home about, Williamson was a fine waiver add in deep redraft leagues and never posted a WHIP above 1.30 in either campaign.

Spring training Brandon Williamson has looked like the best iteration thus far, with a 94.5 mph sinker and 4-seam up in velocity from 92.5 mph in 2024. To top it off, we're seeing him throw six pitches with distinct shapes that take advantage of the full strike zone, as opposed to the four pitches we saw in 2024. His sweeper is shaping up to be a solid swing-and-miss offering and TJ Stats currently has it graded above 100, while Prospectsavant has the cutter graded above 100 - not too shabby, receiving two 100+ pitch grades from reputable sources!

Between the velocity increase and improved pitch mix, Brandon Williamson is one of the more exciting speculative adds as we approach the regular season. And guess what, he's free! His Spring .154 BA against and .213 wOBA just screams "pick me, senpai!"

Just pick him.

Shane Baz, SP, B+

As the wise queen Rupaul once said - wear the clothes, don't let clothes wear you. Baz has the stuff, but the stuff, perhaps, has also had Baz. Maybe no longer. Baz seems to finally be mastering his filthy, gut-wrenching, knee-buckling stuff - thus far, Baz has a .103 BA against through 23 plate appearances with an 89th percentile K rate alongside an 89th percentile chase rate. Yes, the BB% is still inflated - 17.4% to be exact - but that's acceptable when nobody can buy a hit. IT WAS NOT acceptable when hitters were crushing HRs off Baz in 2025. And when you have guys chasing and striking out? It's okay to throw outside the zone sometimes; this is basically the only profile where BB's are alright.

As the 59th SP off the board, Baz has way too much value to pass up. His 99 mph 4-seam and knuckle-curve combo are an elite punch-out combo that reminds me a lot of his former teammate Tyler Glasnow. The 4-seam gets by you in the zone, the curve makes you chase and look like a damn fool. Some of the other pitches being drafted around Baz include Imai Gallen Kelly Leiter Musgrove

Baz really stands out as having the best stuff here, and although Imai is extremely enticing, he is still just an unknown at this point. Baz's 4-seam fastball doesn't just rely on velocity, but also excellent iVB out of a really nice 3/4 slot. Pair that with his curveball, which although nasty, hasn't quite had good location due to the tremendous amount of break induced. But that shit currently has a 64% whiff rate in Spring Training alongside the 28% whiff rate 4-seam. If Baz can truly locate both pitches, he might wind up battling it out with Trevor Rogers for the title of Orioles' ace.

Ryne Nelson, SP, A+

"I've written quite a bit about Ryne Nelson, and you probably most recently saw me praise his 4-seam fastball in my Underrated 4-seams list. Let me excerpt that for ya: Watching the Diamondbacks jerk Nelson back and forth (no pause) between the bullpen and rotation had me dying inside. Everything about Nelson screamed front of the rotation material - his metrics looked solid, he's right in his prime having just turned 28, and he passes the eye test with ease. Diamondbacks management looked especially silly when he easily took advantage of the role, deliver quality starts in six of his final seven appearances on the year. You see that 99th percentile fastball run value? That's not a fluke. That accurately reflects just how good the pitch is: 72nd percentile velocity 87th percentile extension 19.2 inches IVB Nelson is one of the best high release point fastball throwers in the league, and although it doesn't make guys whiff or ground out at an insane rate, it happens to lead to a bunch of easy flyouts and foul balls. On top of the variety of ways it induces outs and poor contact, he has masterful location of the pitch with a really nice .244 wOBA. He threw the pitch on 62% usage, and I wouldn't expect that to change in 2026. Ryne also boasts a plus slider (.211 BA) and curveball ( .222 BA) that he uses as put-away pitches, so don't consider him a one-trick pony.Going into 2026, even a bit of improvement from Ryne could very well have him being considered the ace of the D-Backs rotation, and even a few Cy Young votes wouldn't be off the table if he manages to get that crispy 1.07 WHIP below the 1.00 mark. The stuff is there, the location is there, and now it's just a matter of the D-Backs staff finally showing a little bit of faith in Ryne as real SP. " So it should come as no surprise, then, that Ryne Nelson not only makes this cheat sheet, but also qualifies as a super value as the 78th pitcher off the board. Ryne Nelson had a fine 2025 in which he pitched to a 3.39 ERA and 1.07 WHIP, but I'm thinking a sleeper Cy Young-esque campaign is on the table for 2026.

Spring has been excellent for Ryne, and that's an understatement. He currently boasts a .205 BA against over 46 plate appearances with a .309 wOBA. And 16 Ks to 2 BB...damn. And the really fun part of this? He's throwing his cutter on 12.7% usage with a 46.2% whiff rate. 2025 Ryne Nelson threw it on 9.9% usage and it was his 4th pitch, so we're definitely seeing some intriguing experimentation that's led to some much higher K and Whiff rates. If Ryne actually intends to swap slider with his cutter, or use them more evenly, and winds up being more a power strikeout guy, a top 30 SP finish is in the cards. Hell, I already thought that was possible before the pitch mix change, now I'm even more in.

,

Kyle Leahy, SP, C+ (Super Budget)

I've been watching Leahy pretty closely all Spring and I've gotta say, I'm in. A .229 BA, 65th percentile K rate, and 58th percentile BB rate are exactly what fantasy relevant starting pitchers are made of. Leahy has looked mostly sharp this Spring, with one awful outing being balanced out with one perfect outing alongside being generally good. It's become pretty clear that Leahy is tinkering with his pitch mix, throwing the sinker on 23% usage vs his 7.5% 2025 usage. The psStuff+ grades are modest here with only two offerings coming in at 100 or higher, but the sweeper is really carrying the overall 99 psStuff grade here with an absurdly high 125. And this sweeper is a real beauty, yet he's doesn't use it to punch out any of the guys in his latest outing:

https://www.mlb.com/video/kyle-leahy-k-s-five

This sweeper had a 29% K rate in 2025, so trust me, he's definitely tinkering here. Especially with that sinker which is coming in with some solid horizontal break and playing well alongside the changeup. Honestly, Leahy's 6-pitch mix is pretty overwhelming, and this is the perfect time to find out what works best. In regards to that 4-seam fastball - don't sleep on it despite the 97 psStuff+ grade. It has a really solid 16 inch iVB out of a 3/4 slot. Think Bryan Woo lite. Leahy, like a few of the other pitcher listed here, is completely free and not even drafted in a majority of leagues. You may be getting a pretty decent fantasy contributor here

Another excerpt from the fastball piece: "If you've been lurking the Gerbil Sports discord, you may or may not already be privy to the secret knowledge of a pitcher named Kyle Leahy. This guy was a "mediocre" reliever for the Cardinals in 2025 and flies under the radar for most fantasy managers after posting a 3.07 ERA and 1.23 WHIP in 88 innings of relief work. But guess what? The Cardinals have announced he will be joining their 2026 rotation - have I caught your interest? His fastball clocks in at a respectable 95.4 mph and boasts 16.6 inches of induced vertical break, giving it really nice ride for a guy throwing at a 46 degree arm slot. The riding action is here in combination with good velocity, so it makes sense that Leahy outperformed his expected numbers by a good margin. Basically, the stuff is good:

Leahy's fangraphs projections show excellent marks across the board with a 102 Stuff+, 101 Location+, and 105 Pitching+. So although the xERA and xBA fell way below his actual production, it looks like having good stuff got him the outcomes he need to post an awesome 86th percentile Pitching Run Value. And of course, we can't just look at the fastball velocity - here at Gerbil Sports, we very much take perceived velocity seriously, and well, check out Leahy's 96th percentile extension. Now we're talking about a 100 mph perceived velocity. And standing 6'5? Leahy compares to Tyler Glasnow more than he does lesser pitchers in the league.The question is - will Leahy still have the stuff now that he's out of the bullpen and can't empty the tank over the course of one or two innings? That's something we'll have to keep an eye on, but because of the elite extension, 1 mph drop on fastball velocity wouldn't be a death sentence for Leahy's 4-seam viability. And yes, this is a fastball article, but I still want to show you the run values on his other pitches if that's cool:

All but one of Leahy's pitches accumulated positive run value, and the curveball is of particular note coming in hot with a .195 xBA and 35% whiff rate. A perfect wipeout pitch for a good 4-seam. Now, check out some Leahy film for yourself, and you be the judge. Leahy is a perfect high upside, buy low candidate, and at age 28, he may very well be a part of your dynasty rotation for years to come! The 4-seam isn't quite as electric as some others we'll look at as we compile this list, but I promise you, it's pretty good.

Randy Vasquez, SP, C+ (Super Budget)

An enormous jump in 4-seam velocity has highlighted an absurdly good Spring Training for Vasquez, who's seemingly jumped from afterthought to draft steal. For a guy who's 4-seam has jumped from 93 mph to 95.7 mph (and is is topping out at 97.4), 200th pitcher off the board seems like a bargain. And it's not just the velocity jump - Randy has a .188 BA against through 54 plate appearances. Vasquez' 4-seam was already pretty damned good in 2025, where it had a .220 BA and .326 SLG against with an accumulated 7 run value. Now that it's even better and we're seeing a pretty notable usage increase - 39.1% vs 21% in 2025 - this could be one of the more unexpected breakouts of the 2026 campaign. But it's not just velocity that a fastball makes - this pitch is currently rocking 15 inches of iVB out of a 3/4 slot, giving it some really nice ride in the zone. We've talked a lot about the 4-seam, but we can't sleep on the rest of the arsenal. Like the 4-seam, the sinker velocity is also up to 95 mph from 92 mph, and is currently being thrown on 13.4% usage in Spring. That brings the total fastball usage up to 52% vs 40% in 2025, so Vasquez is definitely feeling those pitches, and why wouldn't he be? He's dominating. This kind of velocity will only make the rest of the pitch mix that much more lethal and I expect the offspeed and breaking stuff to really play up as hitters are forced to sit on either fastball. TJ Stats also grades those pitches way more favorably with a 108 on the sweeper, 112 on the slider, 111 on the changeup, and 105 on the curveball. At Vasquez' current ADP, which may just be a waiver pickup in most leagues, you'd be a fool not to take a chance here.

Braxton Ashcraft, SP, B

Ashcraft has become one of the more mainstream "sleeper" picks in the fantasy space, but alas, I agree. Ashcraft has good stuff with fantastic pitch shape that plays well into what I look for - a diagonal tunneling effect and a complimentary pitch to the 4-seam (being the sinker and changeup). If you read my Pitching Prospect piece on Patreon, you'll see more of that pitch shape talk. Seriously, check it out, that shit took me over a month to write!

While I'm high on Ashcraft, so seems to be the rest of the world. His ADP grows less and less valuable, and you may even see people reaching. His current ADP is listed around 93 and I'd feel perfectly comfortable drafting him as the 80th pitcher off the board, but I'm sure many of you won't feel so comfortable reaching. He just feels way safer than guys ahead of him like Cantillo, Peterson, and Manaea. His Spring Training performance has been pretty lackluster, but I can recognize that he's been tinkering with his sinker on higher usage - I expect that dominant 4-seam to come more into play when games actually matter.

Cam Schlittler, SP, A+

Shchlitty is in contention for the best 4-seam fastball in the league, alongside guys like Jacob Misiorowski, Eury Perez, and Tarik Skubal. We're taking about a 112 Stuff+ grade with elite velocity and iVB, so good in 2025 that hitters bat .173 against it. The pitch accumulated 9 run value in only 700 pitches. To put that into perspective, Skubal's 4-seam accumulated 12 run value in 835 pitches. They're damned close in terms of value. Spring Training has been no different for Schlittler, who more or less seems to be damned near unhittable. Having pitched 23 plate appearances, he rocks a .182 BA against with a 43.5% strikeout rate and only a single walk. All of his pitches are grading out above an absurd 110 psStuff+ mark, led by a 139 psStuff+ sinker. He's also only throwing his 4-seam at 34.1% usage, as opposed to the 56% usage we saw last year for the Yankees.This means Schlittler is trying to become a more complete pitcher rather than rely solely on the 4-seam. So far, it's working. Consider him a top 20 pitcher going around pick 42 and reach accordingly.

Sandy Alcantara, SP, B+

Sandy's 2025 Fangraphs Stuff+ graded out at a 108 score, which was well above league average, even as he struggled to find any kind of success in terms of...you know...production. But his last two months were solid, with a 3.69 ERA in August and 3.71 in September/October. His Spring performance has been mixed - the 6.75 ERA ugly, but the two most recent outings have been solid, in which he tossed 3 innings of perfect ball against the Astros with 4Ks followed by 4 innings with 5 Ks and 2 runs against the Mets. Looking at the spring training data below, Sandy's statcast is looking way more...well...Sandy-esque. We're pretty accustomed to seeing flamin' hot bars for the former Cy Young winner, and the stuff is grading quite well! His two fastballs are coming in hot at 97 mph and have earned psStuff+ grades of 111 and 103. TJ Stats currently has each and every pitch with a grade over 100. None of this is surprising - his his 2025 fangraphs Stuff+ came in at a 108 grade as previously mentioned, even as he struggled. I think Sandy at his current 41 ADP is a good value and wouldn't hesitate to reach to make him the 35th SP off the board. I believe in a Sandy comeback now that he's two years removed from TJ.

Chris Paddack, SP, C (Super Budget)

I know it seems like I'm falling into the Chris Paddack trap yet again, BUT HEAR ME OUT! Paddack has come into spring training with a new arm slot, a brand new offering in a beautiful sweeper, and a revitalized 4-seam fastball. I was super keen on Paddack in 2025, and perhaps as a detriment to both myself and readers who trusted me and added him. Something about Paddack stood out to me on film, and whenever it was working for him, it was really working well. Paddack's 112 Location+ and 105 Pitching+ were testaments to what I observed, but ultimately the 92 Stuff+ proved his pitches were just too hittable. There was just no swing and miss to be found. I've been keeping an eye on Paddack in Spring Training and he looks like an entirely new pitcher. Nobody has managed to put up an earned run against him through 6 innings pitched and he has 6 Ks to boot. I'm telling you, this is a different Chris Paddack. The last time I checked the prospectsavant data, his 4-seam fastball had a really nice iVB and increased velocity out of a lower arm slot, and his new sweeper was providing a balance to his pitch mix that he didn't previously have. Hitters are whiffing on his offerings right now, and that's more than you could say about 2025 Paddack. Paddack isn't even being drafted in most leagues right now and is shaping up to be a really nice sleeper to stabilize a redraft rotation. I know it might be hard to trust me on this one, and that's okay, let's just keep an eye on it. Also, check this out :https://fishonfirst.com/forums/topic/69801-chris-paddack-using-secondary-pitches-to-early-success/He's been working on his spin rates, so perhaps we're seeing the fruits of his labor!

Luis Garcia, 2B, C+

High expected stats, a wide xwOBA vs wOBA differential (bad luck), and a strong statcast. Garcia has an above average hit tool but swing decisions have been lacking. He's tested highly in several batted ball data sets, including blasts and bat speed/ squared-up contact, which you already know I love. Go check out some of those lists if you want more details on Garcia's metrics. His 67th percentile whiff rate in conjunction with a 63rd percentile hard-hit rate is immense, and if these even improve a little, his swing decisions might not end up mattering. Garcia has multiple paths to improvement:

A. Going to increase his power and improve

B. Going to increase his swing decisions and improve

C. Improve both and become an elite hitter over the course of one off-season

Garcia is currently the #18 2B by ADP, but he has the hit tool potential to jump to #8. Just keep that in mind.

TJ Rumfield, 1B, C+ (Super Budget)

He's displayed excellent bat-to-ball skills and discipline at AAA over the last few years, but the power has been average to slightly-above-average. Rumfield's lack of muscle on his lanky 6'5 frame has always been the #1 reason he hasn't been able to take advantage of his excellent Pull AIR %, but things have changed going into 2026. He's reached a top EV of 113 mph in Spring Training, whereas his top EV of 2025 was 110.7 mph. This slight increase in power, and his home park of Coors, should make Rumfield a threat to be a super breakout in 2026. I'm predicting something along the lines of a .260 BA, .340 OBP, with 20 HRs and a .780 OPS in a full-time role. He's a very well-balanced hitter and has all of the potential to become a top 15 1B.

Rumfield will almost certainly go un-drafted, so if you feel extremely confident in him, take a guy like Aranda late and keep Rumfield around as utility, or just keep an eye on him and be ready to add off waivers. In my opinion, there's way too much talent at 1B to go in early on an elite 1B, and Rumfield might wind up becoming a solid utility player in deeper leagues.

Matt McLain, 2B, A (Great Value)

It's looking like Matt McLain is back to full strength after a 2024 shoulder injury and subsequent surgery sapped him of his power in 2025. And guess what? A lot of people won't know the power is back, so snag him at a solid ADP and enjoy the benefits. It's hard to imagine Mclain isn't closer to his stellar 2023 rookie self than the post-injury 2025 guy, so I'm going to project 20/25 with a .340 OBP and .780 OPS. His Spring EV's have been fantastic and amongst the highest on the Reds, with a max exit velocity of 113 mph.

Honestly, I feel like I'm actually being conservative by projecting a bit under his 2023 marks. The power is back with this one, and I think there's a world where he finishes closer to Jazz Chisholm than anyone might expect. He's currently the 13th 2B by ADP - fuck that. Snag him around 10th, and enjoy the top 5 production.

Wyatt Langford, OF

It seems like the Langford hype has died down after two consecutive sub .800 OPS seasons, but trust me, 2026 is going to be the year it all comes together. He's just now entering his mid 20's and has flashed all of the tools to become a 30/30, .850+ OPS player. This should be Langford's lowest ADP season since his debut, and most likely to be his most productive season on the field. He's currently going as the #13 OF by ADP, I personally have him at #8. Try to capitalize on that. I get that this isn't really a "sleeper" by any stretch of the imagination, but we're also looking for good value here. If you can snag Langford as the 13th OF off the board and get top 8 value, or even top 10 really, then I consider than an enormous success. His Spring training inspires confidence with a .483 BA and 4 dingers.

Sal Stewart, 1B (Super Value)

Imagine you're playing a fantasy baseball RPG, and you've turned down 1B quest reward after 1B quest reward in favor of other loot. You're lacking a 1B, but you're stacked at every other position. Then, for your valiant efforts, you've now unlocked an Elden Ring-esque secret - Sal Stewart - praise the sun! Sal is currently the 21st 1B off the board on average and seems to be a completely and totally under-the-radar player in redraft circles. Grab him...reach for him - he's yours - unless you wish for him not to be. But why would you do such a thing, O' reader mine?

There's just too much potential value here late in drafts to ignore, whether you've already taken one of our other favorite first basemen or not. I think it comes as no surprise to readers that I adore the fuck out of Sal Stewart and find his hit tool to be absolutely intoxicating. Stewart boasts plus power alongside some extremely respectable contact rates and launch angles. It's rare to see a guy with 80th percentile power metrics across the board also manage to come out with a 50th percentile whiff and 50th percentile sweet-spot. Did I mention he also has an excellent bat speed to squared-up ratio at 50th/70th?

I just have a feeling that reaching for Sal Stewart as 1B #11-15 is going to be a season-defining move for whoever dares muster the bravery to do so. The Reds lineup with a revitalized Matt McLain is about to be fucking disgusting and Sal Stewart is going to drive in 100 RBIs in only his second season ;)

Praise the Sal.

Andrew Vaughn, 1B (Good Value, Budget) Vaughn's Spring Training metrics have been as strong as you'd expect after his awesome 2025 Brewers campaign, and as it stands, he's the #25 1B off the board. For a guy with this kind of hit tool, he's an absolute steal. And yet another reason to wait on drafting a 1B rather than take an elite guy like Ben Rice.It's unfortunate that I'm making a compelling case against one of my favorite players, but I'm here to help. Vaughn has .800+ OPS and solid counting stats written all over him, much like Sal Stewart, and would be a fanatic utility option with his dual position eligibility.

Marcelo Mayer, 2B/3B

As 2B #34, it's hard to not appreciate the value on one of the most toolsy infielders in the game. There's two things Mayer showed in his underwhelming 2025 debut: Good bat speed, a good launch angle, and a good hard-hit rate. Not awesome, not amazing...just good. That's okay for an age 23 rookie - that's a solid foundation to build on. And especially with a gimpy wrist.

The 6'3 Mayer is once again hitting balls hard, this time in Spring Training, and it's looking like the wrist surgery took well. This is good news for savvy redraft managers - had Marcelo been fully healthy and absolutely crushed his debut, you can be sure he'd be a top 15 2B off the board. Mayer's excellent hit tool and above-average plate discipline in what's looking like a stacked Red Sox lineup stands to have him burst into the top 10-15 in 2025, especially with how scarce 2B is. We've gotta thank Caleb Durbin for pushing him out of 3B.

Colson Montgomery, SS

Montgomery has done himself zero favors this spring as he's hit for a .231 BA with three HRs to his name. And that's cool, because we want Colson at all costs - a lower ADP is a good thing. As the #22 SS off the board, there may not be a better value to be had at any other position. Montgomery boasts 97th percentile bat speed with excellent velocity and launch angles, thus his absurd 21 HRs in only 284 plate appearances - good for a .529 SLG. This kind of pop is rare at SS, and I'm actually pretty high on the White Sox lineup going into 2026 (though maybe I'm delusional?) Colson reminds me a lot of Troy Tulowitzki, perhaps my favorite fantasy SS of all-time, and I expect him to continue mashing baseballs and producing run value. Do I think he'll manage another .529 SLG? Probably not. But I could see 20-25 HRs with a .480 SLG and .800 OPS as a pretty safe bet. As a late round pick, that would be phenomenal value.
