2026 Fantasy Baseball Bold Forecasts: 12 Players to Watch
Rotoballer’s Scott Engel lays out 12 bold fantasy baseball predictions for 2026 across catcher, first, second, third, shortstop, outfield, starting pitcher and closer roles. Highlights include Iván Herrera and Dillon Dingler as potential top catching contributors, Spencer Torkelson approaching a 40-home-run season, Jazz Chisholm Jr.’s regression with Ketel Marte rising in value, Matt Shaw and Kevin McGonigle showing breakout potential, Daylen Lile and Carson Benge emerging as fantasy regulars, and a group of pitchers led by Eury Perez, Nolan McLean and Cam Schlittler delivering strong fantasy-worthy numbers. Engel mixes advanced stats with scouting insight and spring performance, acknowledging that while not every bold pick hits, each serves as a high-upside move for drafts and season-long play.
