Welcome back to my positional rankings. I hope everyone had an outstanding week.

This week is the Top 50 Dynasty Right Fielders for 2026 – the final positional rankings as we have reached the end of the positions. OK, that is not entirely true as I never had a breakdown of designated hitters, but that has been taken care of lower down in the column.

As a whole, I really like this position group as it has a lot of talent and depth. This past season, right fielders slashed .242/.315/.415 in 2025, ranking tied for 5th, 4th and 2nd in those three categories when compared to the other positions. The group also ranked 2nd in OPS and wRC+. Basically, if you are looking for hitters, this is a group where you can find a lot of them. And overall, this is a pretty young group of players.

Here is the age breakdown of this position:

  • 35+: 1
  • 30-34: 11
  • 25-29: 27
  • 20-24: 11

The talent level in this group is deep. Normally when you get to the Tier 3 players they are there for depth purposes or filling a UTL slot. But the right fielders in Tier 3 could easily be Tier 2 players and, in the future, Tier 1 players. They all have a lot of talent, it is just very unproven right now.

Just Missing The Cut

  • Heriberto Hernandez: I actually like Hernandez a lot. He  joined the Marlins at the end of May and become a solid contributor to the team, hitting 10 homers and driving in 45 runs in 87 games while slashing .266/.347/.438. The power is real as Hernandez hit 24 homers in 2022 and 23 bombs in 2024 while in the Rays’ system and he has a career .498 SLG in the minors and he makes hard, consistent contact. While he played 13 games in right field (nine starts), I think his playing time moving forward will be at DH as well as some time in left field.
  • Jake Mangum: Mangum is not a spring chicken as he is 30 years old. But he has speed (27 steals) and is decent at the plate (.296/.333/.368). Speed is his only real tool, so he ends up on the outside looking in.

The Designated Hitters

There are two players who I have not talked about in any other of my position rankings because they truly don’t play a position in the field – Shohei Ohtani and Marcell Ozuna. Let’s talk about Ozuna first.

He played in 145 last year, all at DH or as a pinch hitter. So in fantasy, he is a UTL and UTL only. For some, that is a minus, especially when he is having a down year. After back-to-back outstanding seasons, Ozuna struggled in 2025 to the tune of 21 homers and 68 RBI with a .232/.355/.400 slash line. That is a far cry from what he did in 2023 and 2024, when he averaged 40 homers and 102 RBI in 153 games with a .289/.364/.552 slash line. The down year could be a bump in the road as Ozuna has had seasons like this before. Or it could be a sign that at age 35, Father Time is catching up to him. I’m leaning more toward Father Time is catching up to him, and if he was ranked as a right fielder, he would be ranked right next to George Springer.

Now, when it comes to Ohtani, the last time he played in the field as in 2021, when he appeared in six games in right field and one in left. If I was ranking him as a right fielder, he would be No. 1 in my rankings. Shocking news, right? All he has done is win three straight MVP awards and four in the last five years, with the only blemish being a second-place finish in 2022.

His 2025 numbers are just silly – 55 home runs, 102 RBI, 20 steals and a .282/.392/.622 slash line for a 1.014 OPS and a 179 OPS+. Below is his average season season since 2022:

  • R: 115
  • HR: 47
  • RBI: 104
  • SB: 27
  • AVG: .285
  • OBP: .384
  • SLG: .606

Those are ridiculous numbers over four seasons. Just amazing, and why I stop what I am doing and watch him bat when he comes to plate.

Looking For A Home

JJ Bleday was once a top prospect who the Athletics targeted when they traded A.J. Puk to Miami for him in 2023. Bleday is now a free agent, but if he lands with the right team, he could be a useful depth outfielder as he can play all three outfield spots. In the one full season Bleday has had, he hit 20 homers and drove in 60 runs in 159 games in 2024. But outside of that season he has played in 65, 82 and 98 games and he has hit over .200 twice – .243 in 2024 and .212 this season.

From RF to DH

The days of Nick Castellanos being a right fielder are pretty much over. He may still get enough starts or appearances in right field next season, but his future is at DH. If you are fine with that, and are needing a bat to plug a hole for a year or two, then Castellanos still has some value as he will hit close to 20 homers and drive in 70 runs, give or take.

Is 2026 The Year?

If Will Benson was an everyday player, he would be ranked a lot higher. But for the majority of his career, he has been a spot starter. His 162-game average is 17 home runs, 54 RBI and 17 steals and he can play all three outfield positions. One reason for Benson not being able to nail down a starting role is the fact he has a career 33.3% strikeout rate, though this past season it was 26.5%. When Benson made contact this season, his Average EV was 92.4 mph and his Hard Hit% was 53.8%. There is talent there, and if Benson can consistently tap into it, he would be a solid player to roster.

Coming Out Of Nowhere

Dominic Canzone had a surprisingly good season for the Mariners this year, slashing .300/.358/.481 with 11 homers and 32 RBI in 82 games. Those numbers dwarf his previous two seasons with Arizona and then Seattle when he combined to slash .208/.265/.390 with 14 homers and 38 RBI in 126 games. Canzone has decent power, and that alone gives him some value. If he can approach the same slash line he had this year going forward, then that makes him even more valuable. Will he do that? I don’t think so, but the power should remain.

Solid, Not Spectacular

Jesus Sanchez can play all three outfield spots and is remarkably consistent as he has hit between 14 and 18 homers each season since 2021. He also has some speed as he has stolen 16 and 13 bases the last two seasons. But he has a career slash line of .239/.307/.420 and fell into a hole after the Astros acquired him at the trade deadline, slashing .199/.269/.342 with four homers and 12 RBI in his 48 games with Houston. He is under team control, but his role with the Astros is cloudy.

Rebound Candidate

From 2021 to 2023, Adolis Garcia was one of the best hitting right fielders in the game, averaging 23 homers, 99 RBI and 17 steals per season with a .246/.305/.472 slash line. But those numbers fell to 25-85-5 .224/.284/.400 in 2024 and 19-75-13 .227/.271/.394 this past year. The Rangers decided to move on from Garcia as they non-tendered him, and the Phillies just signed him to a one-year deal, believing there is still some production left in his bat.

A Solid Bat

Ramon Laureano, who appeared in the center field rankings, is much better at the plate than he is given credit for. His career slash line is a solid .253/.323/.489 and this past season Laureano hit 24 homers and drove in 76 runs with Baltimore and then San Diego. For a variety of reason, Laureano has never played in more than 123 games until this past season, when he appeared in 132 games. But his 162-game average is 23 homers, 72 RBI and 16 steals. If he appears in another 130 games or so, I expect him to match his 2025 output.

Is A Repeat Season Possible?

Mickey Moniak had a breakout season for the Rockies, setting career highs in runs scored (62), home runs (24), RBI (68) and steals (9) while slashing .270/.306/.518. Playing half his games at Coors Field was a benefit to Moniak as he slashed .303/.348/.598 with 15 homers and 46 RBI in 71 games. On the road he slashed .230/.255/.425 with nine homers and 22 RBI in 64 games. Overall, it is a 22 homer, 56 RBI season with 15 steals. When you balance out what he does at home and on the road, you will get a pretty solid season from a player entering his prime.

A Quick Note:

The players ranked from No. 27 through No. 22 are all players who can have big breakout seasons and thus easily be ranked much higher than where they are now. You can put them in nearly any order you like as they all basically have the same skill level but are not proven enough for me to immediately move them up the rankings. With that said, let’s carry on.

A Real Power Surge?

Sal Frelick went from two home runs in 145 games in 2024 to 12 dingers this season in 142 games. That is a pretty nice jump. But is the power going to increase or was it a mirage? Based on numbers, I don’t expect Frelick to make another jump like he did this past season. His xSLG, Avg. EV, Barrel%, Hard Hit%, Launch Angle Sweet Spot% and Bad Speed all ranked in the 12th percentile or lower this past season. In 2024, he ranked in the 10th percentile or lower in all of those categories. The only thing he does really well and square up the ball (92nd percentile in 2024, 84th percentile in 2025) and he doesn’t strike out. Frelick has speed, and maybe he will add a few more homers, having me think he is around a 15 homer, 20 steal player. That isn’t a bad player.

Not Giving Up

I am not giving up on Dylan Crews. Maybe it is because I have a bias in that I own in him in several leagues. But I also firmly believe he will hit his stride soon in the majors. His major league career has not started very well as he has a career slash line of .211/.282/.352 with 29 steals, 13 homers and 35 RBI in 85 games. Crews has great speed and he has power, but he has to tweak his swing to take advantage of that power as his career ground ball rate is 52%. It is hard to drive the ball into the gaps or over the fence when you are pounding the ball into the ground. I am not expecting him to have a .689 SLG like he had during his career at LSU, but if he can just match his minor league career numbers (.273/.348/.452) then he would be a 20-20 player for the Nationals.

The Tools Are There

Jac Caglianone had a horrible time with the Royals this past season. In 62 games, he slashed .157/.237/.295 with a 27% Whiff% and 22% strikeout rate. But there is some good news. His 12% Barrel% was nearly five points higher than the MLB average and his xBA and xSLG were .241/.418 and the strikeout rate is league average. He did hit seven homers in his 62 games, which equates to 18 in 162 games. Caglianone has all the tools to become a top right fielder, he just has to find those tools.

A Tale Of Two Halves

Which version of Cam Smith is the real version? The Houston right fielder was having a great rookie season through his first 82 games as he had a .277/.347/.418 slash line with seven home runs, 39 RBI and four steals. Project that out for a full season and he is a 14-78-8 player as a rookie. But then came the second half. Over his final 52 games (41 of which were starts as he was platooned down the stretch) he slashed .154/.247/.242 with two homers, 12 RBI and four steals. I think the first half version of Smith is the real player we will see going forward. He played only 32 games of minor league ball, with those coming after his final season at Florida State. With a year of experience under this belt, he will be able to make adjustments quicker and likely understand the rigors of a 162 game schedule.

A Beaver With Skills

I am a big fan of Dylan Beavers. I know his average (.227) wasn’t great during his 35 game stint with the Orioles, but he had a 19% walk rate to give him a .375 OBP while also coming in with a .400 SLG. I expect his 27% strikeout rate to drop a bit, which will help that slash line and he has shown good power and speed in the minors. At Triple-A Norfolk he had 18 homers and 23 RBI in 94 games. He can easily be a 20-20 player or better.

A Future DH

George Springer is likely headed to be primarily a DH with the Blue Jays, especially if Addison Barger remains in right field. But Springer will likely get enough starts in right to remain there or, at worst, move to left and at least retain outfield eligibility. At the plate, Springer returned to his former glory years in 2025 after three years of decline. In 140 games, he hit 32 homers with 84 RBI and 18 steals while slashing .309/.399/.560. Those are more like the numbers he had when he played for Houston and his first year with the Blue Jays and not from 2022-2024 when he saw his SLG decline from .472 to .405 to 371.

The Anomalies

Teoscar Hernandez and Wilyer Abreu are the odd ducks in this group as they are the only players who exclusively played right field.

Hernandez has been a consistent force at the plate since 2019. Since that season (excluding 2020) he has hit at least 25 homers and driven in 65 runs and twice has stolen 12 bases.  Since 2021, his average year is 28 homers and 95 RBI with eight steals and a .268/.319/.480 slash line. He struggled a bit at the plate this past season, posting a .247/.284/.454 slash line, but he still had 25 home runs and 89 RBI.

Abreu was limited to 115 games this past season, yet he still had career highs in homers (22) and RBI (69) while slashing .247/.317/.469. His 162-game average is 22 dingers and 83 RBI with a .256/.326/.465 slash line. I think there is a bit more power in Abreu’s game and can see him reaching 25-85 in homers and RBI.

Up-and-Coming Right Fielder

I ranked Noelvi Marte 12th in my third base rankings, but he comes in at No. 18 here as there is more depth in right field, which should be his future home with the overpriced Ke’Bryan Hayes at third. In the 90 games he appeared in this year, Marte was good, hitting 14 homers, driving in 51 runs and stealing 12 bases. Over 162 games, that equates to 24 homers, 89 RBI and 17 steals. That is basically in line with his career 162-game average of 18-71-21.

I am holding off on pushing him higher as he has yet to play a full season as the 90 games he played this year were a career high. I think he can be a 20-20 player, with the RBI dependent on where he hits in the lineup. But am I sure of him doing it? Not yet.

The Repeat Customers

Cody Bellinger, Lawrence Butler, Kerry Carpenter, Addison Barger, Seiya Suzuki and Jo Adell have all appeared in previous rankings.

Here are some quick summaries of what I wrote:

Bellinger, Butler and Carpenter

Cody Bellinger appeared in my left field rankings, coming in at No. 8, and as a center fielder in which he was ranked 12th. Over the last three years he is averaging 85 runs scored, 24 home runs, 91 RBI and 14 steals with a .281/.338/.477 slash line and 125 OPS+. Bellinger is a perfect fit for Yankee Stadium as he is coming off a 29 homer, 98 RBI season in his first year in pinstripes and he should continue to put up those kind of numbers for several more years, especially if he stays in New York.

Ranked as my 7th-best center fielder, Lawrence Butler slashed .234/.306/.404 with 21 homers, 63 RBI and 22 steals in 152 games. That comes on the heals of 2024, when he had 22 homers, 57 RBI and 18 steals with a .262/.317/.490 slash line in 125 games. Butler’s career Average EV of 90.2 mph is nearly 2 mph better than the MLB average and his Hard Hit% of 44.9 is five points better than the MLB average.

Kerry Carpenter doesn’t do anything great, and that may be due to the fact that he can’t play in more than 130 games. Over the last three seasons, he has played in 118, 87 and 130 games and hit 20, 18, and 26 homers. His 162 game average is 31 dingers and 85 RBI with a .268/.322/.507 slash line. A career SLG over .500 is nothing to sneeze at. Now if he could just play in 150 games, he’d be a strong candidate to knock on the door of Tier 1.

Barger, Suzuki and Adell

Addison Barger has never been a top 100 prospect and at 26 is a tad old to have completed his first full season in the majors. But the wait for Barger to make his mark with the Blue Jays was worth it as he hit 21 homers and drove in 74 runs in 135 games. I like him more as a third baseman and he started more games at third this season than in right field. No matter where he plays, Barger should produce, at least if his Statcast numbers are to be believed. He ranked in the 91st and 93rd percentile in Hard Hit% and Bat Speed and his Average EV ranked in the 86th percentile.

Seiya Suzuki is under the radar when it comes to his production. A player who slots in as a right fielder, left fielder and DH, he simply provides consistent production. After an injury limited him to 111 games in 2022, Suzuki’s average season the last three years is 24 homers, 83 RBI, 75 runs scored, nine steals and a .270/.349/.482 slash line over 140 games. While he will be 31 next season, he can still hit the ball.

His 16.6 Barrel% ranked in the 95th percentile and 48.7% Hard Hit% ranked in the 82nd percentile. He has also been able to tweak his swing over the last three years, leading his Launch Angle Sweet Spot% to go from the 72nd percentile in 2023 to the 94th percentile this past season and seeing his home run total jump from 20 to 32. Suzuki may transition more into a DH as he appeared in that spot 102 times in 2025, but he should get enough playing time in the both left and right field to give him that added value.

Jo Adell has always had a lot of talent, but tapping into that talent on a consistent basis was a challenge for him until he broke out in 2025. From 2020 until 2023, Adell averaged 46 games per season with five homers, 127 RBI, two steals and a .214/.259/.366 slash line. Given a chance to play nearly every day in 2024, Adell hit 20 bombs, drove in 62 runs and stole 15 bases. But he also slashed .207/.208/.402.

But Adell finally pieced it all together this past season. His slash line wasn’t great (.236/.293/.485), but it was a career best line. He also added 37 dingers and 98 RBI, though his steals dropped to five in 152 games. Adell strikes out too much and also doesn’t walk much, so that is the downside to his game. He always hit for power in the minors as he had a .550 SLG in 411 minor league games, and at 26 (but will be 27 for most of next season), he is just entering his prime. It took him a while to reach his potential, but I think more 30 homer, 90 RBI seasons is very reachable for the next several years.

The “Outfielders” Group

Andy Pages, Jackson Chourio, Kyle Stowers and Roman Anthony all appeared in my previous rankings covering the left fielders and center fielders.

Pages just completed his second season. Playing all three outfield positions for the Dodgers, Pages hit 27 homers, drove in 86 runs and stole 14 bases while slashing .272/.313/.461. I think what we saw from him this season is his floor. That is a pretty good floor.

Chourio started the majority of his games in center field, but he also started 27 games (and appeared in 40) in left field and started another 15 (with 20 overall appearances) in right field. After finishing third in the 2024 ROY voting thanks to a .275/.327/.464 slash line with 21 homers, 79 RBI and 22 steals, Chourio basically duplicated that season again in 2025, slashing .270/.308/.463 with 21 homers, 78 RBI and 21 steals, though in 17 fewer games. He should only get better.

This is what I wrote about Stowers previously: Given a chance to play every day in Miami before an injury sidelined him for half of September, Stowers hit 25 homers and drive in 73 runs in 117 games while slashing .288/.368/.544. This past season, his Statcast numbers were:

  • xwOBA: 94th Percentile
  • xSLG: 95th Percentile
  • Barrel%: 98th Percentile
  • Hard Hit%: 94th Percenile
  • LA Sweet Spot%: 83rd Percentile
  • Bat Speed: 88th Percentile

His career Average EV is 90.8 mph, and his career Hard-Hit% is 50.6%. When he hits the ball, he hits it hard.

Living Up To The Hype

There are tons of top prospects who generate a lot of buzz when they are called up but don’t immediately live up to the hype. Just look at Jac Caglianone or Kristian Campbell. But that was not the case for Roman Anthony. One of the top prospects in baseball when the Red Sox recalled him from the minors, Anthony slashed .292/.396/.463 with eight homers, 32 RBI and four steals in 71 games. To save you the math, that would be 18 homers, 73 RBI and nine steals over 162 games.

Anthony had an Average EV of 94.5 mph last year and a 60.7% Hard Hit%. If we would have gotten more at-bats, he would have qualified among the league leaders in AEV, Barrel%, Hard Hit%, Bat Speed, Chase% and BB%. What is interesting is while he had only a 20% chase rate, he had a 29.8% whiff rate and 27.7% strikeout rate. So if/when Anthony starts to make more contact, his numbers will be even better. He also had a 50.6% ground ball rate. If he lowers that and increases his 23% fly ball rate to just league average, the SLG will easily close in or surpass .500.

The only reason he sits at No. 7 is because he has played half of a season. The six players ranked ahead of him are proven players who I basically know what they are going to produce year in and year out.

Yes, He Is Injury Prone…

The elephant in the room when it comes to Ronald Acuna Jr. is the fact that injuries have not been kind to him. He suffered a torn ACL in his right knee in 2021 and then he tore the ACL in his left knee in 2024. He has appeared in more than 150 games only twice, in 2019 and 2023. Otherwise the highest amount of games he has played in 119 in 2022. When Acuna plays a full season, he puts up fantastic numbers. In 2019 he scored 127 runs, hit 41 dingers, drive in 101 runs and stole 37 bases. In 2023 he scored 149 runs, hit 41 homes, had 106 RBI and stole 73 bases.

Acuna returned to the field in May of this year and in 95 games he hit 21 homers and had 42 steals to go with nine steals and a .290/.417/.518 slash line. His 2025 season wasn’t a smooth ride as he slumped badly in July and August, but he came back to life in September when he slashed .294/.429/.518 with six home runs, 11 RBI and three steals in 24 games. If you want to ding Acuna for being injury prone, I’m not going to stop you. But when he is healthy, he is one of the best all-around talents in the game.

The Slugging Padre

When the 2026 season starts, it will be the beginning of Fernando Tatis Jr.’s eighth MLB season, if you count 2022 when he did not play due to injury and PED suspension. So Tatis is a seasoned veteran, yet he is only going to be 27 years old next season. The 2025 campaign was a typical season for Tatis as he slashed .268/.368/.446 with 25 homers, 71 RBI and 32 steals.

Since 2021, the average Tatis season has been 35 homers, 91 RBI and 30 steals with a .270/.349/.494 slash line. There are some right fielders who will hit more homers or some will drive in more runs while others may have more steals. But you may need three players to do what Tatis does by himself.

The Prized Free Agent

Kyle Tucker is very similar to Tatis in that he can do just about everything on the field. His 162-game average is 31 homers, 103 RBI and 25 steals with a .273/.358/.507 slash line. His average OPS+ is 140 and his career OPS is .865. From 2021-2023, he averaged 30 bombs, 104 RBI and 23 steals with a .278/.353/.517 slash line and in 2024 he was on his way to a monster season before being derailed by a foul ball off his right shine that turned out to be a fracture. In the 78 games he did play, he smashed 23 home runs, had 49 RBI and stole 11 bags with a .289/.408/.585 slash line.

An injury to his hand suffered while sliding into a bag this season hampered his production, but when healthy Tucker puts up fantastic numbers.

The Veteran

It’s hard to justify ranking Aaron Judge as the third best right fielder other than the reason is because he is 33 years old and will play most of the 2026 season as a 34 year old. At some point, age will catch up to him, so here he sits at No. 3. Otherwise, if you want a player who can bash the ball and produce an eye-popping slash line, you can start with Judge. His 162-game average – AVERAGE – is 52 homers and 117 RBI with a .294/.457/.688 slash line. Since 2021 he has finished 4th, 1st, 15th, 1st and 1st in the MVP voting.

Over the last four years his average season is 59 home runs, 131 RBI and a .311/.439/.677 slash line with an OPS+ of 209. About the only thing Judge doesn’t do is steal a lot of bases. OK, I’ll just have to settle for the massive amount of homers and RBI.

Best Snake In The Desert

Corbin Carroll comes in at No. 2 because while he has been an outstanding player the last three years, I still think there is another level to his game that he hasn’t reached. But what he has done so far is pretty good. Since his rookie season in 2023, Carroll’s 162-game average is 28 homers, 83 RBI and 43 steals with a .258/.341/.491 slash line. In two of the last three years he has finished in the top 5 in MVP voting and he just turned 25 in August.

This past season he ranked in the 87th percentile or higher in Hard Hit%, Barrel%, Avg. EV, xSLG and xwOBA. He was a bit inconsistent last season, but by the end of the year he is going to put up great numbers and make you happy that he is on your team.

Simply One Of The Best

Juan Soto hasn’t entered his prime yet, but when it comes to hitting, he is one of the best in baseball. It is not so much that he has a great batting average, because for his career he is a .282 hitter. But in most fantasy leagues today, OBP is the stat that is used and not AVG, and when it comes to getting on base, Soto is a master at that. His career OBP is .417 and he has led the league in OBP three times during his career.

But Soto does more than just get on base at a 42% clip. He also hits for power and drives in runs. Over the last three seasons he has averaged 40 home runs, 108 RBI and 19 steals with a .275/.408/.538 slash line while finishing 6th, 3rd and 3rd in the MVP voting. And this past season he unleashed his speed by stealing 38 bases, blowing away his career high of 12. Will he steal 38 bases again? Maybe. Do I care if he does? Not really, especially if continues to hit 40 homers and drive in 100 runs each season.

Thank You

Thanks for reading as this is the end of the 2026 rankings by position series. But don’t fret, my friends, this is not the end of my rankings.

I will be taking the next week off for vacation, but then I will return and kick off the Top 400 Dynasty Rankings as 2026 begins! The first installment will be players ranked from 400 to 301, then players 300-201. After that, the ranking will be paired down to groups of 25 players each week. Until then, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

The good ones come quick. What you saw last year was a true breakout. A 22 year old who hit at every level and took a couple months to figure out big league pitching and you think he is worse than wencel perez? These are dynasty rankings, correct? Youre judging him on past numbers when you really should realize at his age he was figuring it out and now he has arrived. Sometimes throwing around numbers and percentages doesnt tell the whole story. I owned him and wathed it for myself. On a team with wood and abrams he was the best hitter there. Anyways i was a bit cranky today so I probably came off a bit rude. Have a good holiday and keep up the good work.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you as well.

I look forward to your posts, well done.

I’ve been playing fantasy BB for many years and this year for redraft leagues depending on draft slot will be very difficult as far as strategy goes.
In 5 OF leagues a guy should grab 2-3 top players pretty quick as it dries up fast but while doing that you have to get a top 1B and 3B or they are gone. Assuming you want a top SS and a #1 SP for your staff somewhere it won’t happen. Seems a couple positions are punts. Then you know some guys will draft a top catcher too.
I’m thinking of getting a couple closers before SP’s at this point and get the bats while I can……What are you thoughts on this strategy and your own plan of attack?

Yeah, I play in Wins and K’s. Knowing that SP’s don’t get saves and wins are unpredictable that only leaves 3 cats, WHIP, ERA and K’s.
Like you pointed out get the 5 cat guys while you can instead of 3 cats.

Thank you for your response.
