Happy Monday, Razzball faithful! I’m BACK for another session of Preseason Starting Pitchers that will eventually turn into the Top 100 Starting Pitchers List (I promise!). For this week, I was unsure as to whether or not I’d be able to roll out my Top 10 for 2026. As I said before, I don’t want […]

“Sleepers” is one of fantasy sports’ oldest and best terms, with roots in early-20th-century boxing and horse racing. It’s always been used to describe competitors with hidden upside who surface when it matters most. Last week, our hitter profiles focused on a group of deep sleepers going after pick 325 in early drafts representing the types of players you can stash late while filling out the back end of your roster. This week, we move up the food chain. These hitters will be discussed in draft rooms as we head toward Opening Day, but their prices still lag behind their potential outcomes. The goal here is simple: identify the best mid-round values among players who may be on the verge of a meaningful jump. We’re digging into early ADP data to find hitters whose underlying profiles suggest there’s more coming in 2026 than the market is currently pricing in.

51. Astros RHP Tatsuya Imai | 27 | NPB | 2026

Imai has been dominant in Japan since 2022 when he was 24 years old with a 2.04 ERA and 1.11 WHIP. 2025 was his best season yet. He recorded a 1.92 ERA and 0.89 WHIP, representing a big leap forward in command. His walk rate of 2.5 per nine innings was a full walk better than his previous career-best mark of 3.6. Imai generates these results on the back of a fastball-slider combination against righties with a splitter against lefties. Houston’s still having a lot of success with pitchers, and I’m betting that continues with Imai. You can move him up this list in deeper leagues or win-now windows.

Failure is a part of fantasy, and no matter how much analysis or knowledge we put into our draft, players are going to underperform what we thought they would. When this happens, we then must decide if the player is worth continuing to play or even roster; maybe we need to cut our losses while we can and find replacements. But underperformance can, and often is, a temporary blip, not something that must be immediately reacted to.

As they say in conductor school, “Hey, let’s keep this train going!” Or, “Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’, is what we doing,” as they say in Snoop Dogg’s hooptie. Here’s the top 60 outfielders, which I bet you could’ve guessed from the title, unless you’re in that hooptie. The 2026 fantasy baseball rankings are there. Subscriptions are up and running […]
