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 […]

26. Marlins LHP Robby Snelling | 22 | AAA | 2026

In 11 Triple-A starts this season, Snelling recorded a 1.27 ERA and 0.99 WHIP with 81 strikeouts and 17 walks in 63.2 innings. He might’ve been a major leaguer a month ago if Miami had any incentive to promote him. Should open next season in the rotation unless he gets edged out for a month or so by bargain signings.

In an incredible turn of events, I’ve done all the infield 2026 fantasy baseball rankings. Less incredible, you’ve read them. It’s like that time your favorite team won because they played better than that other team but you convinced yourself they won because you cheered loudly.
