First, a bit of trivia, Travis Bazzana is from Australia. That’s not the trivia. Nope! It gets better! In Australia, you might be aware of this, but everything is done by boomerang. Their GrubHub, their mail, their car valets, everything. You attach a boomerang to the item and send it away from you, then eventually […]

As mentioned in the Nolan McLean rookie outlook, he is better than Jonah Tong. Eat a D, Tong! Haha, got his ass. [intern whispers] Oh, I’m hearing Jonah Tong is good too. Well, yeah, dur! That’s why we’re here! So, Itch wrote up his top 10 Mets prospects and there he said, “Tong’s four-seam fastball […]

1. 1B Bryce Eldridge | 21 | MLB | 2025
Here’s something Grey said the other day in his 2026 Fantasy Outlook for Bryce Eldridge:
“I’m going to go out on a sturdy limb — like this dude’s arms — and say he’s out-homering Pete Alonso by 2028. His average exit velocity in Triple-A as a 20-year-old was 95.7 MPH. At 20! Sorry to keep repeating his age, but if a 25-year-old is doing this, it’s whatever. A 20-year-old? It’s ludicrous. He was basically the top average exit velocity guy as a 20-year-old. “As a 20-year-old” repeat seventy-five times. Eldridge is unreal. 90th% EV? 108.6 MPH! Max EV? 114.6! Barrel%? 16.3! Hard Hit%? 64.5! If these numbers mean nothing to you, take my word for it. They’re nuts. Kyle Schwarber led the majors in Hard Hit%, it was 59.6! Ohtani was 58.4%. Look again at Bryce Eldridge’s — 64.5%!”
These numbers look ludicrous no matter how you slice them, but when you throw in the fact that Eldridge was a two-way prospect out of high school and that he’s 6’7” 240 pounds and still getting accustomed to his meta-human frame, the mind boggles at the possibilities. I wish he were in just about any other ballpark, but the Giants have a good lineup that should provide protection and opportunities for the young slugger who just turned 21 on October 20th.

Here’s what I said when he was called up, “Am I the only one mad that MLB teams hold back their rookies, manipulating their service time? The funny thing about my anger when it pertains to baseball is that dissipates by the time I’m into the next sentence. What was I mad about out again? […]

Hello, everyone. Welcome back to the Top 50 Dynasty Second Basemen for 2026 rankings.
Looking at this position overall, it is weak. Second basemen this season slashed .243/.310/.378 with a wRC+ of 92. The SLG, OPS and wRC+ ranked last among all positions. I guess the good news is that as far as average and OBP second basemen ranked fourth and fifth out of the eight positions.
Additionally, many of players in this group aren’t even fulltime second baseman. Many can play third or short or somewhere in the outfield, and those may actually be their primary positions.
Once you get past the top 15 or so players, it is crapshoot as to who to target. If you are rebuilding, just go young – for players like Kristian Campbell, Christian Moore or Kyren Paris. If you are wanting to win now and need someone who will likely play a lot of games, go for a veteran like Marcus Semien, Mauricio Dubon (who can play nearly anywhere) or a Jeff McNeil.

1. LHP Kash Mayfield | 21 | A | 2029
The 25th overall pick in 2024, Mayfield is listed at 6’4” 200 pounds and features a mid-90’s fastball and excellent changeup alongside a serviceable slider. That’s a lot of stuff for a lefty starter, and Mayfield dominated with it throughout high school, winning his state’s (Oklahoma) Gatorade Player of the Year in back-to-back seasons leading up to the draft. The Low-A level brought more of the same: Mayfield recorded a 2.97 ERA with 88 strikeouts in 60.2 innings across 19 starts. You can see the kids-gloves approach in the roughly three innings pitched per game started, so the numbers here get a little padded by avoiding the difficulties of facing a lineup multiple times in a night, but Mayfield did have three straight five-inning starts near the end of the season and dominated those nights, too, allowing just two runs and piling up 23 strikeouts.

Prolly the biggest, “If this guy has everyday at-bats, how is he not the top rookie?” of the current 2026 fantasy baseball rookie series, and that he made the Guards’ postseason lineup begs the question, “Why wouldn’t Chase DeLauter have everyday playing time from Jump Street?” Well, he’s a lefty so I doubt he sees […]

In the top 10 Mets prospects list, Nolan McLean was ranked first, there Itch said, “McLean might actually be a little closer to Lincecum than Tong in terms of stuff and approach to the game. His is more or less a ‘let’s see if you can hit this’ style of pitching, featuring nasty stuff that […]

1. SS Ethan Holliday | 19 | A | 2029
Holliday signed for the biggest contract of any high school draftee in history ($9 million) and then struck out 39.3 percent of the time through 18 games in Low-A. It’s not a big deal. He’s a huge lefty bat at 6’4” 210 pounds, and most of his contemporaries were in the bridge leagues or on the complex. Besides, he still posted an above average 108 wRC+.

Guys. Comma, Comma, Comma. I went over a lot of these rookies already. All right, let’s get what I’ve said previously, “Giants lost Dom Smith, and had an opening at 1st base for Bryce Eldridge, so Frank Voila! Here he is! Kinda wild that Dom Smith would block anyone. Is that the Dom Smith who […]
