Matt McLain Projections | Platoon Splits (RHP vs LHP)
Matt McLain projected to 150 Games vs RHP and LHP with 12 team mixed fantasy value. This helps identify a player's platoon value for fantasy baseball based on pitcher handedness. These projections - combining Steamer rates and Razzball projected PA/Game and R/RBI - are a MUCH better indicator of a hitter's platoon splits than in-season stats since it involves multiple years of data and has been properly regressed to league averages. Since games are neutralized across players, values for everyday players may look smaller than for preseason/season to date/rest of season where they benefit from playing time advantages vs other players. In general, left-handed hitters have larger platoon splits.| PA | AB | R | HR | RBI | SB | AVG | OBP | SLG | OPS | BABIP | K% | BB% | $ | |

Matt McLain Fantasy Outlook For 2026
Grey Albright Player Summary Let me text BDon for my McLain blurb…Hmm, why is he texting me a picture of his face photoshopped onto Justin Verlander’s body and McLain on Kate Upton’s body? That’s weird! Well, whatever. McLain went 15/18/.220 last year, but the .220 does appear to be a bit of an outlier. Reds have room to move him up to leadoff if he starts hot, and don’t count anyone out in Great American nor at age 26.
