Michael Busch Projections | Platoon Splits (RHP vs LHP)

Michael Busch 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.

Michael Busch Fantasy Outlook For 2026

Grey Albright Player Summary
Nearly wrote a sleeper for Busch, but didn’t because he shouldn’t be a sleeper. This is similar to why I didn’t write a sleeper last year for his teammate, Pete Crow-Armstrong. I can love a guy, but if they’re priced appropriately or I feel like there’s plenty of hype around them, then they’re not sleepers. So, last year Busch went 78/34/90/.261/4 in 524 ABs with a 9.5 BB% and 23.5 K%. He’s 28. He’s being drafting 50 spots after Freeman; 60 spots after Harper, Devers and Olson. Okay, now that I think about it, maybe I should’ve wrote a sleeper post for him. Not to get all Revenge of the Nerds but I want BUSCH!
