| Traded to the Rays. He has 70 career MLB ABs and that’s a lot of at-bats for a 25-year-old in the Rays’ system! They traded away Mangum, who was 30. Hope the Rays don’t have to pay Melton too much in roughly six years. Melton has interesting tools (1... (click to read the rest) |

Jacob Melton Projections | Platoon Splits (RHP vs LHP)
Jacob Melton 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% | $ | |

Jacob Melton Fantasy Outlook For 2026
Grey Albright Player Summary Traded to the Rays. He has 70 career MLB ABs and that’s a lot of at-bats for a 25-year-old in the Rays’ system! They traded away Mangum, who was 30. Hope the Rays don’t have to pay Melton too much in roughly six years. Melton has interesting tools (15/30, 23.5 K%, 399 ABs in his last full year in the minors), and was Itch’s number one Astros’ prospect, where he said, “A left-handed hitter listed at 6’ 2” 208 pounds, Melton at his hottest features speed, patience and power with serviceable defense in center field. His 2025 was interrupted a couple times by injuries, but he’s talented enough to push for a spot in spring. In 35 Triple-A games, he slashed .286/.389/.556 with six homers, 12 steals and a 20 percent strikeout rate. He withered under the bright lights, slashing .157/.234/.186 in 78 plate appearances spread across 32 games. I’d like to hit Grey until he withers.” What on earth? Don’t know where Melton is playing, and he’s a lefty, so he’s absolutely platooning. Worth a flyer in deep leagues.
