Ben Rice Projections | Platoon Splits (RHP vs LHP)
Ben Rice 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% | $ | |

Ben Rice Fantasy Outlook For 2026
Grey Albright Player Summary Not to take anything away from Rice, because I do think he’s decent, but his statline: 26/3/.255 is so hilariously “two thumbs up but while the person yawns.” It’s fine! Listen, it’s better than Mike Lieberthal in 1997! (Yes, that’s the 2nd reference to a random catcher from 29 years ago.) Like Marco Polo might’ve said when he first arrived in Asia, you people might be a bit too excited for Rice. He can’t hit lefties, and Aaron Boone should not let him face them.
