Grey Albright's 2026 Player Summary
Cubs have Kelly and Amaya, which is a cluster to predict playing time. Just a bunch of jerkoffs–Oh, wait, they don’t have Reese McGuire anymore. Yes, it seems like Kelly is the frontrunner for the number one catcher job, and last year at this time it... (click to read the rest)

Carson Kelly Projections | Platoon Splits (RHP vs LHP)

Carson Kelly 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.

Carson Kelly Fantasy Outlook For 2026

Grey Albright Player Summary
Cubs have Kelly and Amaya, which is a cluster to predict playing time. Just a bunch of jerkoffs–Oh, wait, they don’t have Reese McGuire anymore. Yes, it seems like Kelly is the frontrunner for the number one catcher job, and last year at this time it seemed like it was Amaya’s job. Watch Jizzie McGuire get re-signed.
