Please see our player page for Michael Harris II to see projections for today, the next 7 days and rest of season as well as stats and gamelogs designed with the fantasy baseball player in mind.

The analysts I consistently read and listen to are the ones who are willing to go back and discuss what they missed, as well as what they got right. Those analysts are the ones who have my confidence that they’ll both be good and keep getting better. So, to that end, I’ll take my own medicine: today’s practice in Wise Effort will be taking an honest look at where I’ve been right and wrong, with one player on each side.

Can you smell what’s floating in the air? That’s right, it is the smell of baseball.

We are only days aways from the official start of spring training, and with Opening Day getting closer and closer, so too is my countdown of the 2026 Dynasty Baseball Rankings toward the top player. After starting at No. 400, the countdown is finally turning inside the top 100 as I feature players ranked 100 to 76.

Here is a quick breakdown of the positions and ages of the players:

SP: 8
C: 3 | 1B: 3 | 2B: 2 | 3B: 2 | SS: 2 | IF: 1
CF: 1 | RF: 1 | OF: 2
IF/OF: 1
Ages 20-24: 2
Ages 25-29: 15
Ages 30-34: 8
Ages 35+: 0

The first thing you notice with the positional breakdown is the fact that there are a lot of positions represented in this group. The only position group not showing up is a left fielder and relief pitcher. And I can let you know now there will be no more relievers showing up in my rankings.

My personal dukkha comes in the form of one Michael Harris II. I am sure Harris is a lovely person. I love watching him play, especially the field. And I have found his hit tool enticing for years, so in 2025, I would have been the one in your draft picking him in the 3rd round. The projections said the pick wasn’t unreasonable, he smokes the ball (HH% of over 45% for his career), and he has a surprisingly good Z-Contact% (upper 80%-range) for such a free swinger. Harris’s 30 HR / 30 SB upside is undeniable and easy to chase. Many of us in the fantasy community have also been guilty of expecting Harris’s impressive hit tool to continue to develop to the point that he is a near superstar level. I still believe that player is in there.
