Shockwaves in 2026 Fantasy Baseball Rankings: Corbin Carroll Rockets Into Top 10 While Bednar and Megill Plummet!
– Tyler O’Neill was the anti-Kurtz last year, finishing with a .199 average and a .392 slugging in spite of a .243 xBA and an excellent .523 xSLG. Largely because his strikeout rate was much improved, he actually had a higher xwOBA last year (.360) than during his big 2024 season with Boston (.340) that got him the three-year contract with Baltimore that most have already termed a bust. The Orioles, though, seem to be putting more stock in those actual numbers than the expected ones, because they just stuck him on the bench for three straight games after a 2-for-16 start this season. At least he’s still faring better than Ryan Mountcastle, who has started just once in nine games. I think O’Neill would be worth using in mixed leagues if he were playing regularly, but he’s going to need to catch fire for a spell, which isn’t easy to do while starting two or three times per week.
