Unveiling Baseball’s Future Legends: Meet the 2026 Fantasy Prospects Set to Dominate Your League
Why he might not: DeLauter has struggled to stay healthy since joining the Guardians in 2022 with just 138 career games in the minors, and until he shows he can stay on the field it’s going to be a concern. He’s also likely going to platoon in 2026, and while he’s on the strong side of it, it’s obviously going to be something that affects his counting stats at least to begin the campaign.
12) Colt Emerson — INF, Seattle Mariners
Why he can help: Emerson is the top prospect in the Mariners’ system, and one of the best infield prospects in the sport. He’s a left-handed hitter who stings the baseball to all parts of the field, and he routinely is given a plus-plus hit tool by those in the know. He’s also starting to tap into his power as a 20-year-old — 21 in July — and a 15-plus homer season with a similar number of steals is well within reason. He battled Cole Young for a starting gig this spring, and while he lost that battle, there’s very little reason to think he won’t be in Seattle this summer.
