Unveiling Baseball’s Future Legends: Meet the 2026 Fantasy Prospects Set to Dominate Your League

Why he might not: Baseball is really hard, as good as Wetherholt looks and as quality as his situation is, there’s a chance that he’ll struggle in his first chance against MLB pitching. We’ll have to see how he does against left-handed pitching, and hitting at the top of the lineup for the rebuilding Cards isn’t quite the “compliment” that it is for some other players. Also, baseball is really hard.
3) Nolan McLean — RHP, New York Mets
Why he can help: McLean got a larger sample than Yesavage did in the majors — although Yesavage was on the mound later because his team was able to make the postseason — and to say he impressed was an understatement. He followed up a 2.45 ERA in the minors with a 2.06 mark once he joined the Metropolitans, and it came with a 57/16 K/BB 48 innings in 8 starts. The best pitch in the right-hander’s arsenal is a sweeper that generates elite break and spin, but he also has a bowling ball of a sinker, a curveball that gets 60 grades on the 20-80 scale and a cutter that can bear into the hands of lefties. Add in a solid change, and McLean has one of the most complete arsenals of a starting pitching prospect we’ve seen in a long time.
