DYNASTY BASEBALL TARGETS
5 More Underrated Dynasty Prospects For 2026
We closed out last month by identifying 13 underrated pitchers and nine underrated hitters with underlying traits to target for fantasy in 2026. But why stop there?
Dylan White adds to his offseason list of dynasty prospects to know by presenting a couple more hurlers who didn’t quite make the cut but still have compelling stuff and a few more batters with the desirable Statcast traits suggesting better future run production compared to their surface-level stats.
MLB PLAYER OF THE YEAR
Aaron Judge Is BA’s Player Of The Year
For the second year in a row and third time in the last four seasons, Yankees slugger Aaron Judge has been named Baseball America’s MLB Player of the Year.
Though a historic season from the Mariners’ Cal Raleigh made things closer than anyone might have guessed, Judge’s combination of 80-grade power and an 80-grade hit tool continued to make him the game’s most productive hitter in 2025.
