Smart 2B Picks for 2026: Sleepers to Target, Busts to Avoid

The piece explains sleepers (ranked higher than their ADP) and busts (likely to underperform) for 2026 fantasy baseball at second base, highlighting two sleepers—Brandon Lowe (PIT) for his proven power and strong hard-contact metrics, and Luis García Jr. (WAS) who could push 20/20 with a new Nationals hitting staff and improving power metrics—then flags three bust risks: Luke Keaschall (MIN) due to inflated ADP vs. projections, Xavier Edwards (MIA) whose value hinges on speed with limited power, and José Caballero (NYY), who has steals upside but weaker overall projection; the article notes other near-term options and advises weighing ADP carefully in 2B drafting.

Stuff+ Sparks: 2026 Fantasy Baseball Sleeper Starters

RotoBaller uses Stuff+, Location+, and Pitching+ metrics to identify 2025 starters who flashed elite stuff but underperformed, then highlights 2026 sleeper breakout candidates likely to be available later in drafts: Cam Schlittler (big fastball, room to harness third pitch), Ryan Pepiot (high-movement fastball with upside but slider needs work), Sandy Alcantara (post-TJ rebound potential with strong second half), Drew Rasmussen (high floor with a nasty cutter, potential for more strikeouts), Shane Baz (big stuff, needs a more consistent fourth pitch after a mid-season move), and Jack Leiter (big room for improvement with midseason adjustments). These pitchers offer upside in dynasty/redraft leagues for those chasing late-draft gains based on Stuff+ trends.
