  • • Some Hitters I'm Worried About - May 23, 2026
    Jakob Marsee, OF, Miami Marlins Marsee went 0-3 with 1 K on one hard hit ball. Marsee posted a .841 OPS in 234 PA's last year, so many pegged the youngster as a breakout candidate in 2026. Unfortunately, the breakout is far from happening. Marsee's .242/.365/.403 slash line in May is pedestrian, but his April was much worse. I don't love what I'm seeing to be quite honest. Marsee is striking out a...2026
