Brandon Marsh OF PHI The perennial "boring" OF to draft, Marsh is lighting up the league in 2026, to the tune of .382 OBP and .353 BA through his first 144 PAs. Backing up the numbers is a sea of red highlighted by a 43.5% Sweet Spot percentage and a 48% Hard Hit rate. The homers are unlikely to surge to 20 on the year, but the rest of his numbers should stay solid with sustainable contact numbers...2026

Former Nationals southpaw Mackenzie Gore certainly hasn’t gotten off to the greatest start in Texas.

Zac Gallen-Diamondbacks-SP Zac Gallen went 6.0 IP and gave up 4 ER on 6 H, 2 BB, and 5 K's against the Pirates. Gallen has struggled to start 2026, posting a 4.70 ERA and 1.49 WHIP across 38.1 IP. This is coming off his worst season as a professional (4.83 ERA and 1.26 WHIP). The biggest concern is the sharp drop in strikeouts (14% K) paired with a mediocre 7% K-BB%.
