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

Pete Alonso, 1B, Baltimore Orioles Alonso has been a consistent fantasy producer since his rookie year in 2019.

This is as stable of a fantasy asset as they come. There is a false narrative a...2026
