Corey Seager 2026 Fantasy Baseball Outlook: Elite Production if He Stays on the Field
Corey Seager crushed the ball again in 2025, slashing .271/.373/.487 with 21 homers in 445 plate appearances. His contact quality was high, as evidenced by his 20 percent HR/FB, 15.3 percent rate of barrels per batted ball event, and 96.7 mph average exit velocity on flies and liners. Seager also posted a career-high 13 BB% and strong 19.6 K% backed by a 23.6 percent chase rate and 12.5 SwStr%, indicating the 32-year-old hasn't lost anything to age yet. Seager is entrenched in the heart of the Texas lineup and figures to provide elite production in four categories when healthy. Unfortunately, Seager always seems to miss significant time due to injury. Last season's ailments included a hamstring strain in May and an appendectomy in late August that ended his 2025 campaign prematurely. Seager is best deployed in shallow formats where the replacement level is higher when he inevitably gets hurt, though his 100.98 ADP already bakes in the playing time risk. Elite production after 100 players are off the board is hard to pass up.
