Can Willy Adames Continue to Provide Steady Production in 2026?
In his first season with the team after signing a mega-contract in free agency, San Francisco Giants shortstop Willy Adames posted a solid season in 2025. Across 686 plate appearances, the 30-year-old hit .225/.318/.421 with 30 home runs, 87 RBI, 94 runs scored, and 12 stolen bases. While Adames' 2025 line is slightly worse than the career year he posted with the Milwaukee Brewers in 2024, he's established a steady production floor over the past four seasons. With a career strikeout rate of 27% (26.1% in 2025), Adames is likely to be a drain on the batting average category for fantasy managers. However, he's posted barrel rates north of 12% for four consecutive seasons and has reached the 30-home run mark in three of those four years. He's also locked in as the everyday shortstop in San Francisco and should rack up counting stats as long as he can stay healthy. Adames is now on the wrong side of 30 years old, so he could be hitting the start of a gentle decline phase. Still, he's an above-average power source at the shortstop position for fantasy managers and comes with a reasonable average draft position of pick 117.
