Chase DeLauter Looking Like a Potential Breakout Candidate in 2026
Cleveland Guardians outfield prospect Chase DeLauter is looking comfortable at the plate this spring, collecting at least one hit in seven of the nine games he's played, going 10-for-25 (.400) with three doubles, a home run, and a 2:2 BB:K. The Guardians' second-ranked prospect is expected to break camp as the team's everyday right fielder and could be set up for a big year at the plate. The former first-round draft pick owns highly-rated hit and power tools, and has registered a .302/.384/.504 slash line with 20 home runs in 138 career minor league games. His problem, though, has been staying healthy, playing in no more than 57 games in a single season to date. With his health issues finally behind him, the team felt comfortable enough in allowing the youngster to make his big league debut in the postseason last year, so it shows the confidence they have in his abilities. Slated to bat sixth in the order in 2026, the left-handed slugger could live up to his first-round pedigree and return value on his ADP of 198 overall.
