Jakob Marsee 2026 Fantasy Baseball Outlook: Young Miami Outfielder Primed to Deliver a Bit of Everything
Jakob Marsee's Miami debut was loud, hitting .292/.363/.478 with five homers and 14 steals in 234 plate appearances. What will the 24-year-old do for an encore? Likely a bit of everything. With 46 steals on the farm in 2023, 51 in 2024, and 47 in just 429 plate appearances at Triple-A last season, fantasy managers can expect the steals to keep flowing. His 8 percent rate of Brls/BBE, 111.1 mph max exit velocity, and 93 mph average airborne exit velocity are all around league-average and should translate to a HR total in the teens. The biggest knock on Marsee is batting average risk, and his .357 BABIP probably won't repeat. However, his expected batting average of .278 would still be a fantasy plus, and his 28.1 ft/sec Statcast Sprint Speed may be high enough to perform consistently above his xBA. Marsee also demonstrated strong plate discipline last season, posting a 9.4 BB% and 20.5 K% backed by double-digit walk rates and a sub-23 K% at every MiLB stop. Miami's leadoff man should deliver plenty of runs scored in an improving lineup, making Marsee a solid value at his 147.87 ADP.
