Manny Machado 2026 Fantasy Baseball Outlook: Future Hall of Famer Still a Top Option
It was another good season from Manny Machado in 2025. The likely future Hall of Famer had his 10th straight season (excluding 2020) with at least 25 home runs while adding 95 RBI, 91 runs scored, 14 steals, and a .275/.335/.460 slash line. Machado is showing zero signs of slowing down either. His 51.5% hard-hit rate, 92.9 mph AVG EV, and 12.9% barrel rate were all his best marks since the 2021 season, and his walk and strikeout rates stayed in line with previous seasons. The only area you can have a minor nitpick with is Machado's zone and overall contact rates ticking down slightly, but both are still around league-average. Machado is one of the safest Top-100 draft picks right now, and also one of the most durable players in the game, playing in a whopping 95.5% of his team's games over the last 11 seasons.
