Jonny DeLuca

This 27-year-old right fielder enters 2026 as a bench bat and occasional starter for the Rays with some speed value in deeper leagues. His 2025 brief sample (.333 AVG in 57 AB) offered promise, but the 2026 numbers reveal growing pains as a regular, with a .262 average and just four home runs across 141 at-bats representing concerning power production for an outfielder. The stolen base activity remains intriguing at seven steals, and he should maintain that element of his game, but DeLuca's lack of pop and mediocre batting average make him a marginal fantasy asset best suited for deep benches or league-specific streaming scenarios. Monitor his role with Tampa Bay closely, as increased playing time could improve his counting stats, but current production suggests limited appeal in most formats.
