Memphis Redbirds · Outfielder
At just 23 years old, this right fielder enters 2026 riding momentum from a 2025 Post-Season All-Star selection with Texas, signaling he has already proven capable of performing at the highest level. Báez profiles as a potential source of power and RBI production from the corner outfield spot, with the athleticism to contribute across multiple offensive categories including runs and stolen bases. The primary risk lies in whether he can maintain consistency and fully translate his prospect pedigree into sustained fantasy production at the major league level, though his youth and recent accolades suggest significant upside for managers willing to invest. Monitor his playing time and performance early in the season to gauge whether he's truly ready for a full-time role or if a platoon situation limits his ceiling in 2026.
