FBaseball Overview

At 35 years old, Semien provides veteran stability at second base for the Mets but carries significant regression concerns after a disappointing 2026 campaign. His .214 average and modest 9 home runs through 290 at-bats represent a notable decline from his 2025 production, signaling potential age-related decline or prolonged slump. While he still contributed 30 runs and 6 stolen bases, his 29 RBIs suggest reduced run-production opportunities or inconsistent performance in clutch situations. Fantasy managers should approach Semien cautiously as a bench option or late-round value pick, banking on a potential second-half resurgence from a player who has earned three All-MLB selections and multiple All-Star nods earlier in his career.

Marcus Semien begins rehab with three-run homer
New York Mets infielder Marcus Semien kicked off his rehab assignment with Double-A Binghamton Sunday, going 2-for-3 with a three-run home run over five innings at second base. The hip injury recovery appears to be progressing positively as Semien works toward returning to regular season play. Fantasy owners should monitor his rehab progress closely.

What These Stats Mean

EV Avg — Average exit velocity — how hard this batter hits the ball. Elite hitters (90+ mph) make consistently hard contact, driving better batting averages and more power.

Max EV — Peak exit velocity on the batter's hardest-hit ball this season. Signals raw power potential even without a high HR total yet.

Launch Angle — Average vertical angle of the ball off the bat. The sweet spot for extra-base hits is roughly 10–30°; extreme ground ball or pop-up hitters sit outside this range.

Barrel % — Percentage of batted balls hit with the optimal exit velocity + launch angle combo. Barrels are the single best predictor of home runs and slugging percentage.

K % — Strikeout rate per plate appearance. High K% suppresses batting average and limits run-scoring opportunities — lower is better for fantasy.

Hard Hit % — Percentage of batted balls hit 95 mph or harder. A broader power indicator than barrels; high hard-hit% players rack up extra-base hits and RBI.

Sprint Speed — Peak sprint speed in feet per second. The best predictor of stolen base upside and ability to leg out infield hits.

Bat Speed — Average swing speed at the point of contact. Faster bat speed lets hitters wait longer on pitches and generates more raw power potential.

Whiff % — Percentage of swings that miss. High whiff rates signal strikeout vulnerability, dragging down batting average and overall production.

Chase % — How often the batter swings at pitches outside the strike zone. Low chase rates mean elite plate discipline — more walks, fewer strikeouts, more consistent at-bats.

xBA — Expected batting average based on contact quality, stripping out luck and defensive positioning. Better predictor of future performance than actual batting average.

xSLG — Expected slugging based on batted ball data. A high xSLG relative to actual SLG suggests power suppressed by bad luck that's likely to bounce back.

xwOBA — Expected weighted on-base average — the most comprehensive single expected metric. Combines contact quality, walks, and strikeouts to project overall offensive production.

GB% — Ground ball rate. High GB% hitters trade home run power for speed-dependent value — good for stolen base upside, but a drag on HR and SLG categories.

FB% — Fly ball rate. Elite power hitters combine high FB% with high exit velocity. High fly ball rate + soft contact = home run or nothing type.
