Matt McLain Surges Up Draft Boards After Red-Hot Spring

Matt McLain has become one of the biggest risers in 2026 fantasy baseball drafts, moving into the top-150 overall. His stock has soared due to a dominant spring performance, leading MLB with 5 home runs, 12 RBI, 17 hits, 13 runs, a .607 average, and a 1.846 OPS. This production follows a difficult 2025 season where he struggled with labrum surgery recovery. Drafters are now viewing him as a top-10 player at the second base position, marking a significant market correction.
