Shohei Ohtani
2026 fantasy baseball stats, Steamer ROS projections, and Baseball Savant Statcast metrics.
Fantasy Outlook
Ohtani is back as a two-way player in 2026, contributing both at the plate and on the mound. His barrel rate as a hitter sits in the mid-20s with a .431 xwOBA and 94+ mph average exit velocity, all in the 99th percentile. On the mound, his xBA against is below .200 with sub-3% barrel rate, meaning hitters are barely touching him.
The key stat to watch is his workload split. Steamer projects 117 IP and 137 K on the mound plus 44 HR and 22 SB at the plate. Managing both without fatigue is the central question. His sprint speed has dipped from 28.0 ft/s in 2025 to the mid-25s, which could signal reduced steal upside, but the power numbers are tracking ahead of projections.
Verdict: Hold. Ohtani as a two-way asset is the most valuable player in fantasy. The dual eligibility alone makes him untouchable. Only sell if you receive two top-10 assets in return.
