"Nico Hoerner is slashing .324/.410/.507 (159 wRC+), with two homers, six stolen bases, and the same number of walks and strikeouts. He's also become the Cubs' everyday leadoff hitter and, in my opinion, best overall player."
"If you had told me, back in November, that Shota Imanaga would be the clear No. 2 player on a ranking like this, I would have been floored. But how could he not be?"
The 2026 Chicago Cubs Power Rankings will evaluate the active roster based on subjective factors, focusing on recent performance and overall contributions. The rankings will not strictly reflect talent but rather how players are perceived at the moment. Nico Hoerner leads the rankings with impressive stats, including a .324 batting average and elite defense, while Shota Imanaga surprises as the second-ranked player. The rankings will evolve throughout the season, tracking players' performances and contributions.
