"The first projection for the 2026 Major League Baseball season is here. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is an exception, of course. Steamer projects that the first baseman will slash .299/.385/.532 with 32 home runs for a 153 wRC+. Last season, Guerrero Jr. slashed .292/.381/467 with 23 home runs in 680 plate appearances for a 137 wRC+, but was one of the best hitters in the postseason."
"A big reason the Blue Jays were able to do what they did in the postseason was designated hitter George Springer finding the fountain of youth. Last season, Springer slashed .309/.399/.560 with 32 home runs in 586 plate appearances for a 166 wRC+. Unfortunately, Steamer projects he'll slash .260/.342/.455/ with 26 home runs in 609 plate appearances for a 123 wRC+."
Steamer projects Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to slash .299/.385/.532 with 32 home runs and a 153 wRC+. Alejandro Kirk is projected at .276/.354/.434 with 14 home runs and a 121 wRC+. George Springer is projected to decline to .260/.342/.455 with 26 home runs and a 123 wRC+. Addison Barger is projected to improve slightly to .249/.318/.439 with 17 home runs and a 110 wRC+. Anthony Santander is projected to rebound to .230/.309/.434 with 26 home runs. Daulton Varsho is projected for 22 home runs and a 100 wRC+. Nathan Lukes is projected at .273/.337/.406 with seven home runs.
