"The Los Angeles Dodgers were well represented on the MLB Top 100 Players Right Now list heading into the 2026 season as Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Mookie Betts, Will Smith, Kyle Tucker, Freddie Freeman, Blake Snell and Edwin Díaz made the ranking. The Dodgers lead all teams with eight total selections, which is one fewer than they had heading into last season but one more than their representation on the 2024 list. Tyler Glasnow, Teoscar Hernández and Roki Sasaki were ranked last year but did not make the list for 2026."
"No. 13: Yoshinobu Yamamoto Yamamoto made a significant jump from being ranked No. 63 a year ago. That stems from the right-hander being healthy all of last year and having one of the greatest postseason performances in MLB history. Most notably, Yamamoto closed out Game 7 of the World Series while pitching on back-to-back days for the first time."
