Seager, Gausman, F. Alvarez, Pfaadt, Mayo

Can Seager bounce back from a down year?... 2025 was Corey Seager's (SS, TEX) worst season since 2019, though some of that was due to a pair of first-half IL stints for a right hamstring strain. Do his skills suggest he can rebound in 2026?

It sure looks that way:

  • Seager's .271 batting average last year was low for him, but right in line with his xBA. His contact rate has gradually declined over the last three seasons, and that has made him less likely to hit .300+....

Almost!
