2026 Fantasy Outlook

Smith had a rapid ascent to the majors after being selected 14th overall in the 2024 Draft, but his inclusion on the Astros' 2025 Opening Day roster was still shocking. He had only 20 plate appearances at Double-A at the time, and only 134 total appearances as a pro. That's important context to keep in mind when assessing his 2025 season, which was unimpressive when looking at his 90 wRC+, .298 wOBA and .671 OPS. Some of the shortcomings he displayed as a draft prospect and a prospect in the pros came through in his first big-league sample, most notably a lack of power caused by a subpar 6.9 percent barrel rate and 45.1 percent groundball rate. His ability to make consistent contact also unsurprisingly suffered - Smith's strikeout rate rose to 27.8 percent, 10 percentage points higher than his minor-league sample - leaving little for Smith to fall back on for counting stat production. While his future is still very likely bright, the context for Smith heading into 2026 is not particularly positive. He was limited to a small-side platoon for the final month of the season, and general manager Dana Brown stated that Smith could begin the 2026 season with Triple-A Sugar Land. This looks to be a buy-low moment in dynasty leagues, but Smith is a very risky selection in early redraft leagues. Read Past Outlooks
