2026 Fantasy Outlook
The arrow pointed up for Jung in 2023, when the heralded rookie was a middle-of-the-order bat for the team that won the World Series. A two-year slide in production has followed, and injuries to his thumb and wrist may have played a role in a decline in bat speed (22nd percentile), barrel rate (42nd) and exit velocity (39th). And for whatever reason, Globe Life Field bucked an established trend and acted like a pitcher's park in 2025. In early July, when his OPS dropped to .648, Jung was briefly demoted to the minors for a "reset." He returned to the majors later in the month and initially had a productive 10-game stretch, but it didn't last, and he was benched for September stretches when the Rangers were angling for a playoff spot. Through all the volatility in 2025, Jung maintained elite hard-hit and sweet-spot rates. Jung still has power potential, but he needs to smooth out the peaks and valleys which are atypical for those considered to be elite hitters. Read Past Outlooks
