2026 Fantasy Outlook
Every season, one hitter breaks out in Colorado. Nolan Jones did so in 2023 and Brenton Doyle did so in 2024. Few people had Goodman as the 2025 breakout, but the masher was one of the lone bright spots for an otherwise dreadful Colorado club. We knew Goodman had power, as he hit 36 home runs in 2022 and 34 homers in 2023 in the Colorado farm system, but a lot of those home runs came in friendly parks, and his abysmal showing at the big league level in 2024 scared many away. The thing about Colorado is the depth chart is very fluid, which is how these breakouts continue to happen. Goodman got off to a hot start with five homers and a .268 average in the first month of the season and hit between five and seven homers every month but May over the course of the season. He slightly improved his strikeout rate while drawing a few more walks while hitting 18 of his 31 homers away from Coors. His big improvement in batting average was helped by him hitting .307 at home compared to .248 on the road, and by season's end, only Cal Raleigh was more valuable at the catching position than Goodman was for fantasy managers. The thing about these Colorado breakouts is both Jones and Doyle flopped the following season, so it will be interesting to see what Goodman does as a follow-up, as well as who is next in Denver.

Analysis
Goodman missed two starts while tending to a wrist injury he suffered Monday, though he was able to enter Wednesday's game off the bench and is now ready to return to the starting nine for Thursday's contest. The 26-year-old backstop has been playing exceptionally well as of late, slashing .333/.386/.846 with six homers, 12 RBI and 10 runs scored across his last 10 games prior to getting hurt.

How does Hunter Goodman compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
Goodman was picked up across a number of leagues amidst stretches of semi-regular playing time in Colorado, but his batting average ultimately settled at just .190. He hit .160/.189/.270 away from Coors Field. After being drafted in the fourth round in 2021, Goodman shot through the farm system, taking advantage of the favorable hitting conditions throughout the Rockies organization. That success has not yet translated to the highest level. Even with 14 home runs in 93 MLB games to date, Goodman has a career 59 wRC+ as he enters his age-25 season. The selling point here is catcher eligibility (23 appearances in 2024), but there is no track record in the majors to stand on. It's possible Goodman is not even on the big-league roster to begin the season given that he has multiple minor-league options remaining and no clear defensive home between catcher, outfield and first base.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Reaches impressive power mark
Goodman is the first National League catcher since Hall of Famer Johnny Bench in 1970 to hit 27 homers before the All-Star break, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today Sports.
Analysis
Goodman has been the best power-hitting catcher in the majors this season, and while the Rockies have the advantage of playing at home at Coors Field, Goodman has proven to be a dangerous hitter regardless of the ballpark. The star backstop has 18 of his 27 homers on the road and is hitting .284 with 18 homers, 33 RBI and a .900 OPS in 41 games away from home. Not only that, but Goodman also leads all catchers with 27 home runs, 169 total bases, 54 runs and a .547 slugging percentage.
