Curtis MeadWSN · BOS · 1B/3B
2026 review
Curtis Mead hit .253/.353/.498 with a 19.1 K% and an 11.9 BB% over 329 PA, adding 17 HR and 6 SB across 88 games for WSN and BOS. He was designated for assignment by CHW on Mar 25, then moved from WSN to BOS with his last game for WSN on Jul 25 and his first for BOS on Jul 27. A left wrist tracture put him on the 10-day IL Jul 29, retroactive to Jul 28, and he had not been activated as of Sep 27, missing 61 regular-season days. Taken in 296 of 674 drafts at NFBC ADP rank 1268, he finished 250th of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank, 169th of 660 hitters and 21st of 67 third basemen. His .370 wOBA ran 12 points above his .358 xwOBA over 329 PA. He hit .361 over 61 AB in Jul, his best month, against .196 over 92 AB in Jun, his worst. Through early-to-mid May the TDK LABS card read his power surge as legitimate, pointing to sharp contact quality behind a 4-for-5 game with a HR and a double and a pull-side swing-path signal backing the pop.
