2026 review

Jake McCarthy turned in a huge season on legs and volume, but he did it with a low walk rate and quiet hard contact for a left fielder. He hit .291/.334/.475 with a 15.9 K% and a 5.0 BB% over 596 PA for COL, adding 159 H, 30 2B, 13 3B, 15 HR, 80 R, 83 RBI and 32 SB against 6 CS across 147 games, from his first game Mar 27 to his last Sep 27. Drafted at NFBC ADP rank 416, he finished 24th of 1472 overall in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank, 392 spots above, 20th of 660 hitters and 3rd of 93 left fielders. His .349 wOBA ran 28 points above his .321 xwOBA over 596 PA. His 5.0 BB% over 596 PA was the 20th lowest of 267 hitters with 300+ PA, and his 28.1 HardHit% over 463 BBE was also the 20th lowest of 267 hitters with 300+ PA. The TDK LABS card tracked shifts in the read on him: by early May it flagged a slam that snapped a rough team stretch, by mid-Sep an everyday leadoff man on a hot stretch after a cooler month with power trailing the surface line, and by late Sep a legitimate breakout with a hit in every September game.
