2026 review

Jared Young was a part-time infielder whose season kept getting interrupted, hitting .266/.330/.429 with an 18.4 K% and a 7.3 BB% over 342 PA for NYM, adding 9 HR, 17 2B and 3 SB across 103 games. A left meniscus tear sent him to the 10-day IL on Apr 13; he took rehab assignments May 15 and May 19 before being activated May 26, and a concussion put him back on the 7-day IL Sep 18, with no activation on record through Sep 27 — 52 regular-season days missed across 2 stints. Drafted at NFBC ADP rank 666, a rare pick taken in just 5 of 674 drafts, he finished 350th of 1472 overall in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank and 31st of 65 first basemen. His .332 wOBA ran 11 points above his .321 xwOBA over 342 PA, and his best month was Aug at .298 in 94 AB against .205 in 78 AB in Jun. The TDK LABS card had him on the 10-day IL with the meniscus tear in mid May, and by mid Sep described him as a platoon corner infielder with strong numbers against right-handers coming off a multi-hit stretch and starting against a right-handed opponent, before noting late Sep he was back on the IL after a head collision.
