Josh JungTEX · 3B

2026 review

Josh Jung hit for average, backed by hard contact: his 49.2 HardHit% over 321 BBE was the 26th highest of 267 hitters with 300+ PA. He hit .299/.365/.462 with an 18.0 K% and a 7.9 BB% over 444 PA across 104 games, adding 12 HR, 54 R and 42 RBI. A left calf strain sent him to the 10-day IL Jul 25, retroactive to Jul 22; he took a rehab assignment Sep 8, was activated Sep 12, then a right hand fracture put him back on the 10-day IL Sep 26, and he missed 53 regular-season days across 2 stints. Drafted at NFBC ADP rank 322, he finished 227th of 1472 overall in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank, 95 spots above his ADP rank, and 19th of 67 third basemen. His .362 wOBA ran 14 points above his .348 xwOBA over 444 PA, and against left-handed pitchers he hit .366/.448/.545 over 116 PA against .276/.335/.434 over 328 PA against right-handers. His best month was Apr at .381 over 84 AB against .262 over 107 AB in Jun. By mid-May the TDK LABS card had him bumped to the 2-hole off a hot start; by mid-Sep it had him as everyday third baseman after the calf injury, and by late Sep it had him sidelined with a broken hand.
