2026 review

Josh Naylor was a steady everyday first baseman for SEA who put the bat on the ball but did not hit for much power: he went .261/.317/.350 with a 12.2 K% and a 6.9 BB% over 650 PA across 152 games and 152 starts, adding 10 HR and 30 SB. That 12.2 K% over 650 PA was the 17th lowest of 267 hitters with 300+ PA. Drafted at NFBC ADP rank 67, he finished 122nd of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank, 55 spots below, and 17th of 65 first basemen. His .297 wOBA ran 13 points below his .310 xwOBA over 650 PA. His playing time held steady all year, from 26 PA in Mar through 103 PA in Sep. The TDK LABS card had him back in the cleanup spot right away in early May, then by late Aug it read a recent dip as sitting on top of an otherwise strong underlying profile, before turning warmer again in mid Sep and describing room for the metrics to catch up by late Sep.
