2026 review

Nico Hoerner made contact as well as almost anyone in the league, but he rarely hit the ball hard: his 8.4 K% over 689 PA was the 4th lowest of 267 hitters with 300+ PA, while his 1.4 Barrel% and 29.1 HardHit% over 578 BBE were the 5th lowest and 25th lowest of the same pool. He played every day for CHC, going .263/.316/.350 with 8 HR, 23 SB and 72 RBI over 689 PA across 159 games. Drafted at NFBC ADP rank 99, he finished 110th of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank, 11 spots below, and 10th of 75 second basemen. His .297 wOBA ran 25 points below his .322 xwOBA over 689 PA, and the swings showed up by month too, a .301 mark over 93 AB in Jul against just .207 over 111 AB in May. In early May the TDK LABS card flagged him coming out of a game with neck tightness as a fresh, load-bearing note, and by late Sep it read him as playing every day with his recent output trailing his expected numbers.
