2026 review

Richie Palacios was a steady, part-time contact bat with a weak-contact limiter attached: he hit .235/.330/.374 with a 17.0 K% and an 11.5 BB% over 399 PA for TBR across 124 games, adding 10 HR, 17 SB and 57 RBI. He was optioned Mar 20 and recalled Mar 24, then settled into a usage pattern that ran from 7 PA in Mar up through 79 PA in Aug and 61 PA in Sep. Drafted at NFBC ADP rank 1200, he finished 228th of 1472 in the TDK LABS 5x5 value rank, and 20th of 75 second basemen. His 28.8 HardHit% over 281 BBE was the 23rd lowest of 267 hitters with 300+ PA, and his .316 wOBA ran 10 points above his .306 xwOBA over 399 PA. The TDK LABS card had him losing playing time to a platoon partner in early May, then turning hot with multi-hit games and a stolen base by Aug, raking with back-to-back power outings by mid Sep, and closing the year described as a steady, volume-based contributor at both infield spots.
