2026 Fantasy Baseball Player Profile
Freddie Freeman continued to defy the aging curve in 2025, serving as a linchpin for the World Series-champion Los Angeles Dodgers. At age 35, he posted another elite campaign, slashing .295/.367/.502 with 24 home runs and 90 RBI over 147 games. While his walk rate dipped slightly to 9.6%, his contact skills remained intact, evidenced by a .342 BABIP and a 139 wRC+. Freeman was a consistent force in the middle of the order, adding 39 doubles to his resume and playing excellent defense at first base. His postseason performance was also noteworthy, as he contributed to the Dodgers' championship run with his trademark steadiness.
Entering 2026, Freeman remains a top-tier fantasy first baseman, though managers should be mindful of his age (36) as he enters the twilight of his prime. Projections forecast a slight regression, with batting averages dipping into the .270s and power output stabilizing around 20-25 homers. However, his floor is incredibly high compared to other options at the position. He is a safe, high-value draft pick who guarantees production in runs, RBI, and average. While he may no longer be the consensus #1 overall first baseman, he is a rock-solid foundation piece for any fantasy roster looking to contend.
