2026 Fantasy Baseball Player Profile
Ryan O’Hearn capped a late-career resurgence with a 2025 season that saw him earn his first career All-Star selection and a major multi-year payday. Splitting the year between the Orioles and Padres (following a deadline trade to San Diego), O’Hearn slashed .281/.366/.437 with 17 home runs and 63 RBI across 144 games. Notably, he reversed a career-long struggle against left-handed pitching, posting an .832 OPS versus southpaws. His ability to hit for a high average and provide steady middle-of-the-order production made him one of the most sought-after veteran bats on the market.
In January 2026, O’Hearn signed a two-year, $29 million contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates, marking the highest average annual value ($14.5M) for a free agent signing in franchise history. He made an immediate impact in his Grapefruit League debut on February 21, 2026, crushing a three-run home run against his former team, the Orioles, in his first official plate appearance as a Pirate.
Heading into 2026, the Pirates have a clear—if surprising—defensive plan for the 32-year-old. While initially expected to DH, the subsequent signing of Marcell Ozuna has pushed O’Hearn into a primary Right Field role, with Bryan Reynolds shifting over to Left Field. This arrangement allows Pittsburgh to keep O’Hearn’s bat in the heart of the order (typically batting third) while utilizing his versatility at first base when needed to spell Spencer Horwitz.

AVG, OBP, SLG, ERA and WHIP are season-to-date through each game, not that game alone — so the column reads as a trend and its last value is the season figure. They stay season-to-date when the log is filtered by opponent; the figure for the filtered games is the one in the Total row. The second game of a doubleheader is marked (2).
