2026 Fantasy Baseball Player Profile

Teoscar Hernández remained a reliable source of power in 2025, his second season with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Despite missing some time, appearing in just 134 games, Hernández launched 25 home runs and posted a .738 OPS. His strikeout rate remained high at 24.5%, capping his batting average at .247, but his ability to make hard contact (13.6% barrel rate on 235 batted ball events) ensured his hits were impactful. His outfield defense remained average, but his bat kept him as a fixture in the middle of the Dodgers' lineup when healthy.

Entering 2026, Hernández is a classic "flawed power" fantasy outfielder. Projections suggest a slight rebound in volume if he stays healthy for a full season, with models like Steamer and ZiPS forecasting 25-29 home runs and around 80-90 RBI. His batting average will likely hover in the .250-.260 range, and his plate discipline limits his value in OBP leagues. Fantasy managers should draft him as a solid OF3 option who can carry a team in home runs during hot streaks, but must be prepared for the strikeout-driven cold spells.
