2026 Fantasy Baseball Player Profile

Story silenced critics with a fully healthy renaissance season in 2025. Playing in 157 games, he rejoined the 20/20 club with ease, swiping 31 bags and driving in nearly 100 runs. His average stabilized at .263, making him a four-category contributor. 

2026 Outlook: Story enters 2026 as a top-tier fantasy shortstop again. While the days of .900 OPS at Coors Field are gone, his power-speed combo in this improved Red Sox lineup makes him a safe early-round pick. His 2025 performance was a direct continuation of his strong finish in September 2024, proving that his surgically repaired shoulder is no longer a hindrance. With a full offseason of normal training under his belt for the second year in a row, Story is the veteran heartbeat of the infield.
