2026 Fantasy Baseball Player Profile

Barger finally broke through as a full-time regular in 2025, playing in 135 games and providing much-needed left-handed power. He hit 21 home runs and drove in 74 runs, showing he can punish right-handed pitching. While his aggressive approach led to a .243 average and high strikeout totals, his hard-hit metrics suggest the power is sustainable. 

2026 Outlook: Barger is a breakout candidate for 2026. With a full season of experience under his belt, he could push for 25+ homers. His multi-position eligibility (often 2B/3B/OF) makes him a versatile bench piece or corner infielder in fantasy, though his batting average may remain a liability.
