Willy Adames

Adames had a major bounce-back season for Milwaukee in 2024, but his first year in San Francisco last year was an up-and-down affair. The veteran shortstop had a .680 OPS during the first half but got back on track after the All-Star break with an .828 OPS. He failed to put up a second straight 30-20 campaign but still delivered strong numbers with 30 homers, 12 steals, 87 RBI and 94 runs despite a .225 average, which is the second-worst average of his career. Adames has now batted .225 or worse in two of the past three seasons and has a .233 average over the last four years. However, he's clubbed at least 24 home runs in five straight campaigns and has been more involved on the basepaths the past two years with 33 stolen bases while playing at least 85 percent of his team's games since 2019. Adames has the potential to be a quality producer in all five categories with high volume, but fantasy managers will more than likely need to be willing to deal with an underwhelming average in 2026.
