Brice Turang

Turang's main fantasy value in 2024 came from steals (50) while also providing a solid batting average (.254) and runs (72), but he was a much more well-rounded contributor last season. The second baseman posted a .288/.359/.435 slash line with 18 home runs, 24 stolen bases, 81 RBI and 92 runs in 156 games in 2025, with the power output being especially surprising after hitting just seven long balls the previous season. That power production was mostly limited to one month, however, as he caught fire in August with 10 homers and a .343 average. Still, Turang made significant strides in quality of contact and improved his hard-hit rate nearly 18 points to 47.4 percent and his average exit velocity over four ticks to 91.1 mph. The improved contact may have been due to taking harder swings (his bat speed went up more than four mph to 70.7 mph), though his strikeout rate also increased almost six points to 22.8 percent. The increased swing-and-miss was certainly worth the tradeoff for more power, and it positions Turang to potentially becoming one of the most productive second basemen in MLB. Even if he doesn't become a regular 20-homer guy, he'll still offer a ton of fantasy upside as a speedster with a high average, especially if he can get his steals back up to his elite production in 2024.
