OVERRATED: Miami Marlins’ Kyle Stowers Isn’t Fantasy Baseball Gold—Should You AVOID His 2026 Hype?

Kyle Stowers’ age-27 breakout with the Miami Marlins raises eyebrows—is he a fantasy steal or a regression candidate waiting to happen? Matthew Ahne dives into where Stowers, Ryan Helsley (Baltimore Orioles), and Kenley Jansen (Detroit Tigers) fit in 2026 fantasy baseball drafts, questioning if late-blooming sluggers can sustain elite production and how bullpen moves might shake up the closer landscape.

Key insights include Nico Lodolo’s upside in Great American Ballpark, the boom-or-bust profile of Yankees’ Cam Shitler, and breakout potential for Dodgers youngster Andy Pages. Matthew Ahne weighs the draft value of underperformers like Teoscar Hernández and injury-riddled stars such as Luis Robert. Is it time to fade Stowers’ inflated price and trust steady veterans like Sonny Gray?
