Revisiting Our 2026 Fantasy Baseball Bold Predictions with Justin Mason (Ep. 1384)

Joe Orrico and special guest Justin Mason from FanGraphs revisit their preseason calls, taking victory laps on the predictions that worked and owning the ones that went spectacularly wrong. From Coby Mayo’s power and Nasim Nuñez’s stolen bases to Cade Cavalli’s breakout, the guys break down what they got right and whether the process behind each prediction still holds up. Then come the misses. Pete Crow-Armstrong developed into a completely different hitter and destroyed preseason expectations, while Ryne Nelson, Brett Baty, Devin Williams, Jakob Marsee and George Kirby failed to deliver on some of the guys’ biggest predictions. What went wrong, and which disappointing players could become 2027 fantasy baseball values? Plus, Joe and Justin look ahead to 2027 fantasy baseball drafts, discussing PCA’s case for the No. 1 overall pick, Cade Cavalli’s rising draft cost, a potential Devin Williams rebound, George Kirby’s path back to fantasy relevance and several early buy-low candidates.
