With spring training approaching, fantasy baseball drafts for the 2026 season are underway, starting with first base rankings. Last season showcased 17 first basemen with at least $10 of value, highlighting the position’s depth, featuring veterans like Freddie Freeman and Vladimir Guerrero Jr., alongside rising stars such as Nick Kurtz and Vinnie Pasquantino. The addition of players like Rafael Devers and Willson Contreras with first base eligibility further enhances the pool, making it a strategic position to target in drafts. Key projections suggest Guerrero Jr. leads the pack, with significant contributions expected from other top-ranked players.
