Brett Baty -- Fantasy Value
Fantasy Value sources for Brett Baty of the New York Mets
Brett Baty, third baseman for the New York Mets, is currently being managed cautiously entering the 2026 season. Manager Carlos Mendoza announced that Baty will be "slow played" this spring after his right hamstring flared up two weeks ago. He is expected to be limited to first base defensive assignments during spring training as a precautionary measure.
In fantasy baseball rankings, Baty is projected as the #271 overall player in 2026 drafts according to expert consensus rankings (ECR), with expert opinions ranging from #167 to #341 across 16 evaluations. For the 2026 season, projections call for a .242 batting average with 15 home runs, 50 RBIs, and 49 runs scored across 385 at-bats.
Baty's recent performance shows improvement trajectory. In 2025, he posted a .254 average with 18 home runs and 50 RBIs in 130 games, a significant step forward from his 2024 campaign where he appeared in only 50 games with a .229 average and 4 home runs. His 2023 rookie season saw limited production with a .212 average across 108 games. The 2026 projections suggest a slight regression in batting average but modest power production.
