MLB Prospects Shape 2026 Season Outlook Across Teams

The 2025 Arizona Fall League has highlighted several promising prospects, including 22-year-old outfielder Petersen who showcased impressive power hitting but needs to refine his bat-to-ball skills. Another standout is Harber, an undrafted player signed by the Yankees and traded to the Giants, who has demonstrated strong plate discipline and power with the potential to secure regular major league at-bats soon. Meanwhile, the offseason analysis is underway with Baseball America releasing team-by-team prospect rankings for 2026 and fantasy baseball experts profiling top emerging talents such as Anderson Brito, a young pitcher with high strikeout rates and promising potential. The Los Angeles Angels have made a significant coaching addition by hiring veteran pitching coach Mike Maddux, aimed at improving their pitching staff, including potential breakouts from pitchers like Ben Joyce and Jacob deGrom. Additionally, the Angels are eyeing free agent Bo Bichette, a talented hitter with a history of strong offensive production, as a key offseason target to bolster their lineup and address strikeout issues. These developments underscore a period of transition and opportunity for both player development and team strategy heading into the 2026 season.
